Stereo Review

The magazine started in 1958 as HiFi and Music Review. The magazine's name was changed to HiFi/Stereo Review in 1960. By 1968, stereo had gone mainstream, and HiFi/Stereo Review became known simply as Stereo Review. In 1989 it absorbed High Fidelity magazine. Finally in February 1999 Stereo Review merged with sister publication Video and became Sound & Vision.

Zappa
By Michael Smolen, pp 93-95

"Narrow-mindedness has always been one of the prime factors in American society," Zappa told me recently over coffee at New York's Mayfair Hotel. "It's a big blind spot in America, the closed-mindedness, the small-mindedness, the resistance to change. There's a resistance to change and an artificial support of things that are new, because Americans have a resistance to going all the way. So when people say 'That's not music,' that's just another manifestation of closed-mindedness. It's an educational problem." (read more)
