Trying to start a tradition of watching at least one version of Jesus Christ Superstar during easter, with friends, and learning that a lot of people have never seen it or heard the music before. Wild stuff!
How about you?

The Who, Quadrophenia, 1973 on MCA
Not to be confused with the Quadrophenia soundtrack, which followed the 1979 film, this is the sixth studio album from The Who, a 2xLP release from 1973 on Track Records in the UK. It followed Tommy and Who’s Next.
Like Tommy, it’s a rock opera telling the story of a mod named Jimmy, who says in the liner notes:
Schizophrenic? I’m Bleeding Quadrophenic
I love the iconic mod parka on a vespa scooter with the faces of the band in the mirrors: photo by Graham Hughes from an idea by Roger Daltry.
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1980 or later Pickneyville Pressing with the rainbow MCA labels and “©”1980 MCA Records Inc.” in the rim text. The fourth side does not include “Record 1 Side 4” notation – not sure if that’s a misprint or manufacturing error.

Behind the Meaning of "Time" by Pink Floyd
It's impossible to ignore Pink Floyd's "Time" when it comes on – which no doubt enthuses songwriter Roger Waters.https://americansongwriter.com/behind-the-meaning-of-time-by-pink-floyd/

The word is New#PeteTownshend and #RonnieLane, “Heart to Hang Onto,” from Rough Mix,1977
Lyric:
“Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto”While this album is a joint project by Pete and Ronnie (Faces, #SmallFaces), #Townshend fans regard it as Pete's solo album, with interruptions. Here we find Pete storytelling, not with the bombastic stylings of #RockOpera or stiff #RadioPlay but on a human scale in a series of verse-sized vignettes.
While no one would compare Ronnie Lane’s homespun vocals with #RogerDaltry’s #RockGod delivery, Pete uses the interplay of his vocals with Lane’s similarly to the way he trades off vocals in #TheWho, Townshend’s thin, high voice speaking in the vulnerable first person.
After glimpses of these lonely lives, the poignant melody gives way to a crescendo of desperation, drifting away unresolved in a twinkling of keys.
