...dream of American suburbia, with one woman bearing off two cases of maraschino cherries on her head and another a case of Wrigley's Spearmint gum. Out in the South China Sea, millions of dollars worth of helicopters profligately tossed overboard from U.S. rescue ships, discarded like pop-top beer cans to make room for later-arriving choppers...
...Cambridge Common on a sunny afternoon and see a band that was going places--JLW is the closest thing to a Boston group that you always feel you might be seeing in intimate circumstances for the last time. But sometimes I think that because they're basically a beer, bar and good-time band, fit for small places and close rapport, they'll stay in that closed circle--in which case Cambridge is still like Berkeley, where you can check into a club and see Garcia and Saunders or Asleep at the Wheel on a Tuesday night with nothing...

...more fantastical stewpot of sights for bored eyes. The tornado that sweeps Dorothy to Oz is a dancer whose headgear spouts 100 yards of black silk swirling to the rafters. The Yellow Brick Road is a quartet of lanky dudes in brilliant yellow brick-patterned tailcoats. An armor of beer cans and garbage cans makes the Tin Man. Originally scheduled not only to direct and costume the show but to do the choreography and play the Wiz as well, Holder had canceled out when he encountered "difficulties" with the management. The real problem, he says, was that "they began...
