Re: Quad's political correctness



I would like to post a few quotes from Pete's pdf about the current status 
of Quad that I think relate to the whole question of lyric changing.

"Joe produced a very striking and original dramatic treatment for the major 
part of the story. With a few clever strokes he solved many of the 
structural and dramatic problems of staging this work."

"...we knew with absolute certainty that Joe’s ‘Cappuccino Kid’ version
was going to work."

"The workshop went very well. Joe suggested adding some Who standards to the 
concert scene (The Punk and The Godfather). Everything sounded terrific 
played by Rabbit, Simon and John O’Hara (who mainly banged away at bongoes 
and congas)."

"With time pressing we met this week (July 2001) and looked at Joe’s new 
complete script. It is excellent. I am really excited now that we have a 
solid theatrical foundation for Quadrophenia. We have also stablished an 
intimate – yet powerful and moving – sonic framework for the music that - if 
necessary - will keep our production lean and mean and very cost-efficient 
and versatile."

Keep the faith.
Jeff
