...Andrea Kosinski wants to meet him. She says that because she is his public she has a right to. Goddard remembers that John Lennon's public killed him and continues hiding his identity even from his parents. To unmask Goddard, Andre enlists the unlikely help of Patrick Domostroy, a once prominent classical composer perfectly content at being reduced to playing the piano at a "pinball joint that tries to pass for a nightclub." Like most of Kosinski's heros, Domostroy lives on the fringes of normal morality and society. In an abandoned ballroom in the South Bronx, he spends...
...music may have declined drastically since the days of Lennon and McCartney, but AM could not do full technical justice to a terrific song even if it had one to play. The quality of music reproduction on AM radio is so far behind FM capability that an all-talk format is about the best the wave band can handle.

Prior to "the Pelvis," the rhythms of rock were buried in the funk of "race" music. In his wake came the generations of rock compounds: -abilly, acid, punk, and, inevitably, Beatlemania. The first to mesmerize the millions of white teen-agers of mid-'50s America, Elvis all too soon degenerated into rhinestone rumbling, and his act, his records and films, even his bloated, tragic end, contained...
