I consider the 3.5 minutes of this song to be a better treatment of this idea than the entirety of Tommy. This might be a minority opinion but it is mine.
So where are the spiders?
Yeah, when the fly tried to break his balls? (or whatever he is saying there if that’s wrong.)
Whoops.

May I say that I have no idea what this song is about. I am not a good listener…
I’m talking about the broad concept of star as Christ figure, whether pinball star or rock star.

Yeah, wrong.
I agree, Tommy was meh.
Some may like their narratives lean and tight, some bloated and plodding. Not my job to tell you how to live your life.
I can say that I listen to R&F of Ziggy Stardust frequently, don’t care if I ever hear any song from Tommy again in my life.
He was the mass, with God-given ass?
I think he was the “nazz”, probably the same term that Todd Rundgren named his group after but I don’t know what that means.
