Book Reviews of TOMMY: The Musical
Book Review: THE Who's TOMMY
Summary: 5 Stars
Admitting I'm a bit biased is putting it lightly. This was one of the first albums I purchased as a child and one of the first CD's I purchased as a young adult.
Paul McCartney becomes a Knight!
John Lennon's a National (or international) Hero!
And then The Who's Tommy becomes a Tony Award winning Show!
Even with Bush as our President, I still have faith in mankind.
The book is awsome! It not only is a script, but a great photo album and documentery. If I had one dissapointment, it was that the free CD with in it had only one song. But, there was a reason for that, and it was free!
I not only read it immediatly, but Tommy as entered my travelling discs once again. And I am listening to it regularly.
On a side note... I coach the local High Schools Speech Team and talk to the student regularly about music and not just literature. I was shocked how many music lovers that know all classic rock and modern rock that had never heard on Tommy.
Pete Townshend wrote over 35 years ago about a child who was verbally abused by his parents, sexually abused by a close relative and phycially abused by a cousin. Sound like most books, songs, movies and TV shows of today!
Sorry to rambel.
