I remember the first time I heard “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, 1980. Keith Moon had been dead for two years but I didn’t know. I had no idea who Keith Moon was. No idea who the band was that sang this classic rock anthem. In 1980, I was just old enough to appreciate rock, classic rock. I was tired of The Bay City Rollers (give me a break, I was a kid). It was time to graduate; not in a cognisant way but in a magically natural moment that grips you, no matter what age you are.

All of us experience these feelings of amazement and wonderment to something new… and never forget that moment and time. Music is that powerful. More powerful than any book or movie, music can touch your soul, stop you in your tracks with its sound and lyrics and bring back memories that, once forgotten, can touch a persons heart with joy or sadness. This is what music does to us… and more than any musician(s), The Who affect and reach me like no other band.

In the 1960’s, new rock bands were born, it seemed, every week. This was an era of unparalleled creativity in music. Whether an act was European or North American, the output of music was so fresh and unique in its sound that it sent a shock wave to a new generation of kids craving more than the generic brand of pop music. This was the golden era of contemporary music. Of course, The Beatles led the way in musical output, quality and popularity. The Rolling Stones were always second to the “Mop Tops” as far as adulation and music sales go.With their rebellious image, they were the polar opposites of The Beatles in terms of image and sound.

The perfect contrast to the squeaky clean Beatles. The competition between The Beatle and Stones is legendary, with the two bands trying to outdo each other with the next #1 hit. The Who never had a chance to eclipse The Beatles or Stones whether it be number 1 hits or album sales. They were the perennial number three rated band in the British Invasion era… there were only so many sales to go around. It didn’t matter. The Who never competed with anyone. The only battles they fought were amongst themselves.

Their drive to create music that mattered to them was stronger than any critics opinion or public adulation. Their irreverence and disregard of public approval is what endeared me to The Who. What mattered to The Who was something more tangible than accolades, something deeper than sales and gold records. The only way to truly reach the public in a spiritual way; to be the most entertaining and loudest live band in the world!

Music videos give a face, a look, a visual appeal to what is otherwise an entirely auditory experience. Music videos started probably as long ago as the television itself, and they have gone a long way in popularizing artists. In fact, it is quite interesting that television channels should actually be devoted something that is only supposed to be listened to, not seen. But the popularity and Television Rating Points of these channels tell us that music videos can make or break a song or artist.

Music videos are popular because they go a long way in reinforcing an ‘image’ of a song or the artist. It is more experiential than listening; hence people tend to relate to it much faster. In the same way that watching a movie is more ‘real’ than reading a book about the same story. A music video also gives a new dimension to the meaning or purpose of a song. A song is an expression of a thought or an emotion. Although lyrics are more than enough to help one connect to this thought, the video defines this purpose more narrowly. The purpose of the song becomes much clearer to most listeners through the video. In fact, you might have observed that once you have seen the video of a song, you will recall it every time you hear the song.

Is creating a music video much different from creating a movie or ad? Well yes, it is. When you see a video, the reason it makes sense and appeals to you is because it reinforces what the song says when the song says it. A movie is a final product; everything else is ancillary - dialogues, set, lights, et al. In the case of a music video, the video is ancillary. It is to be made to fit onto the song after a song is completed; it is not made with the song. This is difficult since the video has to now be a perfect match with the song, its lyrics, tempo and its meaning. And along with all this, the video must also convey a story in most cases - All this within a span of not more than 3 minutes.
