Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his authoritarian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut then came rock and roll. He made his first guitar from factory off-cuts. He formed a band. The band became The Who - Maximum R\u0026amp;B - and, by luck and by sheer bloody-mindedness, Roger Daltrey became the frontman of one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the story of My Generation, Tommy and Quadrophenia, of smashed guitars, exploding drums, cars in swimming pools, fights, arrests and redecorated hotel rooms.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut it is also the story of how that post-war generation redefined the rules of youth. Out of that, the modern music industry was born - and it wasn't an easy birth. Money, drugs and youthful exuberance were a dangerous mix. This is as much a story of survival as it is of success.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFour years in the making, this is the first time Roger Daltrey has told his story. It is not just his own hilarious and frank account of more than 50 wild years on the road. It is the definitive story of The Who and of the sweeping revolution that was British rock 'n' roll.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47259770716505,"sku":"4097","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/files\/RogerDaltryMyStory_ThanksaLotMrKibblewhite.jpg?v=1697815699","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/roger-daltry-my-story-thanks-a-lot-mr-kibblewhite","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
