Amazing what went on in his head at the age of 24!

Pete always sounds like a white boy version of gypsy Django and always on some handicap bluesy thing, like Django self.

When I was younger I thought this was all quite profound. Now, I'm thinking that Frank Zappa album title.

@moosikerin well it meant something to me. In my opinion music back then really came from the heart and wasn't a gimmick. Of course you had exceptions, but everything to me seemed much more pure than it does today.

@jbaby007 I disagree. This is when music was allowed simply to be joy and fairy tales. All the bands nowadays try to say their music has some deep meaning. And they're full of shit. Here's someone saying one of his greatest works doesn't mean anything at all. It's just a fairy tale.

When music meant something...

Tommy is a satire on the quick fix society. You can't get in shape and up to speed if you don't put the time in. Tommy's stoical way isn't a quick fix. you have to care. You have to spend 6 days with the Buddha in order to serve him on the seventh. you have to put the time in to practice. or you grow up to be a donkey at things. "We don't want your discipline." Then, you may go home.

I sing the body electric, I sing myself and celebrate myself. A moment of ZEN.

Consciouness. the yahoo's and wynnhymmns in swift. without people to bother you you transcend. still the vices of each condition the virtues of all.
