...jump ahead. The story, and in a way the bus ride, started all those twenty years ago, when Elvis mixed black music and white music, added some rhythm he had learned growing up in the Pentecostal church, swiveled his hips, put his heart into it, and started the rock rolling. The story starts before rock'n roll became an American institution, before it splintered into hard rock, bubble gum rock, acid rock, punk rock, jazz-rock, folk-rock, and that most castrated form of rock, if it can be called rock at all--disco.

Skynyrd's roots in British rock are obvious and there is little pretension in the album's music or the P.R. about the extent of their debt. Numbers like "Down South Jukin," "Preacher's Daughter" and "Lend a Helpin' Hand" would not have been written if the Rolling Stones and Cream had never recorded.

Descriptions of food, music, sex and the funny remark made around the office water cooler have one thing in common: you really had to be there. Trillin manages to convey his appreciation for what he eats without straining after poetic equivalents of the taste. After a generous helping of crabes farcis, he simply notes that "chefs on Martinique tend to use as stuffing what I suspect a crab would have chosen to stuff himself with if only he had been given the opportunity." He has high praise for the cooking of a Manhattan neighbor and adds: "Alice claims that when...
