I used to love a joint or two, but only at week-ends and only ever at home. I don't smoke at all these days and haven't for years, simply because of my ticker. I do drink a fair bit though, but certainly not to being an alcoholic level. Just a couple of cans a day and a few whiskeys in the evening. The way I look at it, I retired a good few years ago. Had all the health problems you can think of and if I can't enjoy a drink at my time of life, then I may as well give up living.
I've always thought that he looks like a cross between Michael Crawford and Rolf Harris.I have no opinion on Roger Daltrey other than he now looks like an elderly dinner lady.
Reminds me of a cartoon I once saw - a picture of 2 old blokes sat in their chairs in the old peoples home. One says to the other "Just think Frank, I've we hadn't given up smoking and drinking, we'd have missed out on all this"Had all the health problems you can think of and if I can't enjoy a drink at my time of life, then I may as well give up living.

Roger Daltrey of the Who stopped a gig in America when some fans in the crowd were smoking dope. He shouted at them to stop as the smoke etc affected his voice, and he was allergic to the stuff. Not very rock and roll seeing the Who were a rebellious band years ago. But I hate the smell of dope myself it stinks ! I dabbled with it myself years ago but it disagreed with me and stuck to alcohol instead. My son smokes dope and says it's " normal" these days and can't understand all the fuss. Any thoughts on this ?
My son stopped smoking weed for a bit, took up boxing and loved it. But alas the addiction has proven too strong and he's back on it. I can't judge him as I've had problems with drink although I'm okay now. But he knows I don't like him smoking it, but he's a grown man so he has to accept he's got a problem with the stuff.
You're probably right as I've lost mates who carried on drinking when they should have eased up. I myself cut down as it was getting out of hand. I guess we dont like to see our flesh and blood partaking in stuff we deem wrong !As addictions go there are far worse things to be hooked on B, including drink.
I only know of one lad from growing up who died through drugs, one from a combination of drink and drugs but loads through drink.

Yep.... Spot onMy 5houghts are Roger daltrey is a grade A tosser.
Have thought so for a long time.
Loved Quadrophemia though. The nook, the film and the soundtrack and the Whos early stuff.
As for weed don't smoke it myself but in not against and often find myself in environments where there's a strong smell of the stuff.
Sometimes I can't stand it and sometimes I really like it
I wonder what Lemmy would say about Daltrey ? Or Ozzy Osbourne. I went to an Ozzy gig in Leicester years ago and he was that out of it He kept disappearing off stage, we all knew he was taking something, but it's Ozzy Osbourne so thats what you get !Daltry has always been squeaky clean which is why I prefer the other 3 original members. I like my rock stars to be chucking TVs out of windows and being shit faced on stage.
I know he was trying to clean up his act just before he died but KM would have pissed himself at this.
Their tour manager used to keep his TVR in my garage and he said Entwhistle was a top bloke and by far the best one out the lot. He manages Iron Maiden now and likes them all.
I think many of our heroes were on the way to being out of it at most gigs - and some like Syd Barrett went too far and destroyed their own presence - Ozzy is pretty resilient in this case and once singing still sounds like OzzyI wonder what Lemmy would say about Daltrey ?

It's an issue I can't make my mind up on.
On one hand the personal, family and societal effects of people addicted to alcohol and to some extent tobacco are far greater than those addicted to weed, but is that because of the greater numbers doing them because they're legal? I know a fair few people who've had serious health problems and died due to smoking/drinking, but wouldn't have ever touched weed because it was illegal, thinking "it can't be that bad for you if it's legal" Would the problems associated with weed increase if we legalised it more? I feel deep down the government etc know that to ban weed due to health effects you really have to ban alcohol and tobacco but know it would be political suicide to do so.
On the other, I also think that banning drugs just gives an opening to organised crime, and criminalises the victims (addicts). So in that respect it'd be better to make it legal, tax the shit out of it and fund prevention and treatment campaigns.
