Little needs to be said about them because all of us, at one distant time or another, were inevitably part of that scene. It was a phase we all passed through, an integral stage in the growth process.

Bandstand heritage, but we seem to feel that we are above and beyond all that now. We pride ourselves on our openmindedness and the supposed latitude of our cultural inclinations. We think that we (and therefore our music) represent a freedom of sorts from the insular mind rot of our juvenile counterparts.
