LAST WINTER an album appeared on A and M records entitled The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark. The jacket featured a hill-billy type on a motorcycle passing a joint to another in a sidecar. That picture is almost a visual description of the music on the inside, a very gentle blend of C and W and rock. Generally the term Country and Western calls up images of excruciatingly sentimental lyrics with a fiddle and banjo contest going on in the background. But the arrangements on Expedition (songs written mostly by the musicians Gene Clark and Doug Dillard) combine...
LUCY IN LONDON (CBS, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). Anthony Newley takes Lucille Ball on a "Special economy guided tour" of London by motorcycle sidecar in this musical comedy special...

He gets the prisoner into the sidecar of his motorcycle, but the partisans take potshots at it, the Allies drop bombs around it, and the Nazis requisition it. He switches to a German amphibious vehicle that sinks. He finds a Fascist bicycle-built-for-two and rides triumphantly into the Eternal City-which the G.I.s have taken...
