Re: Underture



To me, "Tommy" has no weak points. It`s the first work of the Who I ever
heard, and the whole thing had a lasting effect on me. I played it over and
over again. I enjoyed every sound. I was into listening to it, I didn`t know
the story, so listening, I tried to make up my own (what I knew was only
that Tommy was "blind deaf and dumb").
