Even evangelists have adapted to the new beat. A group of Episcopal students from the University of Maryland, armed with electric guitars and bongo drums, have been celebrating with great success a big-beat "rejoice" Mass at several churches in the Washington-Maryland area, including a service that President Johnson and Lady Bird attended. In London, the Salvation Army has formed a rock 'n' roll street-corner group called the Joy Strings, whose repertory includes such numbers as We're Going to Set the World A-Swinging. "Our square approach," explains Drummer Captain Joy Webb, "wasn't getting us anywhere...

At night, torches blaze in the breeze, couples congregate at thatched-roof tables, while brown-skinned babes in tighter-than-skin pants gyrate to the hot blasts and calypso beat of bongo drums and steel bands.

Ghoulardi plays bongo drums on human skulls, and he hits fungos with shrunken heads; but mainly he just plays the nut clown. He shows ads that say, "Drink Ghoulaid," and he says he likes to read The Tragedy of Ghoulius Caesar. From college he graduated magna ghoul laude. Perhaps because he sees himself as another Ghoul Brynner, he has a ghoult complex. His favorite ballplayer is Ghoul Hodges. This goes on until adults can justifiably despair of teendom as a world they never made...
