Beware Pastels. The pioneers of the New Thing have become heroes to pockets of admirers all over the world. But even after a decade, the new sound is still largely unfamiliar to many listeners. Uninhibited, impolite, impatient, the New Thing often seems intended only to disturb. One reason: it is as much involved with the pain of being black in the U.S. as Dixieland was with the exhilaration of marching in New Orleans parades.

...film's most telling episode, a subject is asked to group unfamiliar words under two headings, clean and dirty. Fugue, she decides is a clean, but titillate and thespian are both dirties. Thus, the film implies, words cannot be untainted if the mind is unwashed. It is the unintended moral of the movie. Sexually, What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? is a clean. Ethically, it is a dirty...
