quadrophenia

a rock opera by the who. it tells the story of a mod named jimmy and all of his misadventures. like other mods, jimmy kept his hair short, wore nice clothes, rode a motor scooter, and took uppers.

jimmy struggles with his job and homelife. he sees the who in concert, later takes a train back to the site of a mod vs. rocker brawl, and discovers a shocking secret about one of his mod idols.

jimmy has four different personalities, hence quadrophenia. each is based on a member of the who. he is a tough guy and a helpless dancer (singer roger daltrey), a romantic (b-ssist john entwistle), a bl–dy lunatic (drummer keith moon), and a beggar and a hypocrit (guitarist pete townshend).

the punk and the g-dfather is an interesting track. at the beginning, townshend can be described as the edgy punk. however at the end, he seems to -ssume the role of the g-dfather.
can you see the real me?

i’m the guy in the sky, flying high, flashing eyes, no surprise i tell lies…

you stop dancing.

nothing is better by the sea and the sand.

when i’m pilled you don’t notice him. he only comes out when i drink my gin.

love, reign o’er me!

quadrophenia: a way of life
modern times are as vibrant, puzzling and p-ssionate worldwide as they were in the 1960’s and early 70’s. society, demographics and economics are in a state of upheaval. for kids and their parents everywhere, this is the same feeling that was captured in the original quadrophenia alb-m and film. it was a contradictory state of confusion and finding oneself through what the who categorized as the four elements/traits of a term they invented, “quadrophenia”: the tough guy, the romanic, the hypocrite and the beggar. today it also becomes an environmentally conscious clothing/lifestyle brand by alex mardikian based around universal truths: fashion, music, transportation, ident-ty. it’s clothing and accessories that make a statement, that revisit or flourish in the feelings of youth, that wear well and look hip, and that appeal to all demographics. www.quadrophenia.com
