...Byrds (Hey Mr. Tangerine Man) and not walk out without some sort of ideology or a big fat lump in your throat. Bo Diddley was passe; Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper were, respectively, dead; Cream was strictly for Anglophiles; you were growing up--bye, bye Ms. American pie--you needed consciousness, man, Albert Shanker had taken over the nation's schools; now his half-brother Ravi was sitaring his way up the music charts.
