Title: Quadrophenia "The Punk And The Godfather-The Who
Added: Aug 7, 2007
Author: red777photo
Duration: 5:19
Description:
The literal meaning of it is that Jimmy goes to a concert, and feels like he's been blown off and let down by rock and roll. But, if you want to look deeper, it's about conformity, and The Who themselves. The "punk"-representing culture-is telling the "godfather" how to live, what to do, and that they are living off of each other. "breathe the air we have blown you", "only earn what we gave you", and that Townshend wields an "axe of dying nation".The Who-at least Pete, their driving force-were never mods. But the mods liked them. He was being made by the culture-sort of a role reversal.

Jan 26, 2012 - I was a soldier at 13 but they cancelled the revolution. I saw these guys in 1972 at Saratoga Springs, New York. My ears rang for a week. And when I talk about the good old days... I mean it!
MrHeitz17 Says:
Jan 31, 2012 - This guy has the lines so wrong... If anything the Godfather is saying what he has the Punk saying, and vice versa.
