What, you mean 'Tommy' didn't coalesce as a coherent story . See, there was this blind kid born sometime before 1921, and he had this bad uncle and this bad stepfather (and mom wasn't so great, either), and he liked pinball (unless he actually hated it), and ,,,, whatever all that other stuff was, and some parts sound sorta like Jesus or something. But "Pinball Wizard" and the other cuts SOUND great. And it's, like, an opera, a rock opera at that, see!
