Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Athena (page 1/1) ------ performed by The Who Alice Cooper Was Right | Reviewer: Leo Strauss | 10/4/2007 Have the demo "Theresa" and it all makes much more sense in his frustration of a failed romance with her -- and the beats are better. This should have been produced by Chris Thomas for one of Pete's solo albums. When Pete introduced Pink Floyd for some Brit honors show on VH1 a couple of months ago he also referred to this failed romance with Theresa. Great song for singing in the shower | Reviewer: Leip | 9/8/2007 I love this tune...been listening to it in the shower for years and I really have the lyrics and syllables down pat. response to theresa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/8/2007 Well of course it's true, everything Alice Cooper says is 100% true fact. Also, I love this song. um... is it just me, or is everyone crazy? | Reviewer: Bob | 7/24/2007 This is one of the WORST Who songs ever. I don't know what people are saying about poetic twisty syllables. But it's cheesy, and meaningless, and incredibly superficial. To me it betrays a lack of emotion, as opposed to a depth of it. I was surprised Pete even wrote that - figured maybe it was Roger Daltry trying his hand at lyric writing. Athena = Theresa? | Reviewer: Theresa | 4/9/2007 I was listening to the Alice Cooper radio show tonight on my way home from work. AC said Pete wrote this song for Theresa Russell and that it was called Theresa, because Pete was smitten with her. AC said Pete changed the name because Theresa was not interested in Pete. I don't know if this is true, but thought i would pass it along. best of the Who | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/10/2007 Athena is the best song the Who ever did! Great lyrics and music - just a fun fun song. Pete's Poetry | Reviewer: mimo parkins | 2/18/2007 Athena, is in my judgement, a greatly underappreciated song. Even though it had some commercial success, most Who fans wrote it off as nothing more than a silly love song. In fact it is some of Townsend's most poetic lyrics with great rhymes and twisty sylables. Listen again Who fans and you might find new appreciation for this great song.
