...true, he has "made mistakes," but he has also done more homework. His knowledge of such issues as defense and education reform, programmatic foreign policy, and national service has been demonstrated consistently at his every appearance.

It was not the first rock musical -- Galt MacDermot's Hair preceded it, as did the Who's "rock opera" Tommy -- but its impact was extraordinary.
