Tommy

You know, I'm not sure I ever had watched this beginning to end before. It's such a strange movie -- it's hard to say what the point of it really is. I was surprised to hear the history of it -- that originally it was a story about a boy whose life is changed by the power of music. But Pete Townshend apparently had some kind of religious experience with a pinball machine (I can relate) and came back with this new idea -- which everyone said was crazy, until they heard the Pinball Wizard song.

There is, without a doubt, something magic in Pinball. One day, I will capture that magic!
