I think this would have been better if dubya actually liked the who. John Entwhistle was more than just a "steady anchor". He was the best damn bass player who ever lived. He is to the bass guitar as Hendrix was to the Fender strat.
It's amazing how some people can't put politics aside, even for an instant, not even for something as obviously apolitical as this. Roger & Pete are being honored for their contributions to MUSIC. Would have been the same no matter who was president. And people condemn them for not ungraciously walking off stage? Why does EVERY action have to be symbolic? Every occasion politically significant? What world do you people live in?
@Hibernicus1968 I totally agree with you. I haave a friend who hates Bruce Springsteen because Bruce is a Democrat. Not because he doesn't like his music but because of politics. To me thats so stupid.
Amazing the amount of anger and hostility, even calls for death and murder is found in comments on a video to recognize the contributions to 2 exceptional musicians (wold that it had been all 4)
All of you that are so tolerant, open and progressive and are letting your true selves brim over should be ashamed.
There's so much crap on this page. Townshend and Daltrey, as well as Moon and Entwistle, are being honored by the commander-in-cheif of the United States. They worked their butts off all their lives, and should be proud. I don't like Obama, but it would have been the same honor coming from him, or HW Bush, Clinton, or Reagan for that matter.
@5jerry1 Well said my man. I am old enough to remember seeing htem on the first time on an ABC weekday afternoon TV show from L.A. I donpt remember the name, was it Where the Action Is? or something else. Anyway, they were so great then and I have been a fan ever since. I was born in 1954. I am glad that they still rock. When they leave the planet, it will be my wakeup call that soon it will be my time to go too

@5jerry1 And fuck you for not liking the Obama...can't wait for another Republican WASP piece of shit to take over ha? So you can fake a new terrorist attack and blame it on another country and attack it for its wealth.
I can tell you're one of those 9/11 "truthers," which is a self-administered shot to the foot, as far as I'm concerned. Why do you think my criticizing one side of an issue automatically means praising the other? You know what they say about assuming.
As well, this is about the members of The Who being given an honor by the president of the U.S. Take your "troofer" rage elsewhere, I don't want to waste my time.
@InsanelyINsane Sinatra entertainer 40's. Elvis entertainer of the 50's. Beatles band of 60's. Led Zep band of 70's. Michael Jackson entertainer 80's, Garth Brookes entertainer 90's. Beatles most successful and influential. The Who greatest live band. The Stones deserve title greatest rock n roll band, (I think The Who). Led zep is the most popular. U2 next supergroup. In order of importance in rock n roll. The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Led Zep. Most overrated Nirvana and Curt Cobain.

Disgusting. How those cunts could sit there is beyond me. I never knew about this. Fuck the who, sell outs, makes me ashamed to be english. Wankers. think of all the death he caused, the misery, the innocent children, vomit....they shouldn't build a library for bush they should build a gallows.....ahh...cunts
WTF ,,,this is just painful you can tell bush has basically no idea of the who,'s music,,,, speech written by some whitehouse aid who looked them up on wikipedia,,
"Meet the new boss...same as the old boss." It's like Pete had Obama in mind when he wrote this. Those of us who've been around the block enough to know the real world and not just academia knew OBama was a fraud from the get go. You guys who voted for him, next time after swallowing platitudes like 'hope and change' ask a follow up. What does that even MEAN dude!
The first time I heard of the Who was at age seven in 1979, when my parents watched evening news reports about the Cincinnati tragedy. I remember the Who logo on the screen with the words '11 dead'. I thought for a minute
they were a terrorist group!
Speaking of terrorists, can't say I love it that Bush was presenting the honor, but in this case it's the office of the president of the United States that he's representing, so I'm cool w/it.
@pkgannon well, Daltrey may not be much of a Bush fan, but perhaps you should look a bit further into the politics of Townshend and his explanation of that song before you make that conclusion. When National Review listed "Wont Get Fooled Again" as the most conservative rock song of all time, Pete said in an interview that that was "on the money." Furthermore, Pete had quite the spat with Michael Moore as to the inappropriateness of that song for one of his movies.
@IlliniJake The Who is quite possibly the best rock & roll band in history. They are known and revered worldwide, they are musical pioneers, and they are truly talented people who are socially conscious. What the fuck have you done, other than spread misinformation and malicious factoids about a building in private property that is two LONG blocks away from Ground Zero? These "alcoholic drug addicts" are talented enough to be honored by an American President. I doubt you even come close.
I'm totally agreed with you, The Who was a great band, with social concious... exactly that is the bizarre thing in here, with all the repect to the american people, but this man is not quite an example of humanity, see R.Daltrey and P.Townsend accepting thing from this men...it's a little confuse...
@MrMecagoenlamierda Daltrey and Townsend accepted the honor from the Kennedy Center and the American people through their representative, who back then happened to be the person occupying the office of President of the United States. I am no fan of Bush either, and I think that he is the worst president the U.S. has ever had to endure, but in this case I am glad that Daltrey and Townsend were recognized in this manner by the highest elected official in the U.S. Mil saludos a la bella Argentina!
@cousinbros, you're a 20 year old punk who did not exist in the 60's. You don't know shit about nothing, Remember this; what you know now, I forgot years ago
ummm......wth did bush do? all u guys are just old democrats who liked the the beatles, who, zeppelin, hendrix, cream, whatever else. u just followed the give peace a chance shit. if we do that, we'd get our asses killed by the iraquains, (however u spell it) the who is one of my favorite bands even if they are straight up librals. enjoy the music and fuck off peace seekers. because if we didn't have war, we'd be dead. so technically, war = to peace.(or else u wouldn't be alive)
@OfficialDemocrat After that, they should have wrapped him one of those American flags that the bushy's said the iraq's would be waving; they were on fire!
He was a dolt on the world's stage. He is the nation's worst disaster, and should be banned from anything named after a Kennedy.
wouldnt feel PROUD of my favourite band being used as a propaganda instrument by an unpopular, unchristian, satanist, lying scoundrel who KNEW there were no mass destruction weapons in iraq, who just had PLANNED along with cheney an intrusion into iraq LONG TIME BEFORE 911 and simply USED that terrible disaster as a chance to enter there, grab the oil, spread hatred and terror and on top sell it to dumb americans as " war on terror ".
@buchananstreet I'm not proud that Bush presented them, I dislike him and his disgusting regime as much as you do (and for many more reasons than you listed) but the Kennedy Honor is a prestegious award, and I'm proud to see that The Who is being honored as a historic part of American pop-culture. It feels very good to see my country honor these men, and it makes me proud to be a fan. And you don't have to convince me that bush is a crook, I'm more than aware.
SARTRE refused the nobel prize. keith richard refused to be knighted by the queen because he wouldnt wanna be honoured by " the very people who once prosecuted and criminalized us " NOW THATS HAVING BACKBONE! instead of sitting there like schoolboys and getting a late orgasm for being honoured by mister president. sickening to see this! how corrupt can you get ??!
when ANY president ( who wasnt even VOTED) " honours " anybody, its per se ( which, for anglo saxon analphabets, again, means IN ITSELF) POLITICS. you don´t fool anyboy anymore. to " honour " a band, for bush, is craving for acceptance but as the who said in WE´RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT: " hey old mister hung up normal, don´t try to gain my trust . cause you ain´t gonna follow me any of those ways although you think you must. WE´RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT! NEVER DID AN NEVER WILL. " THE WHO said it.
lets state this clearly again: THE WHO were and are one of the best bands ever and yes, daltrey IS still handsome, so what? i dislike his juvenile sloppy style though, pete has more class now. rog could do BETTER than that.he´s a fantastic singer if not the best. but after all we know now, the REASONS bush gave to enter iraQ were LIES and people of the caliber of the who should GET UP AND SPIT IN THE FACE OF THIS MINI HITLER THERE. that would be being a MAN. not a whimp.
some typical SCUM here wrote : " buchananstreet, tat´s very intelligent of you to spell iraq irak ". well, FIRST of all: MOST of the countries in the world spell it IRAK and you arrogant anglo saxon analphabets havent noticed. SECOND: people who are MORE concerned about HOW the country they savaged, plundered, assaulted and mass murdered is SPELLED deserve to be called what they ARE: savages, thieves, brutes, monsters, liars, impostors, war criminals, nazis and bigots to the utmost
@stonecrazy99 , i am not your pal, first of all, sencond: thanks for PROVING all of my points: you fucked up anglo saxons are more concerned with a missing H than with the ONE MILLION INNOCENTS MURDERED IN YOUR NAME IN IRAK ( with a k just like KKK) . thats why you will NEVER AGAIN LIVE IN PEACE. you asked for it. by the way: the missing H can be found all over AFGHANISTAN because your soldiers are ONLY there because of the HEROIN money, not the people. as usual.
LOL, ok, I really had no intention of making a political statement on here, until Bush found a way to drop 9/11 even when talking about Tho Who. Oh, it also would've been awesome to see what Keith Moon would've done at the White House.
Yea, I agree with SPaceAce. Bunch of Morons, Bush is gone, okay, he wasn't the best, but you DID vote him into office, TWICE. Oh yea, and if it wans't you that voted for him TWICE, it was your neighbour, your boss, your best forned, or other family members that did.
@TheUKCanadian , another LIE: he WASNT VOTED IN THE FIRST TIME, everybody knows that and watch the film HACKING DEMOCRACY, it says it all there. the second term he gained under threats, fear mongering and ruthless money campaigns to gain sympathy, also because no other attack happened. thats not " winning ", thats still lying and deceiving, to me. but you anglo saxons have become so brainwashed now, you would believe ANY lie as long as it made you sleep in peace
@MsMoonTheLoon , rogers NOT " fucking handsome" anymore and only ONE single who fan out there has noticced, besides me: he looks bored and boring, his granny glasses and weird crappy shirts make him look like a rancid version of an aging hugh grant, he has lost ALL of his male appeal and looks like an aging high school janitor. even townshend has more style now. its sad to see this. and also: they cant say ONE fucking sentence without stuttering.at THEIR age!
that was MY opinion my dear. And I can see from your icon on your profil that we have VERY different tastes. I love Roger's speaking and singing voice and his hair and everything. He looks different to the 70s, that's right, maybe not as sexy as he was back then but STILL.... I think he's damn handsome for a guy in that age and you should respect my opinion as I respect yours. Peace&Love
They should told him that he's a fucking bastard! They are just smiling at his "funny" jokes like idiots! Rock is a fight against capitalism and military repression! And they called themselves rockers..
@WhiteRabbit1231 YOU NAME IT YOU SAY IT AND YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH HERE UNLIKE MOST MORONS! TOWNSHEND HIMSELF ONCE SAID THAT " WE´RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT" WAS A CLEAR ANTI FASCIST STATEMENT AND BUSH IS A FASCIST: THE MERGER OF CORPORATE POWER AND THE STATE IS, BY DEFINITION - FASCISM. HERE WE SEE A FEW SAD FRAUDS TOGETHER CELEBRATING EACH OTHER WHILE THE DAFT PUBLIC IS SUPPOSED TO APPLAUD TO THIS DISGUSTING CHARADE OF ARROGANCE, EVIL AND IDIOCY: THE IRAQ WAR WAS AND IS A CRIME ON HUMANITY
@DWDave67 - they do not SEEM, the ARE! we only know a tiny percentage of the unforgivable and evil crimes bush and his gangster troupe did in iraq and eveywhere else and if we KNEW, they would HANG from the lamp posts: a real wakeful, responsible and CREDIBLE artist would NEVER HAVE ACCEPTED ANYTHING OUT OF THE BLOODY HANDS OF SUCH A STINKING MASS MURDERER. you dont need a machine gun to be a murderer: bush did it with WORDS and a PEN.
I love the Who and congratulations to them but in the same respect it is ironic that George W. Bush would honor them in that he represents everything that the what was rebelling against in my opinion.
@bluesboy25000 : You are so missing the point! Bush is honoring 2 of the greatest rockers in history. You are infusing politics into it. Great music transcends politics. The fact YOU let it become an issue in your life is your loss, not ours. Lighten up. BTW: Just what white rock band do you think Obama would honor?
@bluesboy25000 .....other than Bruce Springsteen (only after he let the world know how much he would kiss Obama's ass!)....and I freakin love the Boss (sans political views of course)
@bluesboy25000..if thats the case any president would represent everything that they rebelled against..after all meet the new boss same as the old boss
its funny how the brain washed meicocrities call everyone an EXTREMIST who says a reasonable thing BASED ON FACTS. you evil,lazy couch potatos need treatment, not me. I have never killed anyone in my life, bush is a mass murderer who with his quill murdered a million innocent souls. JUST WHO IS THE EXTREMIST HERE? it seems incredible that in moern age ever since hitler , those who criticize the mass murderers are called INSANE, not the MURDERERS ! FUCK YOU,LAZY SCUMS!!
chill out... god... you are going to have a heart attack soon... i suggest you keep politics and music separate since they are 2 entirely different issues...
neither 49 nor retire nor in the domencian republic! you see? thats what morons take as " arguments" when confronted with the truth. no facts, nothing, no truths, just hatred an shouting and irty language to defend the indefendable, namely the fact that america has been hijacked by a gang of maniacs whose power now is in the not much better han s of obama. at least obama hasnt got one million corpses coming to his sleep accusing him of MURDER like bush has it
@buchananstreet dude you really need to chill out and stop posting extreme bullshit like this... i don't like bush either but at least, i'm not crazy about him and this vid is about music anyway, not politics... so, let's just try to keep the two entirely different topics of discussion separate please... thank you...
this is NOT the president of the people - it is a FRAUD an THIEF an war monger who stole the votes from the blacks in floria via threats an forged voting machines. watch the youtube video HACKING DEMOCRACY then you will be convince that bush NEVER really was vote but slicked his way in and abuse his criminal assault on the american people by sending them to eath in iraq and having a good laugh on them smoking a 300 ollar cigar from his stolen oil halliburton money by cheney
@buchananstreet What a crock. EVERYTHING you stated is bull. You are in the Dominican Republic? Stay there please. There were independent recounts of the votes in Florida, Bush actually gained votes. Stop living in the past. You don't know what you are talking about in reference to Haliburton. Cheney never received a dime from those Iraq contracts. He wasn't involved with the company after he became VP.
he NEVER was PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, this was AL GORE: this evil, ugly and stupid criminal has STOLEN the vote, lauchend a dirty and criminal war against children and women in gaza and irak and afghanistan, got subsituted by obama ( if this ones better, I doubt ..) and is the most hated american ever: and WHERE was townshend when state terror hit gaza and falludjah? WHERE WAS HIS " DUTY AS AN ENTERTAINER" he so eagerly did after 9/ 11 in nyc madison square garden?
@buchananstreet You are a total asshole. Go live in Russia, China or somewhere that will cut your nuts off for spouting crap like this. Better yet, get a job.
strange that some cranks just cant face facts : 1) bush stole the vote via his brother jeb in floria from the REALLY ELECTE PRESIENT AL GOR 2) the iraq " war" was planne way back long before 911 3) i DO have a job and probably a better one than you´ll ever have 4) I admire pete and rog since decades and know their very words also after 911 an they CONTRADICT a hundred percent what this mass murerer bushman stans for 5) watch the y.tub rumsfeld/saddam vid,it says it all
@inkydinkydooky I totally agree, man...For fuck sake this is about honouring the surviving members of The Who. Maybe a better idea for this wanker would be to take a large dose of sleeping pills so he can get the rest he needs. Then at least we don't have to listen to this horse shite.
@1984ledzep , this is NOT about THE WHO, this is about BUSH and his need to boost his popularity with YOUNGER voters ! do you REALLY believe, that an ice cold mass murderer like bush, who made of irak not a democracy but a snake pit for evermore terrorism now, that someone like that REALLY gave two filofaxes about the music of the who? dream on! its all MARKETING and PROPAGANDA. an example: BEETHOVEN once got up and left a concert because the corrupt aristocracy attended it
this here is the climax of white hypocrisy: the former " most rebellious anti establishment rock band of the world " getting " honoured" by a " president " who stole the vote ( via his brother jeb in florida and the supreme court) and launched an irrational but long time before planned assassination war against irak and hitherto has killed ONE MILLION INNOCENTS there. and thats only as little as we KNOW. daltrey and t are GUILTY by ASSOCIATION with this evil massmurderer
This is not George Bush delivering a speech. It is the President of the United States delivering a speech. And don't forget he was a partier when he was young - probably he should have mentioned "Eminence Front" though giving his proclivities.
lemmy, you are again wrong and this makes it so boring to " discuss " these matters with people like you: I am so bored of ALWAYS BEING RIGHT whilst you uneducated dorks are always WRONG( you naturally need be considering the limitedness of you cultural outlook, usually!) pete townshend said in an interview" it is my duty as an entertainer after 911 to stand here in new york " WOULD IT NOT ALSO BE HIS DUTY AS AN ENTERTAINER TO SING IN MASSACRED FALLUDJAH or ABUGRAHIB?!!
sorry about that buchananstreet. Well you bore me too, so at least were even. If Townshend said it was his duty to stand in New York(alongside the Americans presumably) well then at least isnt he being consistent collecting his award from Bush? All this huge frustration you have with youtube /facebook idiots on here like me & yet this place u use for your arguments seems really important to you. No, Townshend I'm sure saw his duty was with AMERICANS, there is not a large WHO fanbase in FalludJah
I won't argue with that they were (one of?) the best rock band(s) in history, but tell me, what precisely did Bush do that made him so horrible, compared to such folk as Buchanan, Johnson, Johnson, Hoover, Harding, Wilson?
Despite what people think Hoover was an excellent administrator, just didn't do enough when the Depression began and the Bonus Army fiasco killed his political image. At least Wilson foresaw the importance of an international governance of some kind. Meanwhile, Bush and his tax cuts, esp. the excessive ones to the rich ruined the balance of money in our country, got us into two pointless wars, was the worst speaker in US history, and ruined our national image as well as many other things he did.
many say that BEFORE the taliban werde defeated, life in afghanistan was much FREER THAN NOW ! and its not just sheperds but UNIVERSITARY WOMEN who say that to me ! so get informed before you so generously and cheaply abuse the beautiful word FREEDOM, you sucker !
It is ridiculous to suggest Pete Townshend & Roger Daltrey represent some kind of state sanctioned murder cause they recieved this award from Bush. In that case they(The Who) just as much represent our 'freer-than-Taliban' societies where we don't have music, freedom of speech & Women banned by religeous radicals. Long live The Who & Freedom. I know, corny eh? I learnt everything I know from Buchananstreet. Brace yourself, I can feel a song coming on Oh How many roads must a man walk down.....
lemmy, your ugly, dumbing down, jewish media/ press manipulated status shows effect: to always suggest that WE, the glorious west, are the FREE, and THEY, the evil, dark, satanic, blood drinking arabs, are the retarded and ignorant rest is proof of such idiotic ignorance that it deserves no words: you assholes have no clue whats going on outside your youtube and facebook world, so shut up. bush massacred ONE MILLION innocent people in irak and will BURN IN HELL,guaranteed
buchananstreet: No I dont "always" suggest anything about WE , the west, or attach anything "glorious" at all to any of us compared to the middle east,. I dont believe in Hell("Bush going to Hell") or heaven or any other superstitious nonsense u suggest. There was no dumbing down of any political issue, my issue was the use of eccentric language in the context of a music award ceremony. Daltrey/Townshend DONT represent a FREE society you TIT. They dont represent state sanctioned murder either.
its crazy how they all defend their stinking rich, corrupt, phoney and outdated, obsolete old rock Gods even in the face of evidence: here we dont see 2 rock stars " just accidentally popping" into bush, here we see two submissive, laughable, vain and honour greedy choir boys sucking the dick of their high priest, THATS WHAT WE SEE and no one in their right ethics would sit there and watch this mass murderer laudate them: GET UP STAND UP is the right answer to this!
the real problem i have with the speech is that he calls john the simple anchor... any who fan knows hes much more thn that... hes as important to the who as any other member....
Pete was always jealous of the Led Zep are going criticandolos.Nunca understood, but they were never favorites are legendary but now .. shame that Bush was here.
I CAN'T STAND MORONS WHO MENTION BUSH, THIS IS ABOUT MUSIC LEAVE YOUR STUPID POLITICAL VIEWS OUTSIDE WITH THE GARBAGE. Waaaa two thumbs down for the crybabies
I think this would have been better if dubya actually liked the who. John Entwhistle was more than just a "steady anchor". He was the best damn bass player who ever lived. He is to the bass guitar as Hendrix was to the Fender strat.

You guys who voted for him, next time after swallowing platitudes like 'hope and change' ask a follow up. What does that even MEAN dude!

The first time I heard of the Who was at age seven in 1979, when my parents watched evening news reports about the Cincinnati tragedy. I remember the Who logo on the screen with the words '11 dead'. I thought for a minute
they were a terrorist group!
Speaking of terrorists, can't say I love it that Bush was presenting the honor, but in this case it's the office of the president of the United States that he's representing, so I'm cool w/it.

@pkgannon well, Daltrey may not be much of a Bush fan, but perhaps you should look a bit further into the politics of Townshend and his explanation of that song before you make that conclusion. When National Review listed "Wont Get Fooled Again" as the most conservative rock song of all time, Pete said in an interview that that was "on the money." Furthermore, Pete had quite the spat with Michael Moore as to the inappropriateness of that song for one of his movies.

@IlliniJake The Who is quite possibly the best rock & roll band in history. They are known and revered worldwide, they are musical pioneers, and they are truly talented people who are socially conscious. What the fuck have you done, other than spread misinformation and malicious factoids about a building in private property that is two LONG blocks away from Ground Zero? These "alcoholic drug addicts" are talented enough to be honored by an American President. I doubt you even come close.

@MrMecagoenlamierda Daltrey and Townsend accepted the honor from the Kennedy Center and the American people through their representative, who back then happened to be the person occupying the office of President of the United States. I am no fan of Bush either, and I think that he is the worst president the U.S. has ever had to endure, but in this case I am glad that Daltrey and Townsend were recognized in this manner by the highest elected official in the U.S. Mil saludos a la bella Argentina!
