...includes Pop Art. ("Why that looks like a picture of a soup can, Karen." "Well it is a picture of a soup can." "Oh.") But it is greater than Pop Art. Richard Lester is in the tradition. Bob Dylan is part of it; the Bob Dylan that Joan Baez called the Dada King. (Everybody Must Get Stoned.) It includes writers like Nabokov, (or, in another way) Donald Barthelme (Snow White, Come Back Dr. Caligari, Unnatural Practices, Unspeakable Acts), and several New York School Poets (Koch, Ashberry, O'Hara). It includes such Zen masters as Joshu, who was given to putting...
Married. Mimi Baez, 23, younger sister of Folk Queen Joan Baez, currently acting with "The Committee," a San Francisco theater group; and Mylan Melvin, 25, producer for Mercury Records; both for the second time (her first husband, Novelist Richard Farina, was killed in 1965); in Big Sur, Calif...
...three singles released along with their own last week, the Beatles make a modest start toward that goal. One, produced by Paul McCartney, introduces 18-year-old Mary Hopkin, a Welsh folk singer with a high, clear soprano reminiscent of Folk Singer Joan Baez. Singing Those Were the Days, a sort of Mediterranean-style café song, she gives a gently swaying, lyrical performance.

Then there is the 113-year-old Black Dyke Mills Band...

With testiness, she reports on the vulgarity of Las Vegas weddings. With sad humor, she tells of a visit to Joan Baez's Institute for the Study of Nonviolence. With annoyance, she relates the legends surrounding Howard Hughes. With nostalgia, she describes a visit with John Wayne: how, as a round-eyed California schoolgirl, she yearned for some young man to promise, as Wayne had promised a heroine in a movie...
...solution was to lampoon 17th and 18th century composers. Schickele avoided trying to spoof modern music, which he thinks is beyond satire; parodies of contemporary pieces "sound just like good contemporary pieces." Another solution was to write music for films (Crazy Quilt) and record al bums (Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie). An enemy of the idea that every piece has to be "a big deal," he composed deliberately casual chamber works for parties and coffeehouses. Mostly for his own amusement, he wrote ragtime piano pieces and rock 'n' roll songs...
