...same top seven songs every week, as did Hit Parade. Instead, Music Scene tunes are picked from any place on any of the Billboard "Hot 100" or bestseller charts (soul, country, "easy listening"). On opening night the producers shrewdly mixed things up, booking Tom Jones, James Brown and Buck Owens-plus the Beatles. Between numbers, and sometimes during, an engaging young satirical company provided blackouts and sketches.

...Prohibition fused the amateurism and catch-as-catch-can national tendencies of the early days of the republic with a more modern, highly organized lust for violence and the quick buck. It fused the need to massacre twelve hundred thousand American Indians and ten million American buffalo, the lynching bees, the draft riots, bread riots, gold riots and race riots, the constant wars, the largest rats in the biogest slums, boxing and football, the loudest music, the most strident and exploitative press with the entire wonderful promise of tomorrow and tomorrow, always dragging the great nation downward...
