| Once
upon a time, before a certain cable network began
making instant stars of demographically-correct groups
who'd never performed live, bands learned the ropes
from the bottom up. They played teen dances and local
clubs, released a local hit or two, then broke nationally,
honing their writing and performing skills in the
process. Quite often, the results were devastatingly
effective. All of which is why the Five Americans
have always been one of our fave bands. And we have
here all the evidence necessary to prove our case
in court. |
