Who’s Daltrey no Stones fan
The Rolling Stones likely won’t get no satisfaction from Roger Daltrey’s new comments about the band.
Daltrey, the longtime frontman for The Who, compared the Stones to pub performers in a new interview with the Coda Collection.
“But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a mediocre pub band!’” Daltrey said with a laugh.
Daltrey, 77, did have high praise for the Rolling Stones’ frontman, Mick Jagger.
“You’ve got to take your hat off to him,” Daltrey said. “He’s the number one rock ‘n’ roll performer.”
The Stones, who have won three Grammys and received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
The English band’s eight No. 1 hits on Billboard’s U.S. Hot 100 chart include “Paint It Black” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
Daltrey’s remarks about the Stones follow comments made by former Beatles rocker Paul Mccartney in an interview with The New Yorker that was published last month.
“I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are,” Mccartney said. “I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.”

Beware if you break up with singer-songwriter
Somebody go check on Jake Gyllenhaal.
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift performed the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” this weekend on “Saturday Night Live,” days after dropping her highly anticipated reimagining of the 2012 album “Red.”
The extended rendition of the heartbreaking ballad — which Swift famously wrote about her turbulent relationship with actor Gyllenhaal — is a standout track on “Red (Taylor’s Version),” which includes a mix of familiar hits and newly released songs from the vault.
“Cause there we are again in the middle of the night/ We’re dancing ‘round the kitchen in the refrigerator light/ Down the stairs, I was there/ I remember it all too well,” Swift sang on “SNL” while strumming a red guitar on a blanket of autumn leaves.
“And there we are again when nobody had to know/ You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath/ Sacred prayer, and we’d swear/ To remember it all too well.”
Wearing all black and her signature scarlet lipstick, Swift belted devastating lyrics such as, “You call me up again just to break me like a promise/ So casually cruel in the name of being honest,” as the short film she directed to accompany the 10-minute tune played in the background.
The dramatic music video sees 19-year-old “Stranger Things” star Sadie Sink portray a character based on Swift, while 30-year-old “Teen Wolf ” alum Dylan O’brien plays a man inspired by Gyllenhaal.
“Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it/ I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it,” the Grammy winner sang softly as fleeting images of Sink and O’brien flashed on the screen.
During Saturday’s “Weekend Update,” coanchor Colin Jost pretty much spoke fo r everyone when he said, “I think the lesson we all learned this week is: Never break up with Taylor Swift.”
