| The Who – Success Story Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think these lines are actually just a direct reference to Little Richard who abruptly left Rock and Roll at the height of his fame in the late 1950s to become a evangelical preacher. In the mid 1960s he left the church and had a comeback as a rock and roll celebrity. I think John was enjoying the irony that even the light of religion was no match for the light of the stage when you're a rock star. | |
