“I’m Free” #37 8/23/1969

How did a rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind kid who is “cured” thanks to pinball and turned into a godly sort of cult figure become so huge? This was one of the centerpieces of the Who’s magnum opus ”Tommy.” To this day, I can’t quite figure out the timing for the first few lines of each verse. Apparently, neither could Keith Moon. Pete Townshend and John Entwistle played drums on those passages.
