****WARNING: Video contains graphic language*****
Roger Daltrey damn near shut down The Who's latest concert because someone was smoking marijuana, and video of the incident is graphic -- for its severely un-rock and roll nature.
During Wednesday nights show on Long Island ... the Hall of Fame frontman stopped singing three songs in so he could berate a fan whose weed smoke was bothering his voice. His bandmate Pete Townshend joined in, screaming at the toker ... eat it up your f***ing arse.
Rock and roll never dies ... but it does grow old.

(991 posts)Roger explained that he has recurring issues with Nodules in his throat, and he's extremely allergic to pot smoke. He was polite in asking people who were close to the stage to refrain from smoking.

Ironic it came as the intro to my generation, boomers rallied to the DARE programs and OTT cannabis crackdown in the 80's.
Maybe they would be better off playing in a hermetically sealed box with O2 pumped in.
