Song 183: “Pinball Wizard” by the Who, Part 2: “His Disciples Lead Him In”
Sunday, 22 March, 2026
Apologies for the delay in posting this episode — health issues have continued to affect me. They *seem* to be improving, but I should also mention here that some of the guitar demonstrations in this episode are not quite the same part as Pete Townshend is playing on the records, because my arthritis is affecting my hands. For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the second part of a two-episode look at the song “Pinball Wizard” by The Who. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode. Patreon backers also have an forty-eight-minute bonus episode available, on “Time of the Season” by the Zombies. Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by editing, and will hopefully be doing so from now on.
