Metaphors, people, double entendres, surely nobody thinks this song is ONLY about some imaginary group of people in Tommy's head, with no ties whatsoever to their personal experience in the music industry. It can be both. It can be a concept album and be more than one concept. It's their experiences anthropomorphized into characters and settings. I mean this group defies labels and blanket summaries for a living. Sorry, I just know a few "metal snobs" who won't listen to things that aren't "black metal" or "death metal". No deviations, no explorations. They make me sad. Everyone's interpretation on this whole album are correct.
It's a must these days, colors are fading... fucking amen.
