Tommy in Quintophonic Sound!

Heheh, and I feel like I need to go re-listen to the original Tommy album, which I've not heard in over 30 years. I liked it enough to be disdainful of the movie soundtrack when it first came out, but not enough to have ever purchased it post-LP. I suppose I still have the album somewhere and could dust off my turntable.

But since it's not on my iPod, I listened to a similarly-themed quasi-rock opera while lying in the sun this morning - Pink Floyd's The Wall - which covers some of the same ground and is, imo, a better piece of music. When I returned from my swim, there was a voicemail informing me that my tickets to see Roger Waters perform The Wall live in December had arrived in the mail.




And as for film, I'm more of a mind to see Quadrophenia - a far better movie based on one of The Who's works.

But I'm eager to see Liztomania for the first time, so I hope mousepod screens that before too long.

There were times when the Russell interview made me decidedly uncomfortable. Thank god for twitter. And it all worked out in the end, as it segued from painful to oddball to hysterical.
