Horse's
Neck
by Pete Townshend (Author)
Townshend explores life's "razor-edged pathways" in this bold, impressionistic
work of autobiographical fiction, with "intriguing experimental writing
packed with vivid imagery" (Library Journal) that strikingly mirrors the
musical compositions Tommy and Quadrophenia. As he recalls his childhood,
the decadent indulgences of success, and a new discovery of life itself,
Townshend re-creates in fiction a powerful personal odyssey from the inside
out. The Publisher.

Quadrophenia
(1979) VHS
Starring: Phil Daniels, et al.
Franc Roddam's terrifically energetic movie, set to music from the
Who's Quadrophenia, is--at the very least, the best film ever based on
a rock album (and, yes, that includes, Tommy, Pink Floyd: The Wall, and
Jesus Christ Superstar). Actually, this tale of the battle between two
early '60s youth subcultures--Mods and Rockers--in the seaside teenage
wasteland of Brighton, England, isn't so much a cinematic "version" of
the Who's 1979 double-record rock opera as it is a story based on the sequence
of songs on the album. Quadrophenia is about that crucial time in teenhood
when the lion's share of your sense of identity is tied up in the music
you listen to, the clothes you wear, and the groups you hang out with.
Jimmy (Phil Daniels) identifies himself with the sharp-dressing, scooter-riding
Mods, who listen to American soul and British pop-rock (The Who themselves
were once rather Mod). The Rockers, on the other hand, are leather-jacketed,
black-booted, motorcycle-riding tough guys who listen primarily to classic
American rock & roll. The film captures this minor pop-culture revolution
perfectly. Look for Sting as a club-hopping slickster, who's shameful secret
is that he's a hotel bellboy by day. --Jim Emerson - Amazon.com
