Packing material. There’s a gnarley gash missing chunk on disc one of that Yo-yo ma.

I find the side opposite of the title tune to be laughably bad. The good side sums up, perfectly, what the vibe was like in 1968 on free form radio.

I picked this up for nostalgia. My Dad had it when I was growing up. I might have listened to the A side 2x and wore out the title track.

I likely may never listen to the A side on this copy.

The Who - Tommy

I was deeply disappointed upon first listening to this release. Why couldn’t they make every song sound like “My Generation“? Then I figured out they were telling a story not unlike “Carmen”, an opera I was vaguely familiar with, and each song was furthering the plot. Who 101.

The two albums between this and My Generation didn’t bug you?

I was confused why Elton John wasn’t singing Pinball Wizard.

FMM: they are the weirdest of the big Classic Rock bands and might be the weirdest popular rock band ever.

And in the grand scheme, as great and groundbreaking as Tommy was, it was a test run for this masterpiece...

I need this to complete a run with Moon at the kit and I think I’ll be done then.

Did you know that one of the reasons @Mather is such a big Billy Joel fan is because they share a birthday?

Billy Joel - An Innocent Man

My wife and daughter always loved Billy Joel. Roughly a decade ago, he came thru Charlotte. Our daughter had miscarried her first pregnancy about a week before the show. Everyone was experiencing depression and devastation. I hit StubHub, found the best pair of tickets available (15 rows back on the floor) and bought them for my girls. Initially I was met with push back - why would you buy those, this isn't the time, we're not up to this right now, etc.

They eventually acquiesced and it turned out to be an incredibly healing experience for both of them.

That's the great thing about all music - whether it's your bag or not, it supplies absolute superpowers to someone somewhere.
