...musical term) was created for him. The two have riaen and faded together. Hendrix was never flash because he had a certain lyrical as well as musical genius. His genius aside. Clapton was too humble to be flash. Alice Cooper and Ian Anderson? Theatrics. David Bowie and Rod Stewart? Rock star trips. Steve Marriott? Punk arrogance, and Peter Townshend, for all his onstage pyrotechnics, has been sneaky serious ever since perfect placement of that primal teenage stutter on "My Generation...
...interested in Hendrix's wall of sound, or Clapton's trio virtuosity. Again, Beck is primarily interested in hearing himself play. In fact, my theory is that he tends to surround himself with relative mediocrities just in order to emphasize his own talents.

This year, Yovicsin is planning strategy for the intramural athletic program, my girl friend dumped me. Rod Foster is a fourth string fullback, End Zone Crone is at quarterback, and I can't figure out Restic's plays, much less predict them. It's in the stars Harvard...
