DAILY CALL SHEET: AUGUST 6, 2021

Tommy (1975) The Who's rock opera interpreted as an utterly insane screed against cults/false religions. Pure undiluted Ken Russell. TIL: Cults have unquestionable authoritarian leaders. The pope, who must govern within the restrictions of official teaching, doesn't qualify.

Dad Rock Diary: Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (1967) Divorced from the live show/deadhead experience, this is, well... downright average folksy blues rock, isn't it? Laudable Lyrics: Watch what you're doin' with your time. All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind.
