...down the barriers of traditional blues that Clapton had built around the group, and almost single-handedly raised the Yardbirds to the status of the avant-garde group of the sixties. He was the first English blues guitarist to make extensive use of the wah-wah pedal and the fuzz box (electronic devices for manipulating the sound of a guitar). Beck's first album with the Yardbirds, A Rave Up, contained three rock classics: "I'm A Man," "You're A Better Man Than I," and "The Train Kept A-Rollin...

By the time I got there, however, only a few whiffs of smoke were rising from the charred remains of the president's house, and the fuzz had already doused the flames at the base of her stake and untied the dean of women, who was still only medium rare.
