The story goes that in late 1968 – or early 1969 – when The Who played a preview of their new album in the presence of legendary critic Nik Cohn, and his reaction to the performance was middling. ‘Pinball Wizard’ is the perfect example of his dichotomous, head in the clouds yet finger to pulse approach. As a songwriter, Townshend may well have had both feet planted firmly in the realm of spiritualism, but he was still peaking over into the mainstream and never lost sight of what makes a hit. However, what singled Pete Townshend out as a unique creative force is that such a spiritual and deep synopsis could be transmuted into something so fun and palatable. They make him see and hear and speak so he becomes a saint who everybody flocks to.” The offshoot of this was that Tommy as, a character, experienced the world through the vibrations of a pinball machine, which would figuratively be reflected in the vibrations of music.Īs far as a creative impetus for rock music goes, that is about as nebulous as it gets.
The coming together of these are what make him aware.

Web3 has the potential to bring people from across the world together like never before and I’m excited for the opportunities to connect with my fans in a vibrant and growing community.” Said John: “Whilst I’m no metaverse expert (!) I wanted to make sure that my first NFT was something true to me, and collaborating with LGBTQ+ artist Voxel Bunny and Jadu on something so unique which benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation for Pride month, was the perfect opportunity. “And knowing that my creation will play a role in helping to end the AIDS epidemic for the most vulnerable individuals and communities means the world to me.” “As a fellow LGTBQ+ artist, it’s hard to put into words the pride I feel paying tribute to Elton John and his legacy, which continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of so many,” Bunny said. It also features John’s iconic star glasses, piano keys and the actual musical notes from “Rocket Man.” It was designed by Voxel Bunny, who built Jadu’s jetpacks and hoverboards, with the design referencing a keyboard pinball machine, paying homage to John’s “Pinball Wizard” video from 1975.
Produced by Jadu, an “augmented reality platform that puts web3 avatars at the center of gameplay mapped to the real world,” the Rocket Man Hoverboard is said to be the rarest of the 6,666 items within the Jadu Hoverboard collection. Britney Spears and Elton John Release "Hold Me Closer" Duet
