"THERE IS a feeling of great looseness and spontaniety in the works of 20th century composers," Sachs said. "No matter how sophisticated the works may have become in their creative development, they are still closely linked to trends in popular music in which there is a great deal of conceptual improvisation."

What is relevant to the film is its intensity, the saturation scriptwriter Larry Kramer and Ken Russell, the director, have provided in a specific time and place so that universality of human behavior and its contemporary significance glitter throughout. It is difficult to recall another film that so successfully recreated the past with a depth that brings to life every album snapshot we have seen of the time," New York Magazine said.

Thus, the plot turns into an inane comedy as Giannini leads a double life to keep his wives separated. "Mimi describes with hilarity and compassion, how sex, pride, provincial ignorance, economic necessity and the strains of a Band dimly lit.

When asked if he was tired of the road, he said, "If you're going to ask negative questions then don't ask any at all." Sensing the hopelessness of salvaging the interview, I turned off the recorder and sat back. Only then, did he loosen up a bit and talk, but onlv in vaanp ioe , V ? ' After incessant questioning, he spoke briefly of many varied and random things: his love of the road, his recent divorce, no place he calls home, his belief of extraterrestrial beings.

After a few moments, the conversation abruptly died. I had run dry of questions and McGuinn offered nothing on his own.

An interviewer never asks this question because the subject will probably tell you how irritating you are. "One thing is that I wish I had some beer right now," he said. "But I don't because it's Sunday or something like that. The other thing is I'm getting tired of talking." I thanked him for the 1C minutes; he looked up, nodded and I exited, trying to unravel what had just occurred. It wasn't that McGuinn felt he was too good to talk to a college kid; the problem was he simply didn't seem to care about much of anything. As I sat watching the show, I was impressed by how smooth and well rehearsed it was; one of the McGuinn trademarks. The people got to hear their favorite Byrds songs. Yet, something McGuinn said during the 10-minute fiasco stuck in my mind: "I'll keep on doing this (the music) until something better comes along," and "It's not wrong to re-live the '60s, they were good times." But how long can Roger McGuinn survive by playing old Byrds' songs? iditviug 10 mc^jruinn ana watching him on stage this past Sunday night, I noticed how much he has aged; his face shows signs of wrinkles and a belly pokes over his belt. But, maybe that doesn't matter. Perhaps it's like he sings in the song: "But, I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." ?1 1 T PAJJCJ TURDAY , IWb | FASHION VEATERS ?
