Two great blokes who brightened up the bleak 60s and 70s for some of us.

Watching this movie as a kid I had no idea this song was about a dude being molested by his uncle. Being an adult and having multiple friends and acquaintances tell me stories of how family members touched them and finding out it a huge common thing is crazy. Watching this video today didn’t feel the same as a kid in the 80s watching it on cable tv 😔

I seriously think Keith Moon wasn’t acting in this. He was just being Keith Moon. A literal maniac

A hotel manager called Moon in his room and asked him to lower the volume on his cassette recorder because it made "too much noise." In response the drummer asked him up to his room, excused himself to go to the bathroom, put a lit stick of dynamite in the toilet and shut the bathroom door. Upon returning, he asked the manager to stay for a moment, as he wanted to explain something. Following the explosion, Moon turned the recorder back on and said, "That, dear boy, was noise. This is the 'Oo."[ and turned his cassette recorder back on

People keep pointing to the pedophilia angle of this scene. No. 1) Roger Daltrey is “older” than Keith Moon. No. 2) It’s not clear how old Tommy is where this scene happens in the original album, but in the film, during this scene, Tommy is an adult. His “uncle” apparently isn’t molesting him because of his age but of his disability.
