Official Announcement

I apologize if this has been posted already, I only get the digest:

 LONDON (Reuter) - Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and rock legends from ``The 
Who'' are to headline the biggest rock concert in London's Hyde Park for 
20 years, organizers announced Tuesday. 

    Crowds of up to 150,000 people are expected for the June 29 concert, 
with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey of the 1960s' British band The Who 
performing the rock opera Quadrophenia. 

    Daltrey said: ``It's a bit like going to the dentist but it will be 
great fun and no one plays our music better than us or him (pointing to 
Townshend).'' 

    The concert will be in support of the Princes' Trust, set up by 
heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles to help young people. 

    Townshend, describing its impact, told reporters: ``I met a group of 
kids in Covent Garden the other day who were musicians. And one of them 
said 'We are in a band and we're trying to do melodies.' 

    ``I asked them how they got going and they said they got a grant from 
the Prince's Trust.''

I find it odd that 1) no mention of JOHN, and 2) Why is Roger not willing 
to do it?  Did any body catch this on tv by any chance?
