...there any place a mutant can get a decent meal around here?" That quaint query is a line from a "contemporary and American opera" called Escalator Over the Hill. And who is recording it but Viva, underground superstar of such Andy Warhol hand-held flicks as Blue Movie and Bike Boy, and brand-new author of a rather autobiographical and hilariously funny novel called Superstar.

The chants were often accompanied by raised fists; but the fists occasionally turned to fingers when the march happened by a United States flag...
...knocked out when I heard his work," he recalls. "I had never known any songwriter to address himself to the human condition. I began to collect Brel." So did another enthusiast, Composer Mort Shuman, who had assisted at the birth of the rock generation by writing tunes (Viva Las Vegas) for Elvis Presley.
