Roger Daltry on the Andrew Marr Show

Neat geezer, that Roger Daltry. He did a great interview today on Andrew Marr's Sunday morning show - reminding us what a regular polymath in the world of entertainment the man actually is. Singer (of course), film producer, actor and charity spokesperson - and in fact a great, down-to-earth raconteur. Seeing this archetypal school drop-out and rock-and-roll hard man develop into a "national treasure" is a bizarre experience. I liked the fact that the 40-something Andrew Marr noted wistfully that Daltry (65) looks younger than he does - a truth which was patently clear as I watched a man who seems totally happy in his own skin - able to note with a wry smile that "I hope I die before I get old" encompasses the universal truth that you are only as old as you decide you are.

Anyway, here's a great Roger Daltry photo available as a limited edition print at http://www.rockachive.com/ - the man in his heyday.
