Re: It Was 40 Years Ago Today
I was 10 when this happened. I think it was around this time that I figured out that the war had been going on in one form or another for nearly my whole life and I was only eight years away from the draft. It's a cliche to say that America lost its innocence during the '60s and '70s, but it's true....

By contrast, the leaf-clipping chimps seem more advanced, practically debonair.

“Males basically have to attract and maintain the attention of females,” Dr. McGrew said. “One way to do this is leaf clipping. It makes a rasping sound. Imagine tearing a piece of paper that’s brittle or dry. The sound is nothing spectacular, but it’s distinctive.” O.K., a distinctive sound. Where...

Good idea for a thread. I recently dipped a toe in the digital waters, having used a fully manual Nikon FM since 1978.

Something about them, their look, the cover to MM , screamed "art rock" to me. I naively assumed they were some Warholian VU knock-off band. Well, like most of the late-70s class of CBGBs bands, they definitely owe something to the Velvets and art school, but they were also considered mor...
