WHO head quizzes govts on raising swine flu alert

Reached at his home in England, the 64-year-old guitarist said that the program, which is scheduled to air in the fall, comes along “at just the right time.”

“Let’s face it,” he said, “touring with Roger as the Who was getting pretty daft. I mean, he sounds 108 and I look it.”
