...kind of man who has been acceptable," says Lindsay Kemp, and so far, no one has really given him an argument. Kemp, 34, is the Scottish creator, director and star of an unusual Broadway entertainment called Flowers, in which bizarre, dream-tinged themes involving homosexuality, masturbation, drag parties and transvestism are set forth in mime and in music. On opening night Mick Jogger sent Kemp a basket of lilies, and the critics sent Kemp a bouquet of reviews in which outrage mingled with fascination. "I don't want to shock people," retorts Kemp. "I want to astonish them...
...Drag Queen. It was a good year for Hollywood, and one of the best that a powerful, confident America has ever known. But Myron soon learns that his "new" world of padded shoulders and Hudson Hornets is divided into the locals - those who are actually living and working on the film in 1948 - and the visitors - those like himself who were mysteriously dumped there.

Carol Channing, one of the guest stars, asked Hope what would become of his talent if he decided to retire. Said Hope: "I won't let it all go to waste. I'll give acting lessons to John Lindsay...

Wood's sax solo is far moodier than in the past although one cannot help but be immediately reminded of "Glad," when the wah-wah begins. The entire piece, although quite lengthy (11:03) does not drag for a moment because of the constant shifting of melodies and countermelodies among the sax, piano, and synthesizer. This shifting could cause a serious breakdown in the continuity of the composition if not for the solid rhythm section, highlighted by Capaldi's drumming--highly characteristic of Traffic's sound...
