...emotional impact, the "new '60s" songs can't be compared with the originals; for that you'd have to be 15 again, your ear soldered to an AM radio in the urgent expectation that the next 3-min. jingle would explain and rectify your life.

Or better, wrestles with him--for this 55-min. one-acter, which Pacino also directed, is virtually a one-man show. A conversation a lonely man has with himself, it requires that the actor bring theatrical variety to monologue monotony...
