Do you think the last song in the Rock Opera Tommy "listening to you"? is about Jesus/God?

Watching the film again on TV it does seem the film is a commentary on religion with Roger Daltrey of the who acting out as a fake Christ like saviour who at the end is turned on by his followers. The final song with the words "following you I climb the mountains" and " on you I see the glory" and "from you I get the story" Sounds very Christian.

Tommy was written by Peter Townsend about Avatar Meher Baba who was the last incarnation of Christ who died in 1969. This is a link to one of Baba's books:

I love that song!! I sing it to Jesus alot!! (It's actually a gospel song from me to Him.)|||I doubt it.|||Tommy also realizes that all the adoration is fake and nothing but Hollywood. You did watch the end right? It is totally the opposite and a slam to religion.|||Um. The whole movie is about how easily duped people are into devoting their entire lives to something blindly, based on word of mouth and marketing strategies, and their willingness to turn on it in an instant. Its very anti-religious. Its calling your people out.|||I never think that, but now I think I shall switch from "I megaphone" to Tommy on my walkman.

Reminds me of Apollo, and my Will....

Tommy finds god WITHIN, sweets.

[Hope you're happy, as Phoenix Mmmm pi is now going "Tommy again."]|||It's an interesting take on the movie, but that was more the doing of Ken Russell, the director. Pete Townshend, who wrote the music and the lyrics, was not a Christian, but a follower of the Asian guru Meher Baba.
