Donald Trump claims he "never heard of" any of the artists originally booked to play the Great American State Fair.

"I never heard of any of them. They're boring. I don't even want them...

"I don't want the music. I don't even know who they are. I don't know their music, I don't wanna know their music.

"But no, a couple of them said, 'We don't want anything that's partisan.' I said, 'That's OK, go someplace else. And we're not looking to be partisan. We're celebrating the country, but we're going to do a rally, a great beautiful rally to 250—250 years—and it's gonna be great, and I think we'll get much bigger crowds."

Roger Daltrey insists that The Who "were the first heavy metal band."

"Jim Marshall invented the 4×12 [speaker cabinet], 100-watt stack for [Who guitarist] Pete Townshend. All the guitar smashing that Jimi Hendrix became famous for, in his style, was basically copied from Pete Townshend, first of all. And the first rock opera, of course, we elevated rock to be maybe up its own ass in a way, you could say it. We were doing it before anyone."
