" . . . . The story is set on a
rock . . . . in the
middle of a stormy sea . . . . ",
announces Pete Townshend
onstage as
The Who dives in
to "Quadrophenia".
This
artwork is a homage to that opera.
It's
the tale of an angst-filled 1960s Mod
named Jimmy, who possesses double-
schizophrenia:
QUADROPHENIA ! ! ! !
- - - - Four
distinct personalities - - - - each
personified by a member of The Who.
As Townshend wrote it: •
Roger Daltrey "Helpless Dancer" - Violent
& Determined, Aggressive &
Unshakable • John Entwistle "Is It
Me?" - Quiet & Romantic, Tender &
Doubting • Keith Moon "Bell Boy" -
Insane & Devil-May-Care, Unreasoning &
Bravado • Pete Townshend "Love
Reign O'er Me" - Insecure & Spiritually
Desparate, Searching &
Questioning
Laced with '60s-
style Pop Art, it's
also an
illustrated chronicle of the band from
1964 to the present [the present
being
1976].
I love you! I love you! I love Keith's face- and you really captured John's funny side. My favourite honestly is Jimmy the Mod there in the middle... it really sums it up, love. Long Live Rock!
