 Really Random Notes

You'd think
Roger Daltrey would be too preoccupied rehearsing
his lines for his upcoming performance as Scrooge for
A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden, but
that hasn't kept him from getting all riled up over a
proposed Robert De Niro-produced film about departed
Who drummer Keith Moon. According to the
Daily Express, Daltrey is refusing the filmmakers
the rights to the Who's music because he's concerned De
Niro's flick -- based on Peter Butler's Moon the
Loon biopic -- will only show the dark side of Moon.
Better, no doubt, to save the Who tunes for the Moon
film Daltrey himself is reportedly discussing with
Warner Bros. No comment was forthcoming from either camp
at press time, but we'll keep you posted . . .
And who's next? According to the Billboard
Bulletin, Daltrey foil Pete Townshend is dusting off
material from Lifehouse, an abandoned Who concept
album from the early Seventies, for use in the BBC's
"Millennium Project" programming. In addition,
Townshend will play his first solo U.K. gig in twelve
years tonight at London's Shepherds Bush Empire . .
