...drop acid much anymore; electronic-video gamesters have crowded out pinball wizards; a baby conceived, like the title character, at the start of World War II is officially a pre- boomer and apt to be a grandparent today. So despite its billing as "new," Tommy becomes that oddest of entities, a period rock musical -- playing to a nonperiod audience. Unimaginably to kids who boogied in the aisles at concert versions way back when, the Broadway crowd cheers while sitting sedately, and there isn't a whiff of controlled substances in the house...

One of the "oddest episodes," she said, involved an exchange in Thomas' office when he reached for a can of Coke and asked, "Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?" (Later, Hatch accused Hill of stealing the story from a work of fiction. Holding aloft a copy of the book The Exorcist, Hatch quoted, "There seems to be an alien pubic hair in my gin.") On other occasions, Hill maintained, "he referred to the size of his own penis as being larger than normal" and spoke...
