...their verse, they are reaching the widest, best-educated public in Russian history. The result has been a remarkable poetic revival. In theaters and student hostels from White Russia to Central Asia, overflow crowds listen to poets with almost religious fervor. On Sunday nights in summer, city squares echo to the liquid, incantatory cadences of Pushkin. Lermontov and. often. Zhenya Evtushenko. One good reason for poetry's popularity: scraps of "noiseless verse," as Russian writers call work that is too avant-garde or radical for publication, can easily be mimeographed and surreptitiously distributed from one group of youths...
...wounded knowledge of the "world full of grey" is the source of Brown's idiom-a varied and appealing bouquet of jazz, folk music and the blues. He snaps from one mood to the next with commanding effect, leading his audience through the street scenes that echo in his music.

That is, he has no voice at all, just a rasping, unmusical tone that occasionally stays on pitch. Such a voice is perfect for rock, if it is doctored with numerous tubes. In its natural, undoctored self it is merely sad and less...
...Harvard Coop" has possibilities, but they are not explored. The words don't make much sense, but rock 'n roll that is often a virtue. Throughout the song we hear of the wonders of sets of "monopoly, opolyopoly" and "refund checks a-heck heck." An echo chamber, a good drummer, a bridge tune, and slightly less repetition would have helped immensely. Still, it is possible that the does capture the atmosphere of favorite cooperative store, and that is important. For if rock 'n roll has value, it is in its ability to the flavor of contemporary life...
