Song 183: “Pinball Wizard” by the Who, part 1: Always Playing Clean

Apologies for the delay in posting this episode — I had a chronic illness flare-up and a frankly awful January. With luck, part two of this story will be up before the end of February.

For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted (500songs.com/podcast/announcement-regarding-sc…), songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the first part of a multi-episode look at the song “Pinball Wizard” by The Who. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode.

Patreon backers also have an eighty-two-minute bonus episode available, on “Father and Son” by Cat Stevens (patreon.com/posts/149122557).

Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by editing, and will hopefully be doing so from now on. Check out Tilt’s irregular podcasts at podnose.com/jaffa-cakes-for-proust and sitcomclub.com
