Second Prize Is Roger Daltrey

Perhaps not as inappropriate as the Chan-hating jerk on eBay that was flogging a Gary Numan autographed Squire strat, but comical just the same. 

More Interweb Hassles For Pete Townshend (No, Not That Sort)

July 27th, 2006 at 10:02 am by Gerard

From Pete Townshend.com

I’m afraid that it looks very much as though after Zaragosa there will be no free webcasting of any more Who shows, or even segments of the shows, Live or streamed on demand. I may be able to post some segments of the shows in Rachel’s In The Attic series, but only if we can work out some way to pay Roger for exhibiting (or should I say exploiting) his magnificent image and vocals.

Seriously, he seems to be unconvinced that the web has any real contribution to make to our career, and I am not going to spend any more time or money mortgaging my half of the stage – though I may webcast some Who shows and not show Roger at all. Only kidding. For now we have a famous Who stalemate.

If you believe Roger is wrong - and if 2.5 million minutes of Who clips viewed by fans on the web won’t convince him, we’ll need a lot of emails - please write and tell him at [email protected]
