| You spoke about things they couldn’t see and so they laughed. Yet to row up the dark river against the current, to take the unknown road blindly, stubbornly, and to search for words rooted like the knotted olive tree- let them laugh. And to yearn for the other world to inhabit today’s suffocating loneliness, this ravaged present- let them be. –George Seferis |

| If you’re extraordinary, you don’t have to be ordinary. But it isn’t easy. You have to work, learn, learn some more, and be the best at what you do-whatever it happens to be. And you have to keep that thick skin, because all the people who sold out and played the game are going to resent you for succeeding on your own terms.

Popular Culture (Music) 20110408: The Who. Happy Jack
Happy Jack was the second album released by The Who and their second studio album. It was released in the UK with the title A Quick One. That was a little suggestive for Decca Records, the US label and the single Happy Jack has charted in the US, so that title was used. The song lineup is a little different betwixt the two records as well, Happy Jack not being on the UK version.
Released in the UK 19661209, it was delayed in the US for almost six months, finally being released in 196705 (I am not sure of the exact day). This record was truly transformative, and is one of my personal favorites. It was this album where Townshend really showed that the was a writing force with which to be reckoned, and he took some risks that he would not have taken previously for a large reason: the brilliant Kit Lambert had replaced the hack Shel Talmy as the producer of the band.
