Tommy
Tommy
In 1969, the cult British group The Who released the first kind of Rock Opera Tommy. The leader of the group, the guitarist and poet Pit Townndhen came up with the plot about the deaf -mute boy who is destined to become a new Messiah, for people endowed with all traditional feelings are too busy to comprehend the true God. The initiated `Beatles` hobby for Indian mysticism made itself felt. Six years later, Ken Russell corrected the too winding plot, put it into visual forms and received at the exit one of the most interesting musicals of the decade. Separated from the world by an impenetrable wall, Tommy only knows how to play a pinball, the balls from which they remind him of bearings, which his mother once collected at the factory. One fine day, the unfortunate child is the wizard of Pinball performed by Elton John and blesses him. Tommy steadily goes forward and becomes a rock star of an international scale. It is noteworthy that all this happens with a deaf -blackened person. However, the good old rock performed by The Who sounds very ironic.
