The Bay City Rollers: The View From Seat A6
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 25 September 1976
"Then one day I found a perfect plan,
I shake my ass and sing in a rock and roll band,
From now on there'll be no compromisin'
Rock and roll music is the best advertisin',
Baby baby baby, you know I got the guts,
I'll be a healthy outlet for your teenage lust..."
– The MC5, 'Teenage Lust'
