just finished listening to quadrophenia for the first time OMG ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS I HAVE EVER HEARD. nearly every song is great, its creative, and its entertaining. love the puns throughout the album (can you sea/see the real me; love rain/reign o'er me; those are the ones i found). i think i kinda understand the ocean references now: the character, Jimmy, guess, has kind of an ebbing and changing personality, but what he really wants to be (and i guess achieves at the end) is a stable rock, who can endure the pounding sea and rain (making this up off the top of my head so stick with me). about the song, i guess tryin to redo the emotion they put into Listening to You, and did a pretty good job of it too. i have a Quadrophenia shirt, but i wore it a lot before i downloaded this album so now i feel really bad about myself. looks like im goin to have to see the movie now! ;-)
