Daltrey hits out at pop's Cowell
by Richard Simpson
Rock legend Roger Daltrey has launched a vicious
attack on pop mogul Simon Cowell, 42, branding him a
"dreadful piece of c**p who drags the music business
down whenever he rears his ugly f***ing head".
The Who frontman hit out at the record company mogul
and judge on TV's Pop Idol, adding: "He epitomises
everything wrong with the business. Pop stars today
have no longevity. Rock and roll is not about singing
perfect notes or being a showbiz personality. It's
about the anger and the angst. I hate what Pop Idol
has done to the business."
Backstage before a warm-up gig at Watford Colosseum,
Daltrey, 57, said Cowell's manufacturing of the
business would eventually do some good. He said: "That
dreadful f***ing Cowell has done some good - since
something wonderful can only come out of the other end
- like the Sex Pistols did."
Daltrey and the band were performing in Watford last
night to 1,000 fans as a warm-up for their Evening
Standard-sponsored charity concert next week at the
Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
