I heard this second hand from a guy who was supposedly in the room, if anybody can confirm or debunk, please do:
You know how Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries is blasting from the helicopter gunships as they approach their target in the movie Apocalypse Now? According to my guy, Coppola based the idea for the approach music from tales of Vietnam helicopter pilots blasting I Can See For Miles on battle approach, which came to be known as the gunner's song. Pretty chilling, if you put the lyrics in that context.
I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah So, during production supposedly screenwriter John Milius convinced Coppola to switch to Wagner to better mesh with Conrad's Heart of Darkness theme and punch up the visuals. Hard choice. |

You've got that right! I still hold up "Who's Next" as their best. I suppose that's because the album was my introduction to the band. But their early singles were unbelievable. Punker friends of mine used to spin "My Generation", "Substitute", "Magic Bus" and others on the same mixed tapes as The Clash and The Sex Pistols! These guys have definitely made their presence known from day one. Their appearance on "The Smothers Brothers" is one for the books, BTW.     |

Daltry could really sing at one time.
My favorite of 1968 and that year had a few other good ones.
This was my very first album for my very first stereo and it was a tough decision. |

I saw you holding lots of other guys, and now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial chills. . .  |

I actually have some stills of that in my screen saver, along with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies ... the scenes that are etched on yer brain if you possess a Y chromosome. |

The parodies of radio-style ads between the tracks of this album deserve air time of their own. Wonderful Radio London!
