Wow, wish I had witnessed that bizarre scene. When Russell was here last year for the Florida Film Festival, he was interviewed by a capable person, and the whole thing went just fine. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. I like it more each time I watch, including my sympathy viewing last night. Also, I am always struck by the mega-Oedipal undertones in the scenes between Daltrey and Ann Margret just after he wakes up. Good grief, they look like they're going to go all "From Here To Eternity" in the surf. I was a mere ten years old when I first saw Tommy, and it was a bracing jolt of "dreaming with eyes wide open," as my young brain went into a state of "Wow, am I really seeing this?" I treasure it for helping me to have an appetite for the unconventional.
