    This is a major victory for freedom. Have you heard about the WHO pandemic treaty? They have been working on a treaty which would threaten free speech and national sovereignty. If it went through, it would essentially mean that they could CENSOR speech that the WHO deemed to be misinformation. They could also force countries to vaccinate people and implement vaccine passports. But now there is good news - They are BACKING DOWN! In the latest draft of the WHO pandemic treaty, they appear to be BACKING DOWN, removing some of the most draconian rules. This doesn't mean that everything...

    My dear friend Kathy Shaidle was fond of saying that The Who were "better than that stupid band you like." So it only follows that Quadrophenia, the movie they produced about the British youth subculture where they started, is better than anyone else's youth subculture movie. So – better than Trainspotting, Suburbia, Singles, American Graffiti, The Wanderers, Reality Bites, Dazed and Confused, This is England, Jubilee, Rude Boy, Northern Soul, Absolute Beginners, 24 Hour Party People, Performance, Backbeat, Control, That'll Be the Day, Velvet Goldmine, Stardust, Young Soul Rebels, Rebel Without a Cause, The Wild One, A Hard Day's Night,...

    Roger Daltrey fears AI has the power to “destroy” the music industry. The Who frontman, 80, who has already said he believes smartphones and TV are “brainwashing” and killing humanity, added he is reassured artificially intelligent bots don’t have our “empathy”. He told broadcaster Shaun Keaveny, 51, on the ‘Shaun Keaveny’s Daily Grind’ podcast: “The one thing I totally believe AI will never have, and it will be its downfall – it will never have empathy. “It’s going to destroy the music industry if we're not careful… music is a different language, and we shouldn’t let AI control that. “That...

    There are currently no future touring plans in place for the Who, and Roger Daltrey is content with that. The singer recently spoke with The Times about the band’s status, explaining that he’d need to discuss whatever happens next with bandmate Pete Townshend. “I don’t write the songs. I never did,” Daltrey said. “We need to sit down and have a meeting, but at the moment I’m happy saying that part of my life is over.”

    Wiconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is leading a legislative effort to limit President Joe Biden's ability to unilaterally negotiate agreements with the World Health Organization and he anticipates bipartisan support. "So my bill is pretty simple," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "It just says any agreement that the Biden administration enters into with the World Health Organization will be deemed a treaty, and will need to come before the Senate to be ratified by two-thirds of the body." He added that the majority of Republicans in the upper chamber were already on board. "I've...

    Ringo Starr’s son, Zac, was always destined to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a drummer. Interestingly, however, it wasn’t Ringo’s work with The Beatles that persuaded him to step behind the drum kit but their family friend, Keith Moon. At first, Zac Starkey had no intention of becoming a drummer and told the Pittsburgh Post in 2019 that he started as a guitarist. Starkey told the publication: “When I was about 7, I went with my dad to see T. Rex, and I said to my dad, ‘I want to be like that guy. I want a guitar....

  • Roger Daltrey Calls Rolling Stones a ‘Mediocre Pub Band’

    Who frontman Roger Daltrey described the Rolling Stones as a "mediocre pub band" in a recent interview. His comments follow those of Paul McCartney, who reignited the Beatles-vs.-Stones argument when he called Mick Jagger's group a "covers band" — leading to a lighthearted response from Jagger during a concert. In conversation with the Coda Collection, Daltrey offered his own views, saying: "Mick Jagger, you've got to take your hat off to him. He's the number one rock 'n' roll performer." He continued with a laugh: "But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music...
  • Roger Daltrey says Jimi Hendrix stole Pete Townshend’s stage act. But they both stole from blues great Buddy Guy, says the Who frontman

    The Who’s Roger Daltrey has accused Jimi Hendrix of “completely stealing” Pete Townshend’s stage act, and having enjoyed a ringside seat when two of the greatest players ever to pick up the electric guitar were making their bones, he would be in a position to know.Daltrey was sitting down with The Coda Collection for a career-spanning interview, when he made the claim – in good humour, it has to be said – but he offered an almighty caveat: that neither invented firebrand guitar hero stagecraft. That honour goes to the blues great Buddy Guy, whom Daltrey not only considers the...
  • The Who at The Concert For New York City - 2001

    October 20, 2001 at Madison Square Garden in New York City in response to the September 11 attacks. One of the best 30 minutes of rock ever. "Who Are You?", "Baba O'Reilly", "Behind Blue Eyes", and "Won't Get Fooled Again". One of the last times Entwistle played in concert. Apparently this was not seen by many because of copyright issues at that time. It is only 480p. Does anybody know where a better quality version of this might be? Could you imagine being Governor George Pataki making a speech after this?

    'Even as of now, the US government has not launched and broad and serious investigation into where the coronavirus came from' Actually, it looks like this virus did come from a lab in China. Nearly a year and a half into the pandemic, that’s the new consensus in the American media. Boy, these things change fast. There are holdouts of course. Just today, over at the Washington Post, a China shill called Michael Gerson wrote a hilariously overwrought column entitled: "The right is dwelling on slanderous myths about the origins of COVID-19." The radical right! Slanderous myths! Russian QAnon sleeper...
