Notes
1 In 1957, Frank Sinatra wrote a short essay for Western World, a “bilingual transatlantic magazine” published in Brussels. The Associated Press quoted several paragraphs in a US article about rock “n” roll, suggesting that Sinatra’s generic critical comments were directed at Elvis Presley. This piece appeared in a number of newspapers, including the Los Angeles Mirror News, October 28.
