    the best line is at the end when he finds a woman who makes him feel like a real good looking boy, that's amazing writing, thank you Townshend and thank you Daltry for singing it to perfection.

      Because of mean mother who doesn't show him the love that the boy needs. "son, you're you're an ugly boy" IOW son, you are a failure and no one will ever love you like they love Elvis"

      I feel the reason is that we are the child and the who are our guidance. At least that's how I feel. Without them knowing it, they practically raised me. They taught me so much about be beauty and love with some extra thrown in. I love all music but nothing so much as Pete , Roger, John and the ginger bread man

    "REAL GOOD LOOKING BOY is a song I wrote quite a few years ago about two young men who worry about their looks. One of them, based on me - hopes and believes he might look like his best friend who is a conventionally handsome fellow. (He is disavowed of this notion by his mother). The second, based on Roger - hopes and believes he will one day turn out to be like the young Elvis. (He, more happily, sees part of his dream come true). They both find love in later life."
    Pete Townshend

    the thing about this song is that every single verse literally describes my life in order. in ways it depresses me but i think of it as a way to shortly explain my life ^_^ but sometimes listening to the ending verse makes me think of her. sometimes makes me tear a little :(

    Their isn't one bad note in this song, sad yet uplifting, modern but at times very nostalgic, showing how relevant this group's sound past and present is. I've been fortunate enough to hear this song live and for me it has been and always will be not just about the music but that well Who's left? I'll tell you some other time. Long Live Rock Long Live The Who

    I love in the documentary how Roger's voice sounds weak as they're rehearsing, then when they record he turns the clock back 30 years and roars like the beast he is. I believe he suffers from a chronic disease called "Bad-ass-itic."

      everybody saw the tragic train wreck, no one was crazier, and loved as much (like everybody saw Brian Jones' death coming too, but he became pretty unbearable) ...Keith had a wacky lovable quality; drove them insane , but yeah this is definitely about Elvis (because we get the riff) but also Keith --but seriously genius.. Iove this band and have never seen.. . why am I so insistent--man, i waited months outside the 100 nClub n London's oxford St in the 70's just tryin' to get in or catch a glimpse...(:
