OF REVOLUTION!
I love this movie just for this part.
That awkward moment when you realize that your son in law is a vampire.
And you’re like…

While watching Tommy with a friend, she always likes to point out how disturbingly easy it is for someone to carry Roger up stairs like this….then she turns to me slowly and starts laughing.
“Rare pictures of Roger Daltrey drowning (above and right). After falling through the mirror into the water, Tommy is seen in slow motion underwater. This, another tricky shot, was filmed with the camera behind the observation window of a swimming pool. In order to sink lower and rise slower, Roger Daltrey emptied his lungs of air before jumping in. On this occasion he swallowed a lot of water and was struggling to get out. The cameras were still running until it occured to everyone that he was in trouble. Three people jumped in and pulled him out. In Hollywood days, an accident like this would have been exploited for publicity, but the many ‘mishaps’ that occured while filming ‘Tommy’ were deliberately kept out of the press.”

ONE MORE THING
Promise. Which is more attractive of Roger’s weird hair.
The dip
or the straight hair he has in Lisztomania.
They’re both the same, but he doesn’t look as bad.
This is the reason why I’m glad I made a tumblr.
