...cretins. Entertainment is left up to a very few white groups who know how to act onstage, such as the Who, the Stones, the Rascals, and most of the English blues people. Art is left pretty much up to the Beatles and Dylan. The common denominator of all the popular groups is that they have realized that they are not just "doing their thing" but that they are putting on a show, that they are different from their audience in some very material ways, and that they must maintain a sort of friendly inaccessibility. Richard Nixon and Eric Clapton share...
...rock is immediately gripping and this immediacy is what makes the greatest rock music as widely popular as it is. Jimi Hendrix was named the most important star of the year by, of all publications, Billboard, that infamous organ of AM radio rock.

"Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh." Flash. "Dai-Gohonzon...
...veins of Americana have been more assiduously mined than the Western fur trade. From Francis Parkman to Bernard De Voto, scholars have unearthed the routes and reminiscences of the "mountain men" in the 19th century, devoting volumes to their exploits. Surprisingly, Novelist and Popular Historian Walter O'Meara's anecdotal appreciation seems to be the first to deal with the lives of the women of the fur traders and mountain men. Not surprisingly, their relationships with women turn out to be as rich and varied as the rest of the mountain legend...
