...things we later grew to love for their own sake. But their version was always something special. There was a quality of ironic distance or dual consciousness in their version. It was a sense of the Beatles playing wholeheartedly at the being black, at being Chuck Berry, at being Buck Owens, but remaining the Beatles at the same time...
...Often they are downright fanatical. Even in such relatively tranquil and liberal states as Connecticut, Kansas and Washington, Wallace support is abundantly in evidence. "We have no racial issues," says Washington's Republican Representative Catherine May. "Who are these people in a liberal state who will spend a buck for a Wallace sticker...
SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO (Columbia). Country-western purists are likely to yell "fake" at this album.

"There may be a tendency to conservatism in the country right now," he acknowledges. "If you let the country move that way, it will. I have no intention of letting it." If he means it, and at the risk of being punished by this trend, Humphrey is clearly seeking his natural ground to Nixon...
