37. Hadn't heard of Quadrophenia
Thu Mar 22, 2012, 01:23 PM
Mar 2012

But did a search and can't understand how I missed it. I was in college during the release time, and even played DJ from midnight to 7 in the mornings for a while. I loved the class. (They didn't want to let me have it at first, because I wasn't majoring in Journalism, but I prevailed.) One of the things I recall from the class was someone coming in and yelling at me not to play Jimmy Hendrix at 7 in the morning. Heavy Rock was only to be played at night. Just as he was winding down another DJ friend came in and exclaimed he LOVED how I had segued Judy Collins into Jimmy Hendrix. I liked to play sets or themes while I was on. I only recall that the tempo and musical instrumentation at the end of the Judy Collins song was similar to the opening of the Jimmy Hendrix piece. They must have had similar or opposing lyrics in some manner.

Anyhow, after looking up Quadrophenia I have called my local independent bookstore and ordered it.

By the way, have you seen "Festival Express?" It's a lot of live material from three concerts in Canada and the events on the train between the bands doing the tour in 1970.
