San Francisco groups solo a lot. They have this rolling sound, this wave that just engulfs the audience like a wall of sound that you can get into any way you want to. There is a distinct Los Angeles sound. The Byrds, Love, Seeds, Springfield. They're a little more melodic, you know, a little lighter. But I think our down thing is in between. We've played...

Everywhere, some electronic instrument is always plunking against a simple melody, slyly undermining it. Everywhere, a chorus of Beatles is sympathizing with the troubled solo voice, coming in with a soupy "oooo" that sounds a little mocking. At its best the irony is both cutting and touching, as in "She's Leaving Home," where the Beatles mock the uncomprehending parents by singing their parts in falsetto and by underscoring their grief with a treacly, melodramatic...
