#Interestingly Cultural & technological shifts of the 1960s, including the Vietnam War & the British Invasion, created new sounds, new stars, & new themes. The ‘Teen Tragedy’ genre became a time capsule… obsolete by the middle of the decade. #MarkDinning #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly “Teen Angel” is Pure melodrama: a couple in trouble, car stalled on the train tracks. A rescue attempt & the fatal decision to go back... 3 minutes of cinema from your radio, representing that brief era when pop radio openly embraced mini soap operas. #MarkDinning #OneHitWondered
