Baba O'Riley is named for Townshend's teacher, Meher Baba, and for
Terry Riley, whose musical style the song emulates (note the 
background droning sequencer riff).  In the album "The Kids Are
Alright", the main guitar riff in the song is credited as "owing its
pedigree to Sweet Jane".  (F-----C-Bb-------...)   The violin solo
on the song was produced by Keith Moon, but in live performance it
was replaced by Roger Daltrey on harmonica.
