Here's an article from the current issue of EW: Entitled:
"Set Piece De Resistance, Summer of Sam"
Although Summer of Sam explores the Saturday night fervor of a philanderer 
(John Leguizamo) and the problems of an outcast (Adrien Brody) the soul of 
Spikes Lee's epic is neither disco or punk.  Sixty-eight minutes into the 
movie is a bravura sequence set to the tremble and throb of The Who's anthem, 
"Baba O' Riley": Brody purges himself with Pete Townshend's sound and enacts 
a chaotic striptease; Yankees fans pop up in a vigilante mob, Bronx bombers 
of the head-bursting sort; glee alternates with gloom; a guitar falls 
cathartically to pieces; an overportentous street sign catches the sun: DEAD 
END. This is an ecstatic four-minute tour of New York as teenage wasteland"  
(Troy Patterson).  I saw this movie and they do the Who songs proudly. Janet
