My Story
by roger daltrey
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.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.
