PositiveThe FederalistRoger Daltrey—the Who’s singer who stuttered through the defiant sentiment, \'Hope I die before I get old\' before he was 21—skipped most of the rock star excesses, which makes for a pretty tame tell-all autobiography ... Who fans reading Daltrey’s autobiography more than likely won’t find much that is new or revelatory. Daltrey didn’t hobnob much with the rock aristocracy of which he was a member. His focus always seemed to be on his career and the welfare of his family (although he established several franchises with out-of-town women while on tour) ... What’s noticeably absent from Daltrey’s memoirs are details about individual songs and albums ... Minor kvetching aside, Thanks a Lot, Mr. Kibblewhite is a fun read about one of classic rock’s founding members and the band he strived mightily with varying degrees of success to keep on track.
