...indifference and non-participation from its audience. Conditioned by commercials, people cannot concentrate on long performances. Rubins says, "There are lots of things you just can't say in ten minutes. Maybe that's why songs are popular--they're short. You can say, 'Well, I had my little dose of meaning in Carole King today...
Uptown in the Park is presenting a most amazing festival of soul this Sunday over at White Stadium in Boston's Franklin Park. Sly and the Family Stone are headlining these proceedings, but that's just the beginning. Along with Sly you get a dose of a solid Tower of Power, a taste of the superb jazz of Donald Byrd, a handful of easy rhythms from the Hues Corporation ("Don't Rock the Boat"), and some of Richard Pryor's street-wise comedy.

...more than a stubborn caprice. With a Gatsby crippled by such a dismal Daisy, the movie must be sustained by its secondary characters. There is little enough strength there. As Daisy's friend Jordan Baker, Lois Chiles seems to be fighting off unsuccessfully the effects of a massive dose of Novocain. George Wilson, the poor garage man who kills Gatsby, and his wife Myrtle are impersonated by Scott Wilson and Karen Black in little bursts of lunatic melodrama...
