Quite sad, actually. This coming from a bandmate of Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, whose hearse was ordered to be towed by the Queen because it reminded her of the one that carried her husband.
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.

My Generation was written long before Keith Moon’s death.

The Who Sell Out... again.
but, as yanks we have no idea what it’s like to be born and grow up with all that brainwashing about the importance of the crown.
Bowie turned down CBE and knighthood. Now there was a real artist.
