“They’ve paid their money and they’ve walked in the door thinking they’re going to get a shortcut to God-realization. [Tommy] starts to make the rules hard. He says ‘you can’t drink, you can’t smoke dope, you can’t do this, you can’t do that, you’ve got to play pinball, you’ve got to do it my way; if you don’t do it my way, you’re out.’ And he starts to get so tough that they rebel. ‘We don’t want your religion. What we want is a shortcut away from all our problems.’ That’s what they really want.

— Pete Townshend

My favorite is Won't Get Fooled Again. I think that applies today, i.e. no letting the RINOs get away their nonsense.

I was a senior in college, 75-76. Often spent a fair amount of time at the Bulldog Tavern. A couple of weeks before our first weekend ROTC exercise, I was having a good roll at the pinball machines. So much so, that I was given the handle, "Pinball Wizard." lol
