Later in 1968, Truth was followed up with Beck-Ola, a collection of re-worked rock and roll songs. Although the album did have its bright moments (most notably two old Elvis Presley songs, "Jailhouse Rock" and "All Shook Up"), it was largely a musical and commercial failure...
Nixon took dancing lessons to please his steady college date, Ola Florence: one night he appeared at her house, announced that he could dance and immediately proved it.

...Ola spasta, ola kapsta [Smash all, burn all]." The notion obviously strikes a chord in the Greek soul. As viewers of the film Never on Sunday will recall, tipplers in the portside dives of Piraeus punctuate their drinking contests by breaking glassware, plates and occasionally furniture. In Athens' best clubs, people like Aristotle Onassis have been known to pay as much as $700 in damages for a single noisy evening of crockery tossing...
