I just got done rewatching the 1975 film/musical "Tommy" starring Ann Margaret, Oliver Reed, The Who and every musician under the sun at that time.

Still amazing. Still weird. Still clever.

Tina Turner is, now and forever, the Acid Queen.

It's the story of how we elevate celebrities to the status of religious figures. How we get caught up in the cult of celebrity, and how we just grasp and hang on to almost anything in the search for answers, healing, and redemption.

Of all the tracks, this one has to be my favorite, and still very relevant.

"These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!

How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached...!"

Ann-Margret – Bye Bye Birdie and Baby Won’t You Please Come Home

Ann-Margaret is an all-time sultry beauty. 1964's Kitten with a Whip, while interesting but ultimately frustrating, definitely shows exactly how dangerously alluring she was and how cruel that beauty could be.

NOTE: This TV segment starts with an tongue-in-cheek feminist skit and then launches into the tunes. It’s a burner. :)

"Yet, it’s only now, at the improbable age of 81, that Ann-Margret is getting the chance to assert herself as a full-on rock ’n’ roll goddess — if a winking one. On Friday she will release 'Born to Be Wild,' the first album in the star’s career of 60-plus years to focus squarely on rock standards, all of which she handpicked..."
