		Tommy Walker is born while his father is off on some journey (`It's a boy') from which he becomes several years late in returning.
		Tommy is finally cured by watching his image in a mirror smashed by, I believe, his mother's lover (`Smash the Mirror').
		The Tommy album by The Who was the make or break for the group because if Tommy had failed, The Who would have probably disbanded due to lack of funds despite their concerts selling out based on Pete Townshend's guitar smashing and Keith Moon's drum kit demolishing at the end of each gig.

	Amazon.co.uk: Tommy: Remastered: Music: The Who (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		'Tommy' is mainly rock/pop but has many elements of other musical genres neatly arranged into the overall structure of the album, it tells a story whilst simultaneously allowing the listener to wander off in their own thoughts without losing the experience or feel of the music.
		Tommy was, and still is, ahead of it's time in the use of a recurring musical theme throughout, making it an album which seduces the listener into playing it all the way through from start to finish in one hit.
		Tommy was rock's first opera, made into one of the greatest films, and consists of some of the greatest genius ever put into an album.

	The Holloway Pages: Pulp Heroes: Tailspin Tommy
		Tommy jumps at the chance, and to his delight, finds flying to be every bit as enjoyable as he had always thought it would be.
		Tommy was obviously in his teens when the strip began in 1928, but by the time of "The Midnight Patrol" sequence, he was reminding Betty Lou that they had known each other for six years.
		Tommy will have none of it, because he wants to enjoy his vacation, though he begins to take something of an interest when the smugglers sabotage the Coast Guard plane that he, Skeeter and Lt. Casey have been flying around in.

		She wondered what, exactly, he thought to be so winning, then she focused on the powerful arms and the rough cloth against her cheek, and panic rose in her stomach like a startled bird.
		That was Tommy, who'd been checked in that very day after failing to drown himself in the deep end of his parents' swimming pool.
		Tommy was released from the clinic after two weeks, and within days of hearing the tape Lance signed him to a recording contract, with Marty serving as his agent.

	Tommy Keene bios
		Tommy Keene is the undiscovered songwriter of our time, yet he's still at the peak of his powers.
		Maybe the real inherent beauty behind Isolation Party, his fifth full length album, was Tommy's ability to reflect his influences and heartfelt emotions within the songs while mixing the impassioned atmosphere of his live performances to tape; somewhat of a constant challenge in the studio for Tommy.
		Tommy recalls, "He said something like, 'Well, maybe one day you'll make better use of this than I can.'" Tommy still has the guitar to this day and has used it on every studio recording.

	Tommy by Who CD
		Tommy's journey through handicap, drugs, sex, molestation, murder, hero worship, and pinball remains the Who's defining moment as artists, even if WHO'S NEXT was their epitome of rock stardom.
		TOMMY represents all that is good in rock and roll: the bitter, apocalyptic power of "We're Not Gonna Take It", the tight, hilarious, perfectly enjoyable pop of "Pinball Wizard", the awesome bass-drum combos on the instrumentals "Sparks" and "Underture".
		TOMMY is a masterpiece as a whole, an epic, immensely important and meaningful, and yet minimalist album.

	Tommy (rock opera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tommy (1969) is the first of The Who's two full-scale rock operas (the second being Quadrophenia), and the first musical work explicitly billed as a rock opera.
		When Tommy was released, critics were split between those who thought the album was a masterpiece, the beginnings of a new genre, and those that felt it was "sick" and exploitative because of its dark theme.
		Tommy was one of the first music films released with a multichannel hi-fi soundtrack (billed as "quintaphonic sound") and in many theaters it was presented with high-powered concert-style sound reinforcement, played at rock concert volumes.

	Tommy (1975): Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed - PopMatters Film Review
		While Tommy's malady symbolizes the plight of the consumer audience, his commodification as the Pinball Wizard messiah defines and limits Tommy as a human being (much as consumerism reduces people merely to the status of consumers).
		The sequence conflates Tommy's personal revelation with the larger cultural issue of the loss of meaning: the failure of the "father" equals the lies of history.
		Tommy uses a pop-cult product for personal use, for his own method of engagement with the world.

		To say that I was disappointed in Tommy, and that the high esteem in which I had previously held him took a hit, would be a serious understatement.

	Amazon.com: Tommy: Music: Pete Townshend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The Deluxe edition of Tommy simply sounds fantastic when playing the SACD 5.1 mix, the difference between it and the regular layer using a normal CD player is quite significant.
		Tommy is an immensely enjoyable album so I went for this Deluxe hybrid SACD release.
		This Tommy is probably as good as it gets on CD but the stereo SACD layer was a bit of a let down.

		Tommy was released in the U.S. May 17, 1969 reaching #4 and remaining in the charts for 126 weeks.
		Disc one was a hybrid of the stereo version of Tommy, taken from the original two-track master tape and playable on a regular CD player, and a new 5.1 surround mix from the multi-track master tape, playable on SACD or DVD-audio players (depending on format purchased).
		In one early draft, Tommy was to die and be reincarnated as a new character.

		His mother (Ann-Margaret) and step-father try all kinds of weird cures as Tommy enters what should be his adulthood, including a visit to the holy rollers at a church that worships Marilyn Monroe and a special session with "The Acid Queen" (Tina Turner).
		Tommy the movie and Tommy the 1969 concept album should be viewed as two completely different interpretations of Pete Townsend's brillantly scored rock opera or song cycle.
		A key scene for me that at last conveys the intent Tommy is at the end of the movie when Roger Daltrey is trekking to the top of the mountain where his parents picniked in the beginning.
