Last week, we noted that punk legend Johnny Rotten has soured on the left. Now Roger Daltrey, lead singer for “The Who” is speaking out against woke culture.
It’s safe to say this is not his generation.
Spiked Online reports:
Roger Daltrey takes on the woke generationWokeness is a completely regressive phenomenon. It is censorious and divisive. But more than anything, wokeness is just boring. From comedy to literature to music, it saps the energy and the fun out of life as it desparately attempts to destroy anything that might offend or provoke.Rock legend Roger Daltrey clearly recognises this. Last week he launched a much-needed attack on the ‘woke generation’ in an interview on The Zane Lowe Show.‘It’s becoming so absurd now with… the woke generation. It’s terrifying, the miserable world they’re going to create for themselves. I mean, anyone who’s lived a life and you see what they’re doing, you just know that it’s a route to nowhere. Especially when you’ve lived through the periods of a life that we’ve had the privilege to. We’ve had the golden era. There’s no doubt about that.’
It’s encouraging to see people in the arts stand up and object to woke culture. Some of them seem to understand that this ideology presents a direct threat to creativity.

Go back to newsprint, go back to word of mouth and start to read books again.”…”It’s terrifying, the miserable world they’re going to create for themselves.”I mean, anyone who’s lived a life and you see what they are doing, you just know that it’s a route to nowhere.
I’m really enjoying the new British Invasion of rock stars from the UK speaking out against the left.
Let’s celebrate Daltrey with one of The Who’s greatest hits:
