For this book I have consulted the following sources: Ken Russell s autobiography, Pete Townshends autobiography, The Story Of Tommy by Richard Barnes and Pete Townshend, Tommy Pocket Movie Guide by Jeremy Mark Robinson, the commentary track and inter- view extras on the Tommy DVD, The Who Live in Hyde Park 2017 concert and interview movie, and various other interviews with Townshend and Daltrey on TV and YouTube. I am also grateful to many, many people for a series of conversations about the movie that helped clarify my thoughts, and feedback on various drafts of this book, including Matt and Cort Psyops of the Cinema Psyops podcast, Johnny Mains, David Baume, Neil Snowdon, Jack Graham, James Murphy, Samaya Lune, Daeron Wilson, Sharon Power, and especially Daniel Harper and Lee Russell of the They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! podcast, without whom you would likely not be reading this at all.

And most of all, of course, the movie itself a movie I have watched many, many times, and continue to watch, with a powerful mixture of fascination, awe and horror. All that said, Russell s approach to filmic biography was simple: tell the story, and let the facts fall where they may or as another great British eccentric put it all of the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order . I intend to honor his approach throughout, by following his example.

This is not a history. This is my story.
