An old rocker returns to the Stone Age

GASTONIA - Rock icon Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the legendary band The Who,
came to Gastonia's Schiele Museum last week to eat ant eggs dug up with an
antelope horn.

The star also made fire by rubbing two sticks together and floated around the
museum pond in a bamboo raft.

As host for "Extreme History," a new History Channel show premiering Oct. 5
about surviving epic adventures, Daltrey, 59, spent 2 1/2 days filming at the
Schiele's Aboriginal Studies Center where he learned how people got by in
prehistoric times.

Producers picked the Schiele for the episode because of museum expert Steve
Watts, who heads the aboriginal center and was a consultant for the 2000 Tom
Hanks movie "Cast Away" about a man stranded on a remote island.
