The Who's Tommy is possibly the greatest rock movie of all time. Tina Turner's performance as The Acid Queen is one of many startling performances by the star studded cast - including members of The Who themselves. Memories of Ann-Margaret rolling around in baked beans and chocolate spewing out of her TV, Elton John performing "Pinball Wizard" while wearing platform boots a few feet high and Keith Moon as the drunken dodgy Uncle, all come to mind. But it's Tina Turner's Acid Queen that was the show stealer ... but only just. I think it must be time to revisit the Tommy movie.
