   31 October 2007 - Roger Daltrey, Manches

   Roger Daltrey:   
   	- Conan actually bought a drum kit when he was eight and played   
   along Who albums until he was forced to stop.   
   	   
   	- He hasn't seen this new thing.  great job promoting it.  It'd   
   be silly for him to see it as he's got his memories of the real thing;   
   he'd just watch himself, anyway, and not notice anything.  It'd be like   
   home movies and probably feel uncomfortable.   
   	   
   	- He hates it when The Who comes on in a pub or the like.  But   
   he seemed to perfect swinging the microphone and doing tricks.  He got   
   very good and could probably take the cigarette out of someone in the   
   front row.  He wouldn't try that now as he couldn't see it.  It's   
   somewhere and if he tweaks it a bit it'll come back somewhere.   
   	   
   	- In the special they talk how he loved to fight as a young man.   
    He still does.  Usually people who love fights have to be good at it.   
   	   
   	- He and Pete Townsend once got into a serious confrontation   
   where he broke his guitar over Daltrey's head.  That can kill.  It was   
   very funny, and sadly ... they were doing Quadrophenia, and a film crew   
   was suppost to record the rehearsal.  They'd been sitting on their cases   
   the whole rehearsal; it's hard to do.  Townsend had had two or three   
   bottles of brandy; the film crew is friends.  Little scruffle.   
   	   
   	- He wouldn't fight.  They let him go, he stood there, Pete   
   Townsend spitting at him.  Then Townshend hit him over the head with a   
   guitar and he still wouldn't fight.  Then he started throwing punches;   
   he was so drunk ... Daltrey threw one punch, Townsend was knocked out.   
   The next five minutes is blanked by panic.  He remembers holding his   
   hand begging, ``I didn't mean it!''  We laugh about it now.   
      
      
   Manchester Orchestra:   
   	- I'm like A Virgin Losing a Child (Conan doesn't say what their   
   album title is): something about have you seen his baby girl, but that   
   doesn't seem to match any titles.
