Hold onto your socks Brian cause this could knock them off.  Pete once described
Quadrophenia as "The Who's Clockwork Orange."  I kid you not.

I also think Lifehouse is Pete's dystopian answer to Kubrick's somewhat utopian
vision of the future in 2001 (summed up in the Who's Next album cover).  And by
a stretch I see weird parallels between the 1999 version of Lifehouse and
Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

Plus have you ever noticed that if you strip the bowler hats, eyeball cufflinks
and fake eyelash off the droogs in Clockwork Orange they're dressed almost
exactly in Pete Townshend's stage outfit at that time?
