Timothy Tilghman is pleased to deliver a lecture on The Who, ‘Whophile: The Song Is Over – Six Decades of The Who’ at the Tattooed Mom on August 20, 2025. Whophiles are encouraged to attend a discussion about an iconic British Rock & Roll institution – The Who – that continues to rock live on stage after six decades. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey embody the hard-driven music once The Who plug in and crank it up in performance. Their rock anthems resonate with their fans and have an exciting backstory to share with hardcore followers and emerging supporters.
