Cultural Facts: [34]

  1. A Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Pinball Star: Pete Townshend built Tommy as a rock opera about a boy shut off from the world who becomes a pinball messiah. Decca issued this US 2LP set while the band was still figuring out how to play the whole thing live.
  2. Kit Lambert Pushed the Opera Idea: Manager-producer Kit Lambert egged Townshend toward a full narrative album after the mini-opera A Quick One. Without Lambert's push, Tommy might have stayed a pile of related songs.
  3. Uncle Ernie Was Keith's Dark Joke: Keith Moon's Uncle Ernie vocal is sleazy on purpose. Townshend gave him the predator part knowing Moon could make it uncomfortable without a speech about it.
