"... For Nixon, the summer of 1974 was an ending. For me, a beginning. It was a heady time for music, a summer when new genres were just taking form and competing for national attention. In the cities, disco was rearing its head for the first time, at the same moment the Ramones were making their CBGB debut. ... Classic rock, folk, disco, and punk were all facing endings and beginnings that summer. ... The song that was everywhere in the summer of 1989 had no such rheumy-eyed notions of the past. 'Fight the Power' by Public Enemy was as angry, sweaty, and claustrophobic as the Spike Lee movie (Do the Right Thing) that made it famous. ..."
