CREEM—June 1972 by Lester Bangs I need someone to show me The things in life that I can find I can’t see the things that make true happiness I must be blind. —Black Sabbath, "Paranoid" "The world’s comin’ to an end." —British bobby, interviewed on network news in the first bloom of Beatlemania We have met dark days; the catalog of present horrors and dire morrows is so familiar there’s not even any point in running through it again. It may columns be a copout, columns but people will columns do almost anything now to escape from the pall. The (first) Age of Anxiety gave way to the clammy retreat of the Fifties, when every citizen kept a tight bomb shelter, then to the sense of massive change in the Sixties, but the passing of that agitated decade has brought a new Age of Implosion, yesterday’s iconoclastic war babies siphoned off en masse, stumbling and puking over each other at the festivals which were celebrations such a short time ago.
