News Ticker: The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Rivers Cuomo VH1’s next “Rock Honors” broadcast will be devoted entirely to the Who. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry are scheduled to perform at the ceremony, which airs July 17th. Fleetwood Mac are discussing a 2009 tour, but Lindsay Buckingham tells Billboard “I don’t think anything is written in stone yet” when it comes to the collaboration Sheryl Crow alluded to earlier this month. Rivers Cuomo is using YouTube to ask fans for help writing a song called “80’s Radio.” Cuomo has most recently directed his co-writers to “come up with some chords, yo.” Lou Reed, My Chemical Romance and Santana are among the acts announced for this year’s Beale Street Music Festival, taking place May 2-4 in Memphis.
