THANK YOU MR KIBBLEWHITE

The frontman of one of the greatest bands of all time tells the story of his rise from nothing to rock 'n' roll megastar, and his wild journey as the voice of The Who.

“It’s taken me three years to unpack the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon’s 21st birthday,” says Roger Daltrey, the powerhouse vocalist of The Who. The result of this introspection is a remarkable memoir, instantly captivating, funny and frank, chock-full of well-earned wisdom and one-of-kind anecdotes from a raucous life that spans a tumultuous time of change in Britain and America.

Born during the air bombing of London in 1944, Daltrey fought his way (literally) through school and poverty and began to assemble the band that would become The Who while working at a sheet metal factory in 1961. In Daltrey’s voice, the familiar stories—how they got into smashing up their kit, the infighting, Keith Moon’s antics—take on a new, intimate life. Also here is the creative journey through the unforgettable hits including My Generation, Substitute, Pinball Wizard, and the great albums, Who’s Next, Tommy, and Quadrophenia. Amidst all the music and mayhem, the drugs, the premature deaths, the ruined hotel rooms, Roger is our perfect narrator, remaining sober (relatively) and observant and determined to make The Who bigger and bigger. Not only his personal story, this is the definitive biography of The Who.

Frontmanul uneia dintre cele mai mari trupe din toate timpurile spune povestea ascensiunii sale de la nimic la megastarul rock and roll si a calatoriei sale salbatice ca vocea The Who. „Mi-au trebuit trei ani sa despachetez evenimentele mele viata, sa ne amintim cine a facut ce cand si de ce, pentru a separa miturile de realitate, pentru a dezlega ce s-a intamplat cu adevarat la Holiday Inn la ziua de 21 de ani a lui Keith Moon ”, spune Roger Daltrey, vocalistul puternic al The Who.
