...dead were read. A pair of high school sweethearts from Blackwood, N.J., attended an M-day rally at Glassboro State College, then committed suicide together. Across the Hudson, New York's city hall wore the black and purple bunting of mourning. Mayor Herman Zogelmann of Wellington, Kans. (pop. 8,391) cooperated with the American Legion post to drape the town in patriotic tricolor. Across the country-in drenching San Francisco rain, in ankle-deep Denver snow, in crisp New York fall sunshine-Americans took part in a unique national Happening...

Thus in the modern rock and roll scene there are, to name only a few, groups like the Who. with...
...quote (from Peter Townshend of the Who): "Unchanneled or misdirected energy is incredibly wasteful in pop music. Like the Beatles know how to channel their energy. I'm convinced that there's not a lot actually coming out, it's just that we get all of it." That's the first thing. The Beatles not only generate enormous energy, but they direct it in a carefully chosen and strictly limited manner so that nothing is wasted. They never overreach and whatever they choose to give us comes out intensely focused, as penetrating and overwhelming as a laser beam...
