It's *Eminence* Front, and it's when someone tries to be something they're
not.
You know, a put on.
And, it's one of the greatest examples of John's bass prowess that I can
think of.
Well, Heaven and Hell jumps to mind, as do others.
Not to mention the overpowering message to people to BE REAL!

I love the song.
To quote Chris Charlesworth, "It's really no surprise that the best track on
'It's Hard', Eminence Front, is actually more a Townshend solo effort than a
band recording."
It's about "putting on a facade to hide behind."
