He's part of one of the biggest bands rock bands of the 20th century, having sold over 100 million records worldwide during their illustrious 50 year career.
And The Who's Roger Daltry has taken a swipe at today's 'woke generation' as he declared it's 'terrifying' that they are creating a 'miserable world' for themselves.
In a new Interview, the lead singer, 77, added that he feels 'privileged' to have grown up in a 'golden era'. Roger had joined band mate Pete Townshend, 75, on Zane Lowe's Apple Music 1, as they celebrated the release of the super deluxe version of their hit third studio album The Who Sell Out'.

He is exactly right.
These lunatics are intent on literally destroying everything in civilization.

Couldn't agree more. Got a delivery today. The young kid driving opened up the cargo doors on the back of the van and Quiet Riot's "Come On Feel The Noize" was playing. I asked why and he said that today's music was terrible. As for Roger, he was proud of the fact that - despite the The Who being a rock band - you can easily understand every lyric in every song. Quadrophenia - absolutely brilliant.
"I mean, anyone who's lived a life and you see what they're doing, you just know that it's a route to nowhere."
The only spark of hope I get for the future of society is that our parents always said something similar about us.

Looking back at growing up during the optimistic years following WWII and comparing them to now is depressing, to say the least. Our generation grew up in families, went to church and got a top notch education in the public schools. We walked and rode our bikes all around the neighborhood with never a thought of fear. The Saturday matinees found all our friends at the theater to see great movies and quality cartoons. We had freedom, fun and can't remember anyone who was perpetually angry. Lefty politics has reversed those happy days and made everything woke. -Who knows what today's children will find in their future if Big Government manages to take them over from their cradle to their grave. Pray they will choose freedom over tyranny as America's earlier generations always have!!

Remember when Daltry was considered a dangerous influence on youth? He's talkin' bout My G-G-Generation now....and I do hope I die before I get old(er) and see what will happen in the future unless we cancel the media. They spread all this poison for free for the Left.

I'm so proud to have been a Who fan since 1966. Roger (Daltrey) and Pete (Townshend) get it. I wish more would.
BTW, Who's Next (1971) is the greatest rock and roll studio album of all time, with the greatest political rock song with the greatest title: "Won't Get Fooled Again." Those were the golden days of rock. I love the Who.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
Could have been a reference to Biden and Obama.

Daltrey is the all time primal screamer.

As much as I enjoyed early rock & roll, I dropped it when it became all about sex, drugs and politics. The music industry is a dark place.

You’re booming fool Daltrey...THESE ARE YOUR CHILDREN. YOU TAUGHT THEM THIS!!! Where were you when your children needed an adult?!
Certainly not telling them how to be productive citizens and that it’s good to love your country!!!
Typical effing boomer... will never take responsibility for your actions... guess you got yours huh?
