By the Universal Mind, let's hope that Townshend doesn't attempt to bring
QUADROPHENIA to Broadway! The album defines Rock, and has no business being
diluted as entertainment.
The other two I can live with. IM can be skipped and another TOMMY movie
could work, if it's not done AS a play brought to film.
How about Rumour # 4 (which has no truth in it, since I just made it up):
PSYCHODERELICT being made into a Who album.
