...padding it with irrelevant organ solos and guitar solos and the mandatory drum solo (with extensive use of the bass drum yet!). This music is very different from, and inferior to, the concentrated, strictly organized, but striking sound of early black rock and roll of the Chuck Berry-Fats Domino-Little Richard variety--a sound which had its greatest impact among the swaggering, brash young British proletariat. When the white working classes in America finally shake off their acquiescence and become rebels against society I will expect to hear them produce rock to equal British rock. Till then we must...
Stringing Along. Their own paths were surprisingly mundane. Mike, the son of an Edinburgh schoolteacher, began by teaching himself songs on the ukulele by Fats Domino and other vintage rock 'n' rollers. By the time he finished high school, he had moved on to playing guitar with "a lot of bad rock groups" while working in the daytime as an apprentice accountant.

Humphrey justified the policies of the past four years with the frayed phrases of the domino theory. By its stand, he argued, the U.S. has permitted other sappling nations in Southeast Asia to protect themselves against the communist menace. In addition, we cannot withdraw unilaterally because such action would open Southeast Asia to "more violence... more aggression... more instability." If the Vice-President still sees unrest in Southeast Asia simply as the march...
