Saint Etienne Quote
"By 1968, it seemed the whole of America - not just its youth - felt something was going badly wrong, with Vietnam, assassinations, race riots, and ever-climbing divorce rates, the American way of life was under scrutiny from all sides. These songs display a vulnerability that the Greatest Generation (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin) and the pre-Beatles generation (Dion, Bobby Darrin, The Beach Boys, The 4 Seasons) had never experienced before. It's the sound of a country trying to work it's way out of a crisis."
