...several bands, and their names reflect the changing times in pop music. The Dukes, a Fantasy-Aristocrat Blue Tuxedo Ooh-Wah-Wah Teenage Rhythm and Blues Band; the Boss Dudes, a spiffy Tuff-guy Band; the Hard Times, an L.A. Nice Long Hair Band; the End, a Top-40 Blare-Rock Band; the Church Bizarre, a Funky Blues-Rock Bad-Ass Band; and the Bead Game, a Beautiful People Dope All You Need Is Love Stoned Hippier Than Thou Band. I have been addicted to rock longer than I care to remember...

As always, the parade was led by the Greek team and wound up by the host nation. The formation was familiar, but this year its colors were uncommonly bright. The Mexicans were dazzling in white. There were green-gowned Nigerians and Australian girls...
...Teotihuacan, 40 minutes outside the city, to see the son et lumiére spectacle drops the spectator nearly 2,000 years back in time. A bit off the beaten track for tourists is the Plaza Garibaldi, where wandering mariachi bands play, adding the vibrancy of guitars to the blare of trumpets...
