The Ronettes Return to the Stage: Teenage Girls Forever
Lenny Kaye, Rolling Stone, 29 March 1973
FABIEN IS nervous. Not quite shaking in his boots, but enough so that his timing is off, lost in phrases that go nowhere despite the best intentions. He had been greeted with a huge roar when he walked out to MC the first show, but the late night crowd is composed of harder-core oldies fans, dedicated group-fiends whose main interest is the interplay of four-part harmonies and who couldnt care less about a former pop idol from Philadelphia.
