...worst investment you could make. Daltrey performs quite conventional and ordinary songs; the way he performs them is extraordinary and therein lies the quality of this album and of Roger Daltrey. Daltrey is helped along by the best supporting cast and Who soloist has ever assembled: Entwhistle plays bass, Rod Argent sweeps the keyboards, even Eric Clapton brings his talents to play...

The Swedish-born actress and the British rock star once swore "faithfulness to each other in mind, body and soul." Alas, some other pretty face came along and faithfulness fled. Now, on grounds that "he became a superstar with my aid," Britt is suing Rod, 32, for $5.25 million -believed to be half his assets -and another $10 million in punitive damages...
