...Radio stations, courting the lucrative advertising market of 18-to 34-year-olds who grew up on rock 'n' roll, carefully balance their play list of new releases with selected classics of the genre (examples: the Platters' The Great Pretender, Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven, the Everly Brothers' Bye Bye Love).

Harmonically it shows a startling resourcefulness, both tonal and non-tonal. Particularly amusing was the recurrence of a particularly slushy theme, either because of the humorous contrast with Pousseur's art, or perhaps due to its explicit banality in the Pousseur context...
