'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Wow what a bad Who fan I am. I totally can't place the reference.
dangit I found a page that claims to have the entire libretto but I can't get it to load past page one. The record is one of the things I left behind in Chicago. I wonder if D has it on CD.
towards the end of the show, what prompts opening Tommy's Holiday Camp, since all the followers can't fit in his home "there's more at the door..."
my mind's a blank between Pinball Wizard and "you know where to put the cork". Maybe it's time to add the movie to my netflix queue.
edit: yippee! Instant viewing!
Tommy was my first (grown-up type) album ever, inherited from my sister. I know every song from beginning to end. I have performed the entire album many, many times to an imaginary audience of thousands. I wish there were video of 8 or 9 year-old me singing Acid Queen (a song which made NO sense to me at the time.)
It's still one of my favorite albums.
Jen, any chance you can make it to Dallas in the next 6 weeks or so?
Oh, I wish, omnis. I'd love to see a stage production, not to mention hang out with you and DJ. But I don't think the bank account will support those wishes. (However, if I suddenly get a windfall, I'm there!)
Did I miss DebetEsse's birthday? Or is it tomorrow? Many happies, either way, Debet.
Oy, this is when my having been not only an elementary school teacher, but one with a specialty in gifted ed is not necessarily a good thing. Good thing I have a strict hands off policy in my own kids' classes.
Oy, indeed!
Wow that was quite different from how I remember it, but I only saw the film once and it was on TV. I must have listened to side 2 more because it wasn't until the second half that I was sure they had changed stuff. And what were the MPAA smoking when they gave that a PG rating? Best Veuve Clicquot product placement ever. I hope that's the last time I hear Jack Nicholson sing.
the original Rock Opera album is different than the 1972 movie, which is different than the 1990's Broadway Musical. Of course, the version we are doing, is more true to the original version, but cherry picking from the other two versions. Of course then there was the whow Live At Leeds, which was slightly different, and we are cherry picking from too.
To be honest, I dunno which version is which anymore. And there are huge differences between the two. One of them has captain walker killing the lover. Another version has the lover killing Captain Walker. And of course, there is a version that apparently kills Tommy which I never recall from before.
