It was the best of musicals, it was the worst of musicals. It was a score of wisdom, it was a book of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief in the entertainment value of songs like 'Dancing In The Streets' and 'My Girl,' it was the epoch of incredulity in hearing lines like 'Your little Stevie is a wonder' and 'You built a legacy of love.' We had everything before us, we had nothing before us.
