Description
Roger Daltrey's story is a wild and hilarious ride through the highs and lows of a generation. Born at the height of the Blitz, Daltrey's early life was marked by turmoil, but it was his determination and creativity that set him on the path to becoming one of rock's most iconic frontmen. From making a guitar from factory off-cuts to forming a band that would become one of the biggest on the planet, Daltrey's journey is a testament to the power of luck, hard work, and sheer bloody-mindedness. As the frontman of The Who, Daltrey experienced the best and worst of the 1960s and 1970s music scene. With its mix of money, drugs, and youthful exuberance, the era was both exhilarating and treacherous. Daltrey's story is a candid and frank account of the wild years on the road, but it's also a story of how a generation redefined the rules of youth and helped shape the modern music industry. This is the story of The Who, of smashed guitars, exploding drums, and the countless moments that defined a generation. With its unique blend of humor, honesty, and insight, Daltrey's memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves rock music, or just wants to know what it was like to be part of something truly special.
