uggghhh, just saw Roger Daltrey doing an "Infomercial"
Edited on Sat Jul-17-04 10:28 PM by chimpsrsmarter
with some mindless spokesmodel type for Time Life rock collection. He looks like he's had some plastic surgery. Does he need the money that bad?

3. I hate that....

It ruins it for me... I lose a LOT of respect for my former heroes.

Neil Young is one of the few that is still clean. Even my guitar hero, Ritchie Blackmore allowed the use of Man on the silver man for some commercial (the subject of which I forced myself to forget).

9. AH, Yes...Roger "Anything-for-a-buck" Daltrey
He also did a show on "The History Channel" about the old west. In one scene, they were cooking beaver tail. One guy turned to Roger and asked "Have you ever eaten beaver?" And Roger just gave him a deadpan stare.....

:-)

10. God...I'm so depressed...
That's what happens if you don't die before you get old.

Sigh.

He could be staring in a sequel to "Vampirella".

15. OK, step into a over-the-hill rock star's shoes for a week...
See how quickly you "sell out".

16. I doubt he needs the money
maybe he misses seeing himself on tv, either case it's sad.

17. He must need the money
...otherwise he wouldn't still be trying to make money off the name of a band which has lost half its membership. You don't see Johnny Ramone out there touring as "The Ramones" and he's even a damn Republican.

Fuck Roger and Pete both. I don't have any respect left for either of them after the way they toured before Entwistle's corpse was cold.
