'let's Get It On' Is A Classic

Part Of Me Believes That The Completed Record Is The Final Measure Of A Pop Musician's Accomplishment, Just As The Completed Film Is The Final Measure Of A Film Artist's Accomplishments.

The Faces Do Not, As Some Have Recently Alleged, Play Badly. They Are More Than Competent, Especially At Creating A Mid-sixties Rolling Stones-styled Groove, As Their Excellent Version Of 'memphis' Proves.

Bob Dylan Was The Source Of Pop Music's Unpredictability In The Sixties. Never As Big A Record-seller As Commonly Imagined, His Importance Was First Aesthetic And Social, And Then As An Influence.

Bob Dylan May Be The Charlie Chaplin Of Rock N' Roll. Both Men Are Regarded As Geniuses By Their Entire Audience. Both Were Proclaimed Revolutionaries For Their Early Work And Subjected To Exhaustive Attack When Later Works Were Thought To Be Inferior. Both Developed Their Art Without So Much As A Nodding Glance Toward Their Peers.

The Rolling Stones Are Violence. Their Music Penetrates The Raw Nerve Endings Of Their Listeners And Finds Its Way Into The Groove Marked 'release Of Frustration.'
