Jan. 24

A few months back I suggested a campaign to start thinking in terms of "pop music" again, instead of all this "underground rock" twaddle. It was a good idea, but unnecessary. Pop is coming back, the best rock is on singles, and as we've seen over the last few months these great singles are actually hitting the charts. And the snowball has hardly begun. I can cite Slade, the Raspberries, the Move, etc., but that stuff doesn't add up to much yet.
