Bell Boy

I had a bad day today and I find it sort of fitting that Bell Boy is today’s Quadrophenia song of the day. Alright, I am going to kept this short. Jimmy is feeling  pretty good, and takes a walk past the hotel that the Mods had smashed the last time he was in Brighton and he someone that he thinks that he knows.

Once Jimmy gets closer he realizes that the person that he recognizes is the ace face. If you remember from our Mod lingo lesson from yesterday that ace face what the person who set the trends even for the trend setters. Well, he was working as a bell boy at that same hotel that the Mod had wrecked. The fact that the ace face in fact a bell boy seems to ruin Jimmy’s day. For Jimmy the ace face needed to be something more than a bell boy that is how high of regard that Jimmy held the ace face. Seeing the ace face in a menial job makes Jimmy lose his faith in being a Mod. This is point where Jimmy loses faith in everything, and that is how his bad day begins.

If you remember Jimmy has four personalities, really how could you forget, and Bell Boy is another. This song brings forth the lunatic, and the Who member that embodies that craziness is, of course, Keith Moon. To make the lunatic really come to life Keith Moon even voiced the Bell Boy, which is just perfect.

Alright Who lovers I really want to write more, but am not really feeling like it due to the bad day thing. Really you are lucky that I wrote anything at all. For now enjoy Bell Boy.
