Young Lovers: ’60s Pop TV
Jon Savage, Face, The, March 1982
You might well suppose the marriage of pop and television to be made in heaven, so inseparable do they seem. Perhaps not: you have complaints. Very well then: at least a marriage made in the boardroom — equally as binding, and nearer the truth. The funny thing is that youd expect the partners to want a change, especially as theyre both getting past it, but no: the sanctity of marriage, that cornerstone of our daily life, is upheld.
