...approach toward football is totally different at Cornell," he explained. "It's rough to play ball at Harvard because being in the city, values change very quickly. One day you'll be loving football, then everything around you will make it seem less important the next...
...musical and visual. The Turners' primary concern is not with trail-blazing, either, but with perfecting the art of entertainment. Their roots lie, if anywhere, in the club circuit they used to tour ten months out of every year, playing to crowds that expected an all-out effort.

Written originally as an M.A. thesis, The Sound of the City sometimes gives off a faint odor of scholarly stuffiness. It is startling to see early greats like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Bo Diddley referred to, in the best tradition of academic criticism, by their surnames. Saying Domino without Fats...
