McCleese caught up with Roger during THE WHO's "farewell tour". Daltrey talks about getting the album, "It's Hard", made:
"Its remarkable that it actually ever got made," he said, "considering the state of Pete at Christmas. He was almost a write-off.....The band in a way now is more of a band than its ever been. Pete's really much more a member of the band than the leader of the band as such."
"Its really strange. There's still a part of me that says he was totally in control all the time. He's definitely schizophrenic. There's half of Pete that wants to be a family man and a Meher Baba person. And there's the other half that's just totally decadent. Totally. And they fight all the time, those two characters."
And when asked "why should The Who continue to exist at all?", Daltrey responds, "I think we're a bloody good rock band. And I don't think there are a lot of good rock bands left."
Also in this issue, AEROSMITH, IGGY POP, and THE STRAY CATS. Record reviews include SPRINGSTEEN's "Nebraska" and R.E.M.'s "Chronic Town" EP.
