...brand of blues: "They ain't no more of our kids comin' up. They been havin' too good a time." Jimi Hendrix, whose recording this is, learned guitar from Muddy Waters records, but Muddy never taught him to pluck the strings with his teeth or elbows.

The central character is a delinquent (Christopher Jones) who caterwauls his way into the hearts of young America.

Oldsters who have passed that milestone are packed into concentration camps and mind-blown with...
