It's a parable to illustrate that you can campaign, take to the streets to protest, and vote for different parties... but nothing ever changes. Fifty years on they've been proved right. "A change, it had to come, we knew it all along." ~ Optimism on the streets whilst they protest in expectation of an improved situation... but then the realisation hits: "And the world looks just the same, and history ain't changed." ~ and then they reiterate: "There's nothing in the street, looks any different to me." "And the parting on the left, Is now a parting on the right. And the beards have all grown longer overnight."~ In fact the only things that ever change are fashion and hairstyles. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." ~ Parties and politicians come and go, but, by and large, nothing ever changes.

But they're also talking about somebody like Trump, with his BS and his now preaching straight out tyranny and being a dictator in what used to be the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. They're attacking women now - the so-called "weaker sex." Babycakes, they ain't seen nothing yet. Remember that really old verse: HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED. Read those lyrics again and again and again and then start paying attention to the news - but not on Fox or any of the other right-wing outlets. Focus on reality. And if you can't still figure out what those lyrics mean, then you're one of them. But that won't save you, because you don't have the right colored skin.

Growing up, I never was a big Beatles fan, but was ape for the Rolling Stones.

You (almost completely) misunderstood this song. This is a UK band, they were singing vaguely about politics (Not US politics). They were not referencing Vietnam at all, and when they sing about "constitution" they did NOT mean the constitution of the united states. The song was not anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", although they did stress that any revolution could be unpredictable.

i second what Jan says. I'd also love to say that this band exploded onto the London "Mod" scene in the mid 1960's and had a career with new music being released and charting up till the mid 1880's! They have continued to tour although they are down to two elderly original core members. They were known for crazy live shows just usings their intruments, their temperments (they often fought and clashed but never really broke up) and the vibe they'd create - destroying instruments, knocking heads with mikes (yeah it did happen!!) - stealing the spotlight VERY often from more well known artists they'd be opening for in England and America! In 1968 they played the great west coast festival, Monteray Pop, and knew they were sharing a stage that night with Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix (!!!!)....it was quite a three way battle. The very next year they had a explosive night at the first Woodstock Fest' and blew the crowd away again playing a evening slot against hard rock acts like Ten Years After and funk revolutionaries Sly and the Family Stone. In the early 1970's, and I cannot recommend this newly discovered filmed clip of them, they were part of a feature length filmed concert event held by their "friends", The Rolling Stones. Also on the bill were members of the Beatles and Joe Cocker, but it was the Who, with their new song, the first rock opera they ever wrote, "A QUICK ONE, WHILE HE'S AWAY", that stole the show, the crowd went wild during the two recorded versions put on film that night, so much so that the Rolling Stones, dumped the entire film for almost 40+ years, only recently restored, the video is a MUST WATCH for You! I hope You enjoy and read this!

You watched 4 of the most iconic figures in rock music history that make up one of my top 3 bands! Roger Daltrey - front man and harmonica player, the great Pete Townsend on guitar, who was the originator of the windmill arm swing, he was also the songwriter and sometimes lead vocalist. John Entwistle - Bass player extraordinare, who played the bass like a lead guitar very loud, and the one of a kind, never to be equaled in my opinion, natural drummer, the insanely charismatic wild man and talented Keith Moon, otherwise known as The Who!! It doesn't get much better if you love hard hitting in-your-face rock music, played extremely well and extremely loud!! Pete Townsend's songwriting skills were exceptional and they were all very talented individuals on their instruments and vocals! They killed it at Woodstock, and many other legendary performances! One of my favorites was actually in their later years when they performed for the first responders in the Concert for New York right after 9/11, and had the fireman and police officers on their feets dancing and singing! It was awesome! By then, Keith Moon had sadly passed away, and Zack Starkey, Ringo Starr's son, was their drummer. He did as good a job as could be done to replace Keith Moon. Ringo and Keith had been friends for years, and I'm sure growing up, Zack witnessed the greatness of Keith's drumming many times. Thank you for this reaction! I enjoyed it! Their catalog is too extensive to list, but I would ask for you to react to my favorite "Love Reign O'er Me" a masterpiece. 🔥💃🎵🎸

The song’s brilliant lyrics are about a revolution (probably fits most so-called revolutions) that promised better life under a new constitution but which, in the end, changed nothing. They sing “a change, it had to come, we knew it all along, and “we were liberated from the fold, that's all, and the world looks just the same”… Realizing that they fell for the false promise of change they sing, “We don't get fooled again, no, no” and finally they end with “meet the new boss same as the old boss”.

Roger Daltry is an amazing performer, and in addition to being a genius songwriter, Pete Townshend is a phenomenal guitarist and showman. I think the real statement in this song is that despite all the revolutions, nothing really ever changes. The people in power may be different, but for the regular people, everything's just the same, if not worse. I love seeing your reactions to songs I've listened to for most of my life; it's like hearing them myself for the first time all over again! Please react to my favorite of theirs, "Baba O'Reilly" - you will love it!

I'm sure someone else has mentioned it, but I will too.. The Who did a rock musical called "Tommy" that is just iconic! Roger Daltry played the lead character, a deaf, dumb and blind kid who was a "Pinball Wizard", Keith Moon perfectly played the deranged Uncle Ernie, Tina Turner was outstanding as the "Acid Queen", it also starred Elton John and Eric Clapton. The music is outstanding! The musical is legendary and Roger Daltrey killed it in the lead role!!

Keith Moon and John Entwhistle were genius’ and their contrasting performances were so mesmerizing.

Roger Daltry the lead singer starred as a deaf, dumb, and blind kid in the rock opera film 'Tommy' with Elton John, Oliver Reed, Ann Margaret and Tina Turner as the Acid Queen in 1975. The Who made the song 'Pinball Wizard' which Elton John sang in the movie. It's worth a watch. Especially if you played pinball as a kid. 😅

The rthym section is legendary. Probably the best lead rthym section ever. The lead guitar played the rthym.

I saw the band when 16 in Glasgow in 1971 when this song came out - 5,000 cinema venue cost of most expensive seats £1. Mind you we never used the seats other than to stand on. Relived the excitement through your reaction. Seen them several times since but feel the best work was mid-60s to mid-seventies. Not all as raucous as this - check out Tommy and Quadrophenia albums albums. Keep up the good work

This song has the best primal scream in a rock and roll song of all time….and Pete Townshend’s slide on his knees is epic during that scream! Such a great band. More The Who, please. The 1960’s really bonded the US and the UK in such a good way, through our music and art….but it bonded our public policy and our politics, which had already began years earlier. And if you do the math, the US and the UK, together, own over 50% of the world’s assets. So if there ever is a one world order, guess who would own it? It’s probably why our politicians always refer to our relationship with the UK as “a special relationship!”

You have one of the best channels on KZbin. I saw the Who live. Super group, all their songs were big hits. Keep it up!

The Who are one of the greatest and most iconic British rock bands who started out in the 60's along with the Beatles, Stones and Kinks. This is one of the greatest rock anthems with a timeless message - meet the new boss, same as the old boss! All four original members excel individually and together make a really special band. Pete Thownsend (lead guitar) is the main writer and a creative genius. I would love to see you react to more Who - Early stuff - 'my generation', 'the kids are alright', 'Substitute', later stuff - 'Behind blue eyes', 'Baba O'reilly', '5:15', 'love reign o'er me', 'Who are you' (used in CSI theme tune). Cheers

Laserlight shows fully emerged in the early 1970s and became a form of psychedelic entertainment, usually accompanied by a live musical performance on stage or pre-recorded music. The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Electric Light Orchestra were among the first high-profile rock acts to use lasers in their concert shows in the mid-1970s.

I'm loving your reaction to some of the best music of my era. This song was on the Who's Next album which came out in 1971. I saw them in concert at the Denver coliseum on December 4th of '71. You should listen to the entire album as it is one of the best all-time albums. A few of their songs off this album are currently being used for commercials.
