‘Who’ legend Daltrey ‘won’t be fooled’ on Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON – The Who’s Roger Daltrey brought some revolution to the Capitol Wednesday during the installation of a bust of late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, singing his classic “Won’t Get Fooled Again” to entrenched U.S. lawmakers.

“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!” the British rock royal belted in his famous American-ized twang, backed by a group of gospel singers, guitar and piano, as the graying congressional leadership looked on in the Capitol rotunda Wednesday.

“It was very pertinent to the occasion,” Daltrey told the Post, declining to elaborate further on his song selection. “Isn’t it pretty obvious?”

[ConservativeStatement]

He could have chosen "Eminence Front" and emphasized "It's just a put on..."

In all series, who won’t be fooled again?

[ConservativeStatement]

Not likely these peeps:

This is something that Speaker Boehner put together, right? That is what I heard on the radio. Since Obama gave back a bust of Churchill, to the British, I think this is a good slap in the face to Obama.

Daltrey had this to say two years ago regarding immigration in Britain. Sound familiar?

He tells Britain’s Daily Mail, “I was appalled at what Labour did to the working class - mass immigration, where people were allowed to come here and undercut our working class

“It’s fine to say everybody can come into your country, but everybody should work towards a standard of living expected by people who live here. Not come here, live 20 to a room, pay no tax, send money home and undercut every builder in London. They slaughtered the working class in this country. I hate them for it because it is always the little man who is hurt badly. It’s terrible. It frustrates me.

I always thought he would be a smart guy, glad he got over 30 and was no longer a liberal.

Best concert I ever saw: the Who’s 1976 tour...

[ConservativeStatement]

I saw them a few times over the years and was never disappointed, even a few days after Entwistle passed away.

“Who better to represent rock royalty than Roger Daltrey,” said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who announced Daltrey’s appearance and had it live-streamed on his official web site.

GEE! It’s nice to have ol’ Winston’s bust back, after the Bystanding President had it removed from The Oval Office and sent back to England, isn’t it?
