 Smart Mobs: NYTimes on Fred Turner's "From Counterculture to Cyberculture"
As Fred Turner points out in his revealing new book, “From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism” (University of Chicago Press), there is no way to separate cyberculture from counterculture; indeed, cyberculture grew from its predecessor’s compost.
Turner suggests that Stewart Brand, who created the “Whole Earth Catalog,” was the major node in a network of countercultural speculators, promoters, inventors and entrepreneurs who helped change the world in ways quite different from those they originally envisioned.
[Turner] suggests, we are mistaken in thinking that the postwar technological world was dominated by hierarchies and rigid categories.

Turner has a nuanced understanding of the way successive histories and conflicts overlap, and he makes selective but effective forays into group psuchology and psychoanalysis; fantasy, misogyny, and perversion are key terms in his discussion.” —Canadian Literature

 Canconrox - Bachman Turner Overdrive
Though it was met with critical reviews, the album failed to produce any singles or much of a renewed interest in the band, despite the tight writing and skilled musicianship the name BTO was synonymous with in such tracks as "Toledo", "City's Still Growin'" and the lead track "For The Weekend".
Consisting of Turner, original drummer Robbie Bachman, Thornton's return on guitars and Randy Murray holding down the rest of the guitar duties, the disc interestingly consisted mostly of classic BTO brought up to date with Murray on vocals, including "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and "Hey You".
Bassist Fred Turner’s vocals would soon become as unique and distinguishable as anyone else’s in the rock realm.

 Bachman-Turner Overdrive band history
Their new name was inspired by the truckers' magazine Overdrive; Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the record formerly turned down by every record company they sent it to, was released in 1973 and did fairly well: it stayed on the charts for 68 weeks.
Their style was starting to dissipate, with the heavy sound of Fred Turner fading and the more country-rock side of Randy Bachman showing (this side was very evident in his solo Survivor and nearly absent from his later solos Any Road and Merge).
Rock n Roll Nights had a number of outside writers; Fred Turner's only song, Heartaches, was interesting in its use of three different musical styles in alternation.
