...poetic evocation of a soaring mood and the electronic mesh of sound contributes powerfully to the spirit of the song. Townshend has done other wonderful things with his electronic control--on 'Out in the Street' one of the Who's earliest recordings there is a flickering gash of feedback that jars the listener into total awareness, on 'Call Me Lightning' there is a brief sputter of amplified plucking and then the sound switches into the full-fledged majestic whine of electric lead guitar and you get what it means to integrate Noise and Music...
...even that faint feedback carries a definite message. If the signals bounce back polarized-in other words, with their electric fields reversed-they indicate rough terrain. Unpolarized echoes, on the other hand, mean smooth surfaces. In either case, the target areas are pinpointed by a system of coordinates similar to latitude and longitude. One coordinate is located simply by clocking the signal: the quicker it bounces back, the closer the bounce-back point is to that part of Venus nearest to Earth...

Unfortunately, to get to these pleasantries, the listener has to put up with...

Besides they say, most people are so indifferent to sound that they are not even aware that many sets have tone-control knobs Still, the fact that thousands of viewers also own high-powered stereo rig: suggests that they may well object to the feedback, spotty pickups or imbalances that occur when Carol Burnett drowns out Jack Jones in a duet, or the band on The Ed Sullivan Show blasts through a crooner's ballad. To compensate, about one-third of the singers on TV practice "lip sync"-mouthing the lyrics to a prerecorded sound...
...McCarthy had not seriously contemplated final victory; and charging into the primaries and convention halls where delegates are to be chosen, Kennedy is grimly aware of what he is up against. Sundry campaign captains recalled to active political service by Kennedy have had phones to ears for days; the feedback has been decidedly mixed. Theodore Sorensen, poring over the political charts, has pointed out the stone walls and blind alleys...
