The Who's Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are divided over the value of their ongoing webcast.
Townshend has been funding webcasts of the band's performances, with the $10 a pop for signing up earmarked for charity. But Billboard reports that he says Daltrey "seems to be unconvinced that the Web has any real contribution to make to our career." The webcasts will end after their final European show in Spain.He said that the purpose of the webcast was to showcase their new material since The Who have been having trouble meeting their recording deadlines. Daltrey put the kybosh on the webcasts.
What is stranger, though, is Townshend's comments about their working relationship. While he told Billboard that "Roger is my partner in the Who," he went on to insist that, "He is not my partner in anything else. We love each other but we are not regular social buddies like Bono and Edge, we do not discuss or share ideas, and we have no unified joint vision or strategy for the Who or for creative projects in general."
It seems odd that while being partners in the band, they have no creative vision for The Who.
