    I love the fact that it's the antecedent to Sparks/Overture.

    Rael1/Rael2 were essentially precursors to Tommy. Father gets killed in war with a newly born child back home. I thought I read that Townshend wanted to flesh out that idea on The Who Sell Out, but couldn't. And that idea is what he formed Tommy with. I could be completely off on that, as it was a good while back since I read that. Assuming I did read it and didn't make it up..........

    Terrible song - should the title be: Drooel?

    Yep, Townshend plagiarized his own song for Sparks/Underture. Not a bad choice to rip off though.
