...future of rock is here. Lou Reed, Patti Smith, and even Willie Loco and Blondie have proven to be ear-catchers out of the stacks, the kind of stuff that turns your heart nicely the first time you hear it, so you stop and think about what you just heard and place the stylus back a bit so you can hear it again.

Cautiously, each character in the short stories plans a neat life for himself, one which will allow him to live in as irresponsible and "dignified" a fashion as possible. For Schorer, the order and self-centeredness of wealthy middle class life makes it so impersonal and unrewrading by denying man's basic need for communication...
