Tommy (The Who album)
....
....
Synopsis
....
....
As Tommy grows older, he discovers that he can feel vibrations
sufficiently well to become an expert pinball player ("Pinball
Wizard"). His parents take him to a respected doctor ("There's a
Doctor"), who determines that the boy's disabilities are psychosomatic
rather than physical. Tommy is told by the Doctor to "Go to the
Mirror!", and his parents notice he can stare at his reflection. After
seeing Tommy spend extended periods staring at a mirror in the house,
his mother smashes it out of frustration ("Smash the Mirror"). This
removes Tommy's mental block, and he recovers his senses, realising he
can become a powerful leader ("Sensation"). He starts a religious
movement ("I'm Free"), which generates fervour among its adherents
("Sally Simpson") and expands into a holiday camp ("Welcome" /
"Tommy's Holiday Camp"). However, Tommy's followers ultimately reject
his teachings and leave the camp ("We're Not Gonna Take It"). Tommy
retreats inward again ("See Me, Feel Me") with his "continuing
statement of wonder at that which encompasses him".[7]
