Introduction
We have here a collection of journalism, written at specific times for specific purposes, between November 1967 and October 1970. Yet the title of this book is The Age of Paranoia. A three-year age? Sure. A contradiction? Probably not.
If you, reader, will accept the fact that you are being redefined in the moment of reading this sentence, and that I am being redefined in the moment of writing it, we both will have come a hell of a way in escaping the stasis both acts imply. Speaking from his own bias, Mao called this principle `perpetual revolution.` So did Julian Beck of the Living Theatre. So does Sid Karp of Philadelphia.
The point is that because of the post-McLuhan realities of what Gene Youngblood has called the `global intermedia network` (and a few other things)-our time is being more and more compressed, our experiences are becoming more intense, and our general awareness more diffuse. Rock music is an example close to me, and probably the easiest to talk about.
Since the early Sixties, rock has undergone changes that took decades to happen to jazz. Chuck Berry`s rhythm & blues (the most frequently cited) was introduced in England by the Beatles and Stones, sprinkled with a little English salt and deep-fried in the prole underground clubs of London and Liverpool, then reexported to America where it sold and was consumed like fish and chips. Once the last bit of r&b had been licked up, however, the music didn`t atrophy the way it had in the hands..
