LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 1, 2019…BORN IN 1944, TODAY SINGER ROGER DALTREY TURNS 75. DALTREY IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE WHO. HOWEVER, HE WAS KICKED OUT OF THE BAND FOR BEATING UP KEITH MOON WHEN MOON WAS SUPPLYING TOWNSHEND AND ENTWHISTLE WITH DRUGS. DALTREY ALSO FLUSHED MOON’S DRUGS DOWN THE TOILET BECAUSE HE FELT IT WAS AFFECTING MOON’S PERFORMANCE. THIS WAS IN 1965. HE APOLOGIZED 3 DAYS LATER, AND THE BAND HAD A VOTE AND DECIDED TO LET HIM BACK IN, BUT HE WAS ON DOUBLE SECRET ON PROBATION.
A GOOD MOVE ON THE BAND’S PART, WITH DALTREY AT THE HELM THE WHO HAS SOLD OVER 100 MILLION ALBUMS
HERE’S DALTREY FRONTING THE WHO WITH A LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN’
