Philip Auslander, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, was quoted in an article on CNN entitled "Forty years, ago, chaos reigned in pop culture" on the effect of upheaval on the country's entertainment industry.
"The political and military events of 1974 “took the wind out of the sails of counterculture, which had been setting musical trends since the mid-1960s. The musical paradigms [were] about to shift. The year's anomalies wouldn't be anomalous for long." - Philip Auslander, July 21, 2014
