Ik zal beginnen met een inleiding in het hele TOO MUCH-gebeuren. Het moge duidelijk zijn dat de jaren tachtig ondermeer bekend staat om zijn briljante tv-series zoals Transformers, A-team en Knightrider. Zo had ook Karateheld en Texas Ranger Chuck Norris zijn eigen tekenfilmserie, Karate Kommando's. (Ik vraag me af of een eventuele fanclub de Karate Kommando Klub had geheten.) Enfin, tijdens zijn spannende tekenfilmavonturen werd Chuck ondermeer bijgestaan door een aziatisch jongetje met de naam Too Much. Als die naam al niet belachelijk genoeg was, had het jongetje ook nog Tourette, wat zich manifesteerde in het om de haverklap roepen van "TOO MUCH!". (Voor een demonstratie klik hier @ 00:36.) Daarnaast bleek deze vorm van Tourette ook nog eens besmettelijk. Nu telkens als ik een engelstalig tv-programma kijk en ik hoor "too much", wordt ik afgeleid en in het ergste geval moet ik het ook nog eens herhalen. Ondertussen heeft het zich ook verspreid naar teksten en ja, naar muziek. …

1 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
(1967)
One would be hard pressed to name a rock album whose influence has been as broad and pervasive as The Velvet Underground and Nico. While it reportedly took over a decade for the album's sales to crack six figures, glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise, and nearly every other left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt to this set. While The Velvet Underground had as distinctive a sound as any band, what's most surprising about this album is its diversity. Here, the Velvets dipped their toes into dreamy pop ("Sunday Morning"), tough garage rock ("Waiting For The Man"), stripped-down R&B ("There She Goes Again"), and understated love songs ("I'll Be Your Mirror") when they weren't busy creating sounds without pop precedent. …
