Quotations

[Keep in mind this book is copyrighted 1971]

The cousins were rehearsing centre stage, and I wondered how theye had become so popular -- even as a backing group. And how Sam was going to tone them down for American t... (show all)elevision. I had the nasty feeling that the way they were gesturing with those guitars was part of the routine and, while it might get by on BBC-1, any American television station would black out the act. They like to kend ep things pure and untainted for the Bible Belt and family audiences over there. (chapter 3)
