I was 15 years old (yes, I'm that old) when this movie came out. Was always a big fan of The Who and music like this will never leave my life. I'm glad I had the privilege of seeing them live in concern just once. Over the years and in my opinion, I have witnessed true, talented artists and music decline but I'm forever grateful that I grew up during a time when music was actually great.

I listened to this in the late 90s while doing 3 1/2 years really got me motivated to get my positive head on and get my life sorted

One of the best rock-operas ever written and performed. McVicar is my personal favorite album of all time, Just so good. Roger out-did himself for our benefit, Thank you 35 years later Roger. I love you. Thank you for this and everything with the WHO. You defined my childhood and adulthood with your music. Again, thank you.

when i was in HMP Wayland my cell mate would play this song and the other Mcvicar songs over and over and over again on his cassette. That film and those songs effected the way he did his time, he thought he was in the film, he was crazy, fighting all the time, we ended up on the punishment block together and we got shipped off together to HMP Blundestone, aka Plunge erstone. On the prison van he got the guard to play the cassette, i remember rollimg over the flat East Anglian landscape with these songs lol he made my time in jail very surreal. Life immitating art. Mad
