I'm a music lover. I do not watch much television, but I did watch the part of the Kennedy Center Honors last week when they honored 'The Who.'
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend were in attendance of course being honored so graciously for their inspirational music and lifetime achievement. Their songs are timeless and legendary as are the 4 members who made up the original lineup.
Roger Daltrey - A recognizable voice in rock with his famous work of swinging the microphone in circles on stage.
Pete Townsend - The songwriter of the group. His solo work is just as good as the songs he wrote for the band. 2 words: The Windmill
John "Thunder Fingers" Entwistle - Ever see or hear him play 'Boris the Spider?' Enough said! R.I.P.
Keith Moon - Unfortunate death in 1978. He was a powerful and energetic drummer that opened the door for many generations to come. R.I.P.
I had the Pleasure of seeing 'The Who' in 2000 before John Entwistle passed away. Zack Starkey, the son of Ringo Starr was on drums. It was an amazing concert. When the keyboard to Baba O'Riley started playing, the entire crowd went crazy and every single person sang along.
It was so much fun!

Long Live Rock! Be it dead or alive
