Bob Dylan, 83, Sends Hilarious 80th Birthday Message to Fellow Rock Legend
When iconic guitarist for The Who, Pete Townshend, turned 83 this week, there was another legendary rocker waiting to welcome him to his ninth decade on the planet: 83-year-old Bob Dylan. Dylan took to X to wish his fellow Grammy winner a happy birthday on Monday, May 19, writing, "Happy birthday Pete. Who's the new boss? Is he like the old boss? Have you met him yet? Say hello to Roger.' As fans the world over know, Dylan's message was a witty reference to the iconic Who song 'Won't Get Fooled Again" — written by Townshend — which features Roger Daltrey singing the lyrics, 'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.' Music lovers knew exactly what Dylan was talking about, with one person quoting "The Seeker," a song by The Who that name-checks the "Like a Rolling Stone" singer: "I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary, but he could not help me either." Another fan shared a pic of Townshend and Dylan posing from what appeared to be the '80s writing: "Fashion icons." Townshend and Dylan have praised each other's talents over the years, with Townshend even crediting Dylan for helping to inspire the classic Who song "My Generation." '(He) definitely created a new style of writing," Townshend said, per Far Out Magazine. "Dylan was the one who I think got the message across to The Beatles. (That) was that you can write songs about subjects other than falling in love.'

Legendary rock band The Who to say goodbye after six decades with final tour

Famous for hit songs including Baba O'Riley , My Generation , and Behind Blue Eyes , the band was formed in 1964 and made up of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. Lead singer Daltrey, 81, said it was every musician's dream in the early 1960s to make it big in the U.S. charts. "For The Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever," he said. Musical freedom! Rock gave us a feeling of generational rebellion. Guitarist and songwriter Townshend, 79, the other surviving member of the original lineup, said: "Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans." He said he hoped some new fans might jump in to see what they have been missing for the last 57 years. Daltrey said the band would have to play classic hits Won't Get Fooled Again , Baba O'Riley and Behind Blue Eyes , but the rest of the setlist was up for grabs. The tour, scheduled for August and September, is named "The Song Is Over", after a 1971 song they had never played live until a few weeks ago. "Roger always comes up with really great names for tours, but I think that this one is rather poignant," Townshend told reporters. The duo was unable to confirm whether there would be a similar tour in the UK or Europe. After all, even the world's biggest rockers can't escape doctor's orders. "I've been ordered by my voice specialist 'you've got to have a day off after every gig and then after every three gigs you have to have two days off'," said Daltrey. – Reuters
