...Runner." Sure to be a legend of rock and roll, this track alone justifies the rather extravagant price which decorates the album jacket. Opening with the terrific backbeat and acid guitar which became the signature of the band. "Johnny B. Goode" leaps up an emotional notch when that manic wail of a lead vocalist begins to shrick...
...accoustical panels grouped in blocks of three. A whole wall can be flat, or any triad of panels can jut out, changing the sound. In fact they can all move at once. This phenomenon clearly had more impact than Boulez intended. The room seemed to sway, and a wail like a sea storm turned the Espace briefly into a heaving ship. Annoyed, Boulez turned quickly to four more practical demonstrations. By altering the configuration of the panels, the same passage of music could be made to sound dry (with no reverberance) or resonant, bright or grave (accenting the deep tones...
Bowie meets David Eno on the third side. Though the graffiti in the bathroom at WHRB proclaims "Eno is god," his success as artist and producer is a curse as well as a blessing.

It was the Hindu wedding, in East Detroit, of Lekhasravanti (nee Elizabeth Louise Reuther), 30, daughter of the late Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, and her fellow Hare Krishna member, Bhusaya (Bruce Dickmeyer), 27. The best man: Ambarish, 27, otherwise known as Alfred Ford, great-grandson of Henry I. No other Fords were in sight, but the bride's uncles Victor and Ted Reuther gamely padded around in their socks and joined the festivities. Said...
