The Who - Puff, Puff ... Shove That Weed Up Your Ass!

****WARNING: Video contains graphic language*****

Roger Daltrey damn near shut down The Who's latest concert because someone was smoking marijuana, and video of the incident is graphic -- for its severely un-rock and roll nature.

During Wednesday night’s show on Long Island ... the Hall of Fame frontman stopped singing three songs in so he could berate a fan whose weed smoke was bothering his voice. His bandmate Pete Townshend joined in, screaming at the toker ... “eat it up your f***ing arse.”

Rock and roll never dies ... but it does grow old.

Roger explained that he has recurring issues with Nodules in his throat, and he's extremely allergic to pot smoke. He was polite in asking people who were close to the stage to refrain from smoking.

I'd still fine people who smoke in public. Not just allergies but people, especially children, shouldn't get unwanted contact highs. I am in favor of bars where people can smoke though.

lol Pete Townshend and his not-so-secret habits




Can't believe he's still socially accepted icon.

Ironic it came as the intro to my generation, boomers rallied to the DARE programs and OTT cannabis crackdown in the 80's.

Weed has always been a part of live music, and it will always be. Sorry, Who.
