...Tops exemplifies one type of film done by Charles and Ray Eames, the toy films. These films are "purely visual and musical," said Eames. In their previous toy films, Charles and Ray Eames explored the world of toy trains, bread, or even soap flowing over blacktop. When the making of bread was the topic for a film presentation at UCLA in 1953, they added smells of freshly baked bread to the images and sounds on the screen...
...young freak audience that finds Robert Crumb's Head Comix and Felix the Cat less than fascinating, and the traditional Dell and Marvel labels absolutely boring. All three assume an acquaintance with hard drugs and are only formally connected with their heroic predecessors. More than surrealistic, gross visual explicitness washes each frame with a desperate finality. Where the cover of Felix the Cat shows Felix and his girlfriend cuddling, Honky Tonk depicts a burly monster wearing spiked knuckles and attempting to recover from an axe blow in the head, and that's just the beginning of the ooze.

...Christian Andersen died in 1875 at the age of 70, he was famous at home in Denmark. Some of the fairy tales on which his enduring name rests had already found their way into translation.

B.B.'s place in today's music is inviolable but categorically narrow; Ike and Tina's act is a continuously evolving blend of elements old and new, black and white, musical and visual. The Turners' primary concern is not with trail-blazing, either, but with perfecting the art of entertainment. Their roots lie, if anywhere, in the club circuit they used to tour ten months out of every year, playing to crowds that expected an all-out effort. Straightforward, rough, and frantic, Ike and Tina and the Ikettes made...
...feature of the Turners' consummate professionalism. Ike builds a song carefully; anything held back now will simply provide a bigger punch later. The Ikettes sing, dance, and occasionally play maracas. They are essential to the vitality of the show; their choreography translates the rhythmic structure of each song into visual terms. To an effete spectator, it could easily seem corny: the Ikettes hopping around like possessed go-go girls with the Kings of Rhythm swaying from side to side in unison. But that's precisely where the Ike and Tina Revue is at; that is, music that moves...
