Quote of the day

The esteemed smut merchant Henry Miller once said that it was possible to peer between a woman's legs and read the entire history of the Middle Ages. This caused quite a stir at the time, though, as many disappointed men soon discovered, this unconventional research technique did not work with all women, but only with one, gynaecologically suspect female Miller purported to have taken for a roll in the feathers.

Something similar can be said about the American pop band the Knack, who flourished from 1979 until 1981. The entire history of rock'n'roll can be read in their saga; in fact, the entire history can be read in a single song. This is the band's breakthrough hit My Sharona, a catchy, throbbing, monstrously insistent little number that has never gone away, will never go away, and at this late point should not really be expected to go away.
