The Who’s Roger Daltrey slams woke culture and ‘living in fear’ of upsetting someone: ‘Get over it’

The Who’s Roger Daltrey didn’t hold back his feelings on ‘woke’ culture as he joined Dan Wootton on GB News on Monday night.

The frontman made an appearance on Dan’s second show on the new channel, following Lord Alan Sugar’s guest spot during its debut over the weekend.

When pressed for his opinion on woke Britain, Roger responded: ‘I just feel, where’s humour? If you’re going to micromanage every emotion you ever have and you live in fear of upsetting someone or being objectionable.

‘We all have the right to be objectionable to anyone we meet.

Read More ‘If you’re offended, fine. Get over it. Get a life and move on.’

Viewers had a lot to say about Roger’s comments, with one slamming: ‘I always found him repulsive. And if that’s a taste of what that channel has to offer, I’m glad I had already decided to avoid it. Ughs all-round.

Taking an ironic swipe and referring to The Who’s ‘stick it to the man’ ethos, another wrote: ‘Old people still trying to put the young generation down, it seems. He could sing a song about that.’

GB News launched on Sunday and was plagued by technical difficulties just minutes into its debut, with Andrew Neil forced to salvage a chaotic interview that viewers were struggling to hear.

Andrew also promised the channel will ‘expose the growing promotion of cancel culture’ and give a voice ‘to those who feel sidelined or silenced’ as he launched the network with a one-hour special.

‘Old people still trying to put the young generation down,”

...No. Just someone who’s wise to history trying to warn ass wipe millennials of where all of this “woke” BS has lead to in the past. Learning to plant trees and taking 14th Century French Art in college hardly gets you ready for real life.

If you can’t be happy, Jack, then move on and get over it. Seriously though being offended is not being a victim of violence

It’s all about control.

I agree with Daltrey that he has the right to offend people and people have the right to be offended. Personal responsibility.

But the other side basically says, “I’m offended. You can’t do that. And so we’re going to shut you down.”

Townsend got there first, now Daltrey is there.

Sooner or later, anyone with ha;f a brain calls BS on this complete stupidity.

And if you complain, you’ll disappear, just like the lesbians and queers.

Three people on twitter say something and you’d think it was the majority. Roger Daltry speaks for the majority.

People like Daltrey and Townsend are comfortable and rich in their legends, so they don’t have to worry about offending people at this point. The new people coming up have to worry about their next movie role, TV role, music output, etc. Those are the ones who have to worry about being canceled.

In honor of his courage...I just purchased two tickets to his concert here in Laughlin (five minutes from my house) in September. Billy Idol is opening for him. Should be a fabulous show!

I’ll be buying a ticket or two for Clapton’s concert in Fort Worth in September. I attended the second day of Crossroads in 9/2019, best concert I ever attended. Wide variety of performers, lasted 8 hours. My favorite memory was Eric playing with Los Lobos on “Made to Break Your Heart”. His encore song was Purple Rain.
