The Who: From pill-popping mod figureheads to Woodstock-generation rockers and beyond


In 2004, The Who released a DVD version of The Kids Are Alright in the UK. The classic film documented the band's rise from swinging London wannabes to globe-straddling golden gods of rock, and frontman Roger Daltrey sat down with Classic Rock to discuss the movie, life with Keith Moon, the songs of Roger Daltrey, the Union flag, and 40 years of The Who.


This is a very long piece, well worth reading even though it's from 2004.
