Song 183: “Pinball Wizard” by the Who, part 1: Always Playing Clean
Thursday, 12 February, 2026
Apologies for the delay in posting this episode — I had a chronic illness flare-up and a frankly awful January. With luck, part two of this story will be up before the end of February. 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 first part of a multi-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 eighty-two-minute bonus episode available, on “Father and Son” by Cat Stevens. Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by editing, and will hopefully be doing so from now on.
