Thanks a lot, Mr. Kibblewhite

 

Thanks a lot, Mr. Kibblewhite by Roger Daltrey  259 pp.

Yes, that is the Roger Daltrey of The Who. This is his autobiography which is only half as long as the one by his bandmate Pete Townshend. While Daltrey covers the main events in his life and that of the band, he spends a bit too much time attempting to justify his behavior when compared to some of the bad behavior of other band members (e.g. They were all getting wasted but I didn't do drugs . . . until I did.) The audiobook was read by Daltrey. Warning, a sort of spoiler: Mr. Kibblewhite was a teacher who told young Roger he'd never amount to anything.
