pickInteresting. More detailed & thorough than I expected. At times a but too detailed as a lot of it was the same, but it was interesting to get such a deep insight into this legend‘s life. It ended up being shorter than I thought since about 40% of the book is the acknowledgments, end notes, bibliography, etc.
pickAn interesting skip through Daltrey‘s life from school years, through the formation and progression on the Who, as seen through Daltrey‘s eyes, to his life today. I feel the need to read Pete Townshend‘s memoir now, to get a balanced view.

Forgot to post this yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ My favorite read of April. This was full of fascinating history of not only the band but the larger context of the music industry in Britain and America as well as the social-political conditions that put a lot of that history into context. A slow read but HIGHLY enjoyable!
