Pinball Wizard
Ever since I was a young boy
I’ve played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain’t seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
I’ve played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain’t seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
- Pete Townshend, 1969
I love pinball. Those today who are too young to appreciate how great playing a real pinball machine was, don’t know what they are missing. The lights, sounds, and the ball bouncing around. The flippers sending the ball back into play. Shoving the machine in all the excitement or trying to keep the ball from going out of play or trying to help it score more points…..watch out!!!!! TILT!!!
Nice photo!
Very nice! Of course I’ll be humming that song for the rest of the day now.
