Trial
& Error
The British Beatles have in
vaded the United States. Reac
tions are teriffic among teen
agers, repulsive to some adults
and tolerated among others.
One adult remarked, 'You can
turn them off on TV", and if
dagger looks could kill, they
would have been dead from the
glance of the teen-ager sitting
in the same room.
Beatles were the top discus
sion at the bridge club last
night, and some members ac
tually admitted they liked
them and we are not quite
teen-agers. One member re
. ma]jted that eyen if their hair'
is .laggy, it is mighty clean <
looking and shines like clean
hair should.
U. S. News & World Report
published an interview with
David Riesman, Harvard pro
fessor and noted author on soc
ial trends. On being asked if
he thought the fad for the
Beatles is a mania, answered
"It's a form of protest against
the adult world. These youngs
ters arehoping to believe in
something, or respond to some
thing new that they have found
for themselves." He further
points out that no fad lasts too
long as it starts out as a min
ority movement. "It is self
fulfilling, self-nourishing for the
minority that supports it, and
every member of the minority
is supposed to respond in the
same way. As soon as the ma
jority takes it up, it can no
longer be a fad."
Of interest to me was the
fact that Reisman said being
British had nothing to do with
the craze. It is more difficult
to cultivate fads within Amer
ica. Mass media promotes any
thing so quickly in America
that we have to use other En
glish-speaking lands in order to
have a place for fads to grow,
comments Reisman.
