First time I saw this was in October when I heard the Laci Kaye Booth song "Luck of the Draw." The teasing shorts, especially the live one, looked good. Then the "official visualizer" was dropped. Awful. At first I thought it meant the video was an AI "visualizer" of the song.

I don't agree, but I will admit:
Pauline Kael notes this was Sam Peckinpah's entire career: taking a job for hire and then turning in to a (successful or not) personally expressive work of art.
Coppola's great period begins with a work for hire.

Hot Chocolate was right--they weren't a "disco" act. They were a band that performed seriously danceable hot soul music.

My uncle had Down's syndrome. In 1970, the medical term was "mentally retarded." But calling someone a "retard" was verboten. And seeing this come back---and being used by our highest government officials---is one of the more crass things demonstrated by our "classy" government today.

The comments about the kids are pretty ugly. Considering that Great Britain has had a pretty free commonwealth immigration policy since the end of World War II, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise.

The same paperback edition of "Mystery Train" you've used here was the fourth. The chapters on Elvis and Sly Stone are especially magnificent in my opinion. 3/3

The next seismic change came with the 1981 publication of Ellen Willis' "Beginning to See the Light," which, while not completely concerned with music, was astonishing in its views of music inspiring Reichian pleasure and revolution. 2/3

The first was "Rock From the Beginning" (also known as "Awopbopalubop") by Nik Cohn. The second was "The Beatles Book" a collection of essays from early 1968. Discovered both of these in my high school library in 1973-1974. 1/3
