I am so sad about this.
Someone posted a bunch of his movies on YouTube. I watched The Devils on Thanksgiving.

Sure, he went against Townshend's suggestions -- casting Elton John instead of Stevie Wonder, and Eric Clapton instead of Charles Mingus -- but Tommy was so perfectly and wonderfully batshit. RIP.

casting Elton John instead of Stevie Wonder,
lol @ Stevie Wonder complaining about being beaten by a deaf dumb and blind kid

such a monumentally stupid casting suggestion. Russell = 1, Townsend = 0

xp Was that what happened? I thought Wonder was up for it, but Russell nixed him for some reason.

No, Elton was the reigning champ, hence the crowd booing him/carrying him out at the end.
