Jimmy- it must’ve been fantastic growing up in that period. You’re a part of history. I’ve always wanted to be a part of some significant cultural zeitgeist- somehow I never could. Or maybe I am just not aware of it.

Thanks for the comment.

I grew up in Orange County during the 80s mod/2tone revival, my brother was a hard core mod, and this film had a HUGE influence. He and his friends wore the VHS copy out. I thought it was sort of silly at the time but I’ve grown to appreciate it over the years. It has a rough hewn charm and energy.

This film was pretty decent, but the album is what made me want to play rock ‘n roll. Townshend once said that Quadrophenia was the last great album that the Who wrote.

the old british cultures are dead now but i know a few people who’ve seen some mods about.
Hippy’s and rockers are totally disgraced but i think its much harder for mods. None of my generation hav even heard about them for god’s sake!
To revive all these sub-cultures something big has to happen. Something eye-opening. The who nailed all my teenage feelings in there songs. Ace!

Jimmy survives,he is shown walking away from the cliff top at the start of the film.Maybe the scoooter is the symbolic rejection of his way of life?.
