Creem Profiles
ROGER DALTREY
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.
HOME: Currently, on top of the world.
AGE: Still alive, ergo: younger than old (one presumes). PROFESSION: Pretty.
HOBBIES: Punching out and patching up with lead guitarists of the enlarged proboscis persuasion; brushing with Macleans.
LAST BOOK READ: The Life and Times of Edith Piaf by Fats W aller, as told to Helen Keller.
LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Taking that damn cross off his neck for all of five seconds.
PROFILE: By transcending punkdom, without relinquishing his feel for it, Daltrey maintains a solid grasp on the rock 'n' roll pinnacle far into the Seventies, as evidenced by the massively successful recent Who tour; at the same time, he is now firmly entrenched on the silver screen, with, of course, television still ahead of him (it's not wholly unreasonable to imagine him subbing for Johnny when guest host John Davidson is out with the flu); in other words, this pretty boy may just surprise everybody and prove to be the most durable and versatile of the Sixties' holdover stars.
BEER: Boy Howdy!
