THE WHO "tommy" cd, 1969:
their fourth....
I cant believe it only took them that many album to reach that pinnacle!...
as a comparison The Beatles were still releasing "eight days a week" from "beatles for sale"
as their fourth album and it took Small Faces till their fifth to release "ogdens nut gone flake"
so I rest my case as to the genius that is/was Pete Townshend...
a concept album about a deaf,dumb and blind kid who could play a mean pinball to escape
the memories of sexual abuse at the hands of a relative, a deep dark subject not only then but
also in todays world!...
Townshend said in his "who I am" autobiography that he was Tommy and the album was his way of
coming to terms with the sexual abuse he suffered as a child in post WWII Britain...
a classic album, and my favourite of theirs by a long shot and can only be enjpoyed with the volume up on
full and the cans on!
could have picked literally any track off this one but I chose this one on this occasion:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
