135 - The Who: Tommy

Originally recorded September 30, 2023. The chances are that if it weren't for the success of this album, Pete Townshend's rock opera about a dead, dumb, and blind boy who becomes the face of a worldwide cult because of his pinball wizardry, the many musicals we have covered or will cover on this podcast would not exist, or exist in a many different way. It's got its flaws, but the theater kids definitely recognize the importance of The Who's "Tommy"!
