...whom are Roman Catholics. Their anti-Russian feelings are longstanding; the country suffered 120 years of oppression under the czars, and after 22 years of independence was brutally annexed by the U.S.S.R. in 1940. Emboldened by the example of Russia's own dissidents, Lithuanians have become increasingly vocal in their protests against Soviet religious and ethnic repression. No fewer than 17,000 Lithuanians signed an open letter that was sent to the United Nations this year deploring the deportation of Catholic bishops, the arrest of priests, and the closing or destruction of churches.

The trend among musicians seems to be toward a more complex, melodic style that incorporates jazz fusions and extends the vocal phrases instead of locking them solidly into the beat. There are also signs that the mass concert may not be the Grail of musical ambition that it once was, that it may go the way of the three-day rock festival-into oblivion. It took the pop audience a few years...
