P 14, paperback.. "Did Mucho stand outside Studio A looking in, knowing
that even if he could hear it he couldn't believe in it?....
To not believe in the music of your time, what does that mean? To not be at
one with your time, I would say. And, the music of
the time alluded to, the Beatles for example was the art of its time. Of
its time and for all times, to adapt Jonson on Shakey.
The music of the spheres, to go back to that famous concept of unity with
the cosmos, does not exist for Mucho.
Mucho is alienated from the heartless world of the tower. Bosses who
destroy your freedom--the 50s all over. A world which
does not help the working class in their car despairs. The Scientific
American ethos of value-free facts---Just the facts, M'aam--Dragnet
reviewing the books which might humanize a little more. Pierce's
narcissistic suburban sprawl of deckless days built by robber baron
capitalism.
