“…….“You’ve got to be realistic,” Daltrey continued. “You can’t live your life forever. Like I said, people my age, we’re in the way. There are no guitar strings to be changed on this old instrument.”

Guitarist Pete Townshend, 79, also joked about his knee replacement at the event but said it was nothing compared to what the patients in the Teenage Cancer Trust deal with. “

Ironically the lyric writer and singer of the words, ”Hope I die before I get old”, even if meant metaphorically, have lived much longer than the other two.

Keith Moon was young when he died, although he looked older than he was. John Entwistle may not necessarily been young, but all things considered wasn’t really old when died.

I was lucky to have older siblings ( Hippies), they brought home all sorts of music to our home.
One room, the Mamma's and the Pappa's, CCR or Janis Joplin was heard, next room, Cream, Alice Cooper, the Who or Zep .... Parents room ; Perry Cuomo, Louie Armstrong, Count Baisey or Glenn Miller .
