NOTE FROM JEFF:
… and we’re back!
The two remaining members of the Who,
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, have
recorded an album of new music (the Who’s
first since 1982), which will be released
in October, and which they will support
with a tour. Joining them will be Ringo
Starr’s son Zak Starkey on drums, Pete
Townshend’s brother Simon on guitar and
vocals, and Pino Palladino on bass.
