Fans, Collectors Invited to Who Documentary

MUSIC

The Who is looking for a who’s-who of fans, even those whose hidden cameras captured brawls, high jinks and uncouth behavior. Devotees who have anecdotes, memorabilia, photos or video footage (procured legally or otherwise) are being sought to spice

Coming up an official documentary due in 2006. Surviving members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are dipping into private archives for the film, tentatively titled My Generation: Who’s Still Who, which the pair is co-producing with Spitfire Pictures, Trinifold Management and Oscar-winning director Murray Lerner. Lerner, who first filmed The Who at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970, plans to chronicle the band’s unvarnished odyssey, including the infighting, rowdy off-stage escapades, splits, reunions and deaths of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle.

The director hopes to draw upon the resources of The Who’s rabid fans and collectors, who are invited to contact him through www.thewhomovie.com.
