Fiddle Riddle

         In the background of the Underture you will hear Moon's use of Symphonic Kettle Drums.  Generally, kettle drums are used to produce the sounds of rolling Thunder, itself a signal of Cozmic or Divine Turbulance.  As critical analysts we MUST turn to the end of the Opera in order to understand Uncle Ernie as an ENLIGHTEND Disciple of Tommy.  The Underture is, by my measure, the Music of Confrontation, nothing less than Jacob's Combat with God's Angel.  We are hearing the Battle of Wills, the One where Divinity is masked and cloaked by Wicked-Ness.  Moral Perversion meets Enlightend Purity.  The Underture advances rigorous Movement, the Wrestling, with the employment of said kettle drums and the whisps of a Melody that MAY be considered the eventual narrative/theme of Victory Over Evil.  Indeed, by the time we get to the 13th "Fiddle" there has been a NU Meaning of "Fiddle".  It is Tommy who now `plays` that 'Fiddle' NOT the once-Evil Uncle Ernie.
