Roger THAT! Who-ray for Roger Daltrey!
Interesting how the Brits have managed to keep a traditional reverence for the honor of knighthood intact.
The fee to get it out of impound far exceeded the value of the car. The "theft" by the Queen inspired Townshend to write "My Generation".

Fast forward to now and here's Roger Daltry taking a knee for a pat on the shoulder.
Why wasnt he knighted with a saif? That’s what a caliphate tool should use.
I’m happy for him. Too bad the UK is imploding in real-time. I wonder if the future Islamic Caliphate of Britain will recognize his knighthood??
I’m not sure why.
The UK’s Deep State gives them out like candy.
And to some very nasty people.
Interesting, as Roger is known to have more conservative political views. In fact, his relationship with Pete Townshend, a very open leftist, is strained by their differences. Furthermore, Pete has not been knighted, even though he was the absolute core of The Who.
I like the sword that gave Daltrey knighthood much better than the sword that took Hugh Fitzcairn’s head.
Key music industry figures knighted:
Sir George Martin (1996): Beatles producer.
Sir Paul McCartney (1997): For services to music (Beatles).
Sir Elton John (1998): For music and charity.
Sir Mick Jagger (2003): For services to rock music (Rolling Stones).
Sir Van Morrison (2015).
Sir Rod Stewart (2016): For music and charity.
Sir Ray Davies (2017): For services to the arts (The Kinks).
Sir Ringo Starr (2018): For services to music (Beatles).
Sir Barry Gibb (2018): For music and charity (Bee Gees).
Now Sir Roger Daltrey.
Well done Roger, and a big thank you to Mr. Kibblewhite.
Daltrey is 81 and keeps talking about his, his, his, his, his ge-ge-generation.
Daltry was a real trouble-maker in that business as he REFUSED to do drugs.
"Off with 'is head, bloody old faht!" **SNIKT!**
So sexy! And provided background music of my youth.
Not much more than a tradition of pop culture. The monarchy is nothing but a tourist attraction for England.
