...entire history of rock, there have been few groups as popular or durable as the Beach Boys and Chicago. Between them they have sold over 65 million records and survived the popularity of scores of psychedelic, protest and glitter groups. For more than a decade, the anthem of-the Beach Boys has been sweet, close harmony, and its gospel essentially nothing more profound than the joys of teen-age love, uncluttered California freeways and the eternal search for the perfect wave. As for Chicago, they are hard-jazz rockers whose first album in 1969 included a taped replay of some...
...loads in Shampoo's Los Angeles lead to George's beauty salon, where George sets the hair of beautiful women and then takes them home to bed. Moving between salon and bedroom, comb and penis, shampoo and sperm, George is the denizen of a bizarre world whose plastic kaleidoscopic glitter Beatty exploits in his farcical look into the sex scene of the L.A. beautiful people...
...hothouse. When Tommy (The Who's Roger Daitrey) meets the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) in a championship match, Russell mounts it on a gilded stage before thousands of fans. The Wizard looks like a character from the other side of an electronic looking glass.

The glitter blitz blared until 2 a.m., leaving Columbia Pictures with a bill of some $35,000 for food...
...crystal Baccarat table was designed for a 19th century Indian maharajah; the gilded piano was once played by Chopin. But the bearskin rugs, emperor-size bed and rhinestone-studded recreation room could belong only to Liberace, 55. Now music's oldest glitter rocker has opened his rococo Hollywood Hills mansion, complete with toothy portraits of the maestro himself, to public tours at $5.90 a pop. His share of the profits, says Lee, will help support aspiring artists like Protégé Vince Cardell, 35. Thirty-two guides have been trained by Liberace, and four gold-jacketed salesgirls staff...
