On this day in 1966, the European media reported that Roger Daltrey had been killed in a car accident. Daltrey has spent the past few decades proving them wrong. Here are my Top 5 songs by The Who, what are yours?
Happy belated birthday to Pete Townshend!
The legendary rocker was born May 19th, 1945 in London, England.
Roger Daltrey set the record straight about the time he knocked out Pete Townshend today. The Who singer told Howard Stern, on his radio program and TV show, that the story, which Townshend told a couple of years ago, is indeed true.
So much of the Who's creative tension was the result of the fact that its members didn't particularly like each other. None of that is really any secret, but in a new interview, guitarist Pete Townshend discussed how they managed to work together despite all the animosity.
The Who's Pete Townshend has apologized for his onstage behavior in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, where he mouthed an obscenity at a man who attended the show with his young daughter.
It happened earlier this week at a show in New Hampshire, when Roger made the dedication to a 12-year-old girl, blind since birth.
The drummer provides the heartbeat for a band. These are my Top 5 Drummers, who are yours?
The grandparents aren't alright. Throughout his career, Pete Townshend's famously profane mouth has often caused his admirers to smile, shake their heads and say, "That's just Pete being Pete." But now, it seems to have gotten him in trouble with a fan and his daughter.
The history of the Who is littered with tragic events. From Pete Townshend's abuse when he was a child to the 1979 deaths of 11 fans in Cincinnati to John Entwistle's overdose in 2000. One of the lesser known stories occurred on Jan. 4, 1970, when Neil Boland, who was Keith Moon's driver and bodyguard, was accidentally run over by Moon's Bentley.

It's a tale that could only be told by the man who lived it, and Pete candidly recounts the story of his, uh, amazing journey in his new memoir, "Who I Am".
