Notes and Quotes: "I'm a Boy"

Atkins: Townshend later stated that "I'm a Boy" was in fact a segment from an "opera" title Quads, which linked together several pop songs with characters and narrative development. (72)

Townshend: "I'm a Boy" came from a musical I'd written about the year 2000 called Quads... when you can order the sex of your children, and this woman orders four girls and one of them turns out to be a boy, so she pretends it's a girl... horrifying! (Neill & Kent, 74)
