Ever wondered how psychedelic rock opera and classic western novels can shed light on our societal understanding? Well, buckle up for an enthralling journey through music and literature! We deep dive into the intriguing world of The Who's 1969 album Tommy, its psychedelic 1975 movie adaptation, and the thought-provoking themes it explores. From Elton John's unforgettable Pinball Wizard to the satirical depiction of celebrity sponsorship, we break down the elements that make this movie an absolute classic.
But we don't stop there. We're also examining the captivating power of Broadway shows and films like La La Land and Hamilton, and their ability to command the attention of younger audiences. We pull back the curtain on the complex villain Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, delving into Victor Hugo's masterful exploration of government, religion, and society. Trust us, you'll want to revisit this movie with a mature perspective to fully appreciate its intricate storyline.
Last, but definitely not least, we pull out our cowboy hats and step into the dusty boots of characters from Larry McMurtry's classic western novel, Lonesome Dove. We discuss its controversial ending, the struggles of the characters, and McMurtry's discontent with its reception. Plus, we explore the legacy of Davey Crockett and the various ideals of manhood as portrayed by Fess Parker, John Wayne, and Billy Bob Thornton. Join us for this captivating discussion about the impact of music and literature on our perception of society!
