Success Story

This song is a cynical autobiography of The Who. It was written by John Entwistle and uses his trademark dark humor.

The line, "I'm your fairy manager" is an allusion to The Who's gay manager Kit Lambert, who they were in the process of suing.

The line, "I may go far if I smash my guitar" is a reference to how, in their early years, The Who would end their concerts with Pete Townshend smashing his guitar on stage.
