...showed a world pulling itself apart shingle by shingle and branch by branch. Best of all, the video didn’t try to glamorize the performer or interpret the song by adding a story. Instead, the video focused on the sound itself, and it did a perfect job. Koichiro Tsujikawa’s wonderfully strange video for the Cornelius song “Like a Rolling Stone” was another highlight.

It was that he would "wake up one glorious morning to find that the U.S. had recognized Communist China, having given Japan no advance notification." Three weeks ago, when Richard Nixon told a startled world that he intended to visit Peking, the unexpected announcement proved a bad dream indeed for Japan's Eisaku Sato.
