This is song is in fact central to the plot of "Tommy." In the album and in the movie, "Hawker" is portrayed two ways but the song conveys the same message: that we search for healing in the wrong places. In the album, Tommy's mother goes to a pimp who offers healing powers of a hooker, and the movie she takes him to a religious cult dedicated to Monroe. Message: Deaf, dumb and blind Tommy is at a better place than anyone else. Message of Tommy: Materialism = bad, Nirvana = good. Definition of Nirvana: (in Buddhism) a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism. And the base-line is pretty sick |
