...music business dropped off earlier this year and economic panic spread, investments of both high hopes and hard cash were being made in Tusk. Like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac was the kind of "monster" group that was expected to pull the business out of the doldrums. Both records, indeed, seem well up to such heavy hauling, especially since the runaway success of In Through the Out Door, Led Zeppelin's album of surprisingly graceful power, has cleared the road and got rock fans to reach for their wallets again...

It opens, the critics turn handsprings, and that cheeky kid is once more swaggering down the block-Puck in middle...
...seduced by the latest fashion invasion. Explains one 40-year-old sylph: "I worked really hard to stay looking good, and I'm not going to cover it up with baggies." The jeans have been well received among Chicago high schoolers, but older customers still seem to be too timid to go public with the new look...
