Or perhaps its their sense of not wanting to be pigeonholed either musically or politically.

TRUE GREATNESS
read through a great deal of your cover story, and it brought to mind the tributes the media have been paying to Joe Louis. | felt need to make public my own feelings: Joe Louis was definitely not a great man. He was a good man and»: great boxer who diligently pursued his chosen career and hopefully served as a symbol to help eliminate the barriers of racial hate and misunderstanding.
However, though he remained humble and unaffected by public acclaim, his was not life of selfless service to others or dedication to improving the human condition.
As a musician and a performer, I ve been made aware of the fact that being a great entertainer, athlete, etc. doesn t make someone a truly great human being.
If were asked to show a child a great person they could meet face to face, | might show them one of their own parents before I d introduce them to a sports celeb-rity. I d show them someone who has to fight it out every day with a job they probably don t like, who can never expect to get rich or famous from what they do. Sometimes they think about growing old and dying, and they know no one will write tributes to them or name an arena after them. Still, they have the courage and tenacity to go on taking care of themselves and their family. That s the bit of greatness you'll find in most people, and its important to remember and honor it: Scott Campbell, of The Sillies M.A.C.O. HIRING:

CON GAME
am a black resident-of Detroit. | am an underpaid employee of the city and a taxpayer. Most of all am sick with anger since | saw my employer, the Mayor, grandstanding on TV for passage of the June 23 tax proposal. The proposal stinks!
Funny how no mention is made of- the real causes of the bankruptcy. But Ill say it for the record anyway. Detroit is broke because the showrooms are loaded with unsold Chryslers. The city s No. 1 taxpayer is collapsing. Detroit is broke because Ford, GM and others have moved plants to a better business climate in the South:or to Mexico, taking the tax base with them and leaving thousands jobless. Despite these facts, somehow in some twisted logic and demagogy, its now the responsibility of the people to save the city. Never mind one out of four of the people are themselves near bankruptcy!
The history of slavery and discrimination has served to blind many Americans, particularly Blacks, to the political games that are played. Blacks still shelter their elected officials. They say, Whitey ain t any better. They'll look out for us. Ten ~ years ago. . .maybe. But today Blackness just ain t good enough.

The Detroit Alliance for a Rational Economy (DARE), one of the city s largest and most effective activist organizations, has disbanded. The action was the result of a near-unanimous vote of DARE s Executive Council on Thursday, June 18. A letter dated June 11 sent by the organization s Executive Board to all members states in part, It no longer is correct to expend substantial resources servicing an organizational form whose political impact is diminishing . .. According to the Michigan AntiDefamation League of B nai B rith, Rocky Suhayda has announced his campaign for Livonia City Council. Suhayda, whose campaign literature bears the address Box 2314, Livonia, MI, is using the post office box of the National Association for the Advancement of White People, the organization of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, for which Suhayda is the local organizer. . Government forces in El Salvador assassinated 202 children under the age of 16 from June, 1980 throughJanuary, 1981, according to a document issued by the legal aid office of the atholic Archdiocese of San Salvador. 58 of these victims were 10 years old or younger. During 1980 and 1981, these government forces have been trained and armed with more than $41 million in U.S. military aid. The American media meanwhile has responded fairly quickly to Reagan administration protests of too much emphasis on the El Salvador situation. AP and UPI accounts of alleged Soviet and Cuban military personnel in Nicaragua are now appearing more and more frequently in place of coverage of the continuing murder in El Salvador. . - Although the 1982 general election is more than.16 months away, Ann Arbor State Rep. Berry Bullard s congressional campaign was kicked off Sunday, June 14, with a fundraiser. Citing -the highly organized National Conservative Political Action Committee and Moral Majority, Bullard stated that the need to start early was necessary to counter their strength. It is estimated by Bullard s campaign committee that they will need to raise a quarter of a million dollars to be successful. ._. .Speaking in Detroit at a United Nations-sponsored symposium on the role that transnational corporations play in apartheid in South Africa, UAW President Douglas Fraser derided the position ~ taken by Chester Crocker, the new U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, who he quoted as saying that a serious and honest effort to move away from apartheid had been made by the South African regime. That view is ludicrous, Fraser declared, yet it represents the apparent path the Reagan administrationhas chosen. thought about that serious and honest effort that same week when réad about the riot police using rubber whips, tear gas and attack dogs on high school students in Johannesburg. The UAW president said that he didn t believe that those Americans who voted for Reagan did so because they hoped he would support racism and repression in South Africa. In South Africa, police arrested black journalist union president Zwelekhe Sisulu and black student leader Wantu Zentili on June 20. The arrests brought to over 30 the number of dissidents either banned or detained ina three-week period. The arrests are being made under security laws permitting detention without trial. A member of the black journalist union said the Reagan administration s attempt-to normalize relations with South Africa despite its apartheid laws has led to the government crackdown on-dissidents. He said the South African government felt it could now act as it pleases without fear ofU.S. reprisal. Two local supporters of the Irish hunger strikers, Mike Gerardin and Jennifer Miller, ended their 21-day limited hunger strike this week at Detroit s Holy Trinity Church in an effort to bring attention to the IRA hunger strikers demands. Described as weak and tiring easily, they have lost around 20 pounds each, according to spokesperson Dan O Rourke. Speaking of government waste, the Washington officesof five of the largest defense contractors Boeing,General Dynamics, Grumman, Lockheed and Rockwell International spent $16.8 million for lobbying between 1974 and 1976. According to a new study released by the Council on Economic Priorities, audits show that these five contractors charged $15.8 million of that $16.8 million to the Defense Department through their defense contracts. This means that because of current cost allowability principles, taxpayers are picking up the bill for the lobbyingcosts of defense contractors to acquire new defense contracts. This is one of anumber of startling disclosures contained within the CEP study entitled The Iron Triangle fi e The Politics of Defense Contracting.

I Feel Like I m Sitting on
Love Canal
by Michael Betzold
Anne Ramroth wondered what was happening on her quiet Livonia street.
First Mrs. Montroy s colds started going into severe bronchitis even though she had never had respiratory problems before. Then Mr. Mayes, across the street, had to be taken to the hospital because of an asthma attack. Mayes, 67, has no history of bronchial asthma. Then Mrs. Ramroth s séven-year-old daughter got asthma, too, and no onein the Ramroth family had ever had it before. Finally, last winter, a teenage girl who lives two doors away from the Ramroths also suddenly got asthma.
wondering what was different about our street.
The only thing could think of was the Chemlawn service.
Mrs. Montroy and Mr. Mayes had begun getting their lawns sprayed for weeds and insects by Chemlawn, the largest local commercial lawn-spray company, in
You don t usually have four people in an entire neighborhood who have asthma let. alone them all getting it in one year, says Mrs. Ramroth, who also has a three-year-old son and is pregnant with a:third child. I started if it has to be read, take #2 a)
the past few years. The third neighbor with asthma problems had started with the same spray service last summer.
Anne Ramroth got suspicious about the health effects of the chemicals used to keep her neighbors lawns weed free. You see more and more (spraying) trucks
going by all the time. You don t know when they re spraying until you smell it. They don t notify you in: advance. I'll be sitting in the backyard with my three-year-old and go around front to get the mail and see them spraying.
Pm concerned because I m pregnant and I m breathing that stuff in all the time.
Recent articles about the possible human health hazards of 2,4D the chemical most widely used by lawn-spray companies to kill dandelions heightened Mrs. Ramroth s worries. Her family doctor could not confirm or deny the possible link between her daughter s sudden _ bronchial problems and the chemical spraying.
But at least one doctor, Theron Randolf of Zion, Illinois, has noted a connection between pesticides and bronchitis and asthma in his book, Human Ecology and Susceptibility to the Chemical Environment. 2,4-D has been linked to cancer, genetic damage,
birth defects and disorders of the nervous system, as well as respiratory problems and _ flu-like attacks.
The government, the chemical companies that manufacture 2,4-D, and the lawn-spray services all claim 2,4-D is perfectly safe if properly applied. Yet commercial labs owned by the chemical companies which manufacture pesticides have recently been proven guilty by the federal government of widespread falsification of health test results used to certify the product safety of 2,4-D and dozens of other pesticides.
Mrs. Ramroth and her neighbors aren t sure who to believe. 1 don t think people really are aware of what they re fooling around with when they sign up for the service, Ramroth says. It is hard for-her to believe that the asthma on her street and the pesticide spraying on her neighbors lawns are just coincidentally related.
She has become nervous about sitting in her yard with her children, about being exposed again to unannounced spraying of chemicals whose safety is being increasingly questioned.
1 feel like I m sitting on Love Canal or something, she laughs anxiously.

WDET and
by Jesse Paledofsky
If Wayne State University President Thomas Bonner had indeed intended to recommend the sale of WDET, he apparently thought better ofdoing so by the time the board met. There was rampant anticipation that the university was preparing to make the decision to sell the station to the highest bidder earlier this month, but the immediate response of incredulous and angry public radio supporters in Detroit appears to have derailed any suth move for the time being.
Officially, the WSU Board of Governors which has the final say in such matters, voted on June 12 to take 30 to 90 days to look over the options (including the option to sell) presented by President Bonner concerning the station. But board members seemed quite clear that selling the area s only public radio station was not something they were going to be rushed into doing.
The President s recommendations to the board, however, did include the total elimination of University general funds to operate the radio station in the coming fiscal year. In the words of Board Chairperson Michael Einheuser, Can we continue to justify using student fee money and state appropriation money to support a public radio station when we re laying off faculty and raising tuition? That s the question, and its a toughie.
At this juncture, literally no one knows what the future holds for WDET. The only thing that can be counted on is that-change, probably on the most fundamental level, is inevitable for the station. And that prospect revolves around two interrelated questions: (1) Where will WDET make up its lost finances? and (2) Who will be in control of the station s overall management and creative direction?
Behind the scenes a fundamental struggle is going on which will ultimately determine what parent structure will be found to support public radio and exactly in what manner WDET will make its move toward self-sufficiency.
As one observer putit, This current vacuum of power won t go on forever. And in the vacuum, whoever is the most clear in their purpose and has the most clout behind them and grabs
6 Option
never-be Gayly Speaking on a radio station licensed to Channel 56, or Seminar in Black not to mention the great variety of quality community programming that WDET presently offers. He (Caldwell) really wants to run a national production house.
The eventual impact on WDET programming under WTVS management can only take the form of speculation at this stage. But looking at Caldwell s programming philosophy and goals as they have been implemented at Channel 56 can only be instructive.
the fastest will walk off with what they want.
Smoke signals such as editorials in the Detroit Free Press and gossip around town lead one to believe that the bets are living up behind the Channel 56 option. Public television outlet WTVS s general manager Jack Caldwell has made no secret since he came to Detroit that he would like to add a public radio station to his broadcasting domain. According to WSU s vice president Michael Luck, president Bonner and Caldwell met for the first time several months ago to explore that possibility.
In a statement released to Detroit Metro Times, Caldwell says, WTVS would welcome the opportunity to manage WDET if the arrangement proves economically feasible. (One feature of such a management arrangement is that it would allow WSU to hold on to the license, and in the event WDET wasn t able to maintain itself financially, the option of a community sale could still be exercised by the university.) fr
It all sounds pretty reasonable. Even people who don t particularly care for Jack Caldwell personally generally acknowledge that he s -done impressive work at Channel 56. He has substantially increased viewership and the fundraising pie from which the station draws. Just
the kind of structure WDET needs to hook up with in order to solve its financial woes, right?
Well maybe.
In the opinion of some concerned supporters of public radio, however, the very marketing procedures and programming decisions which have proven so successful at Channel 56, if superimposed on WDET s operation, would have an extremely negative impact on the identity and mission of WDET. Bi)
One of Jack Caldwell s first moves as general manager of WTVS was to revamp or cancel outright Channel 56 s local and minority-targeted programming. Under Caldwell s management, what would be in store for WDET, where community access and minority programming are an integral part of the broadcast day?
Jose Gomez, a member of the Latino El Grito de mi Raza collective at public radio, puts his concern this way. If anew management would view programs strictly on an Arbitron men-tality, it would be the community access shows which have the specialized audiences that would be in: jeopardy. But as far as I m concerned, that s what public radio is about appealing to the specialized audiences.
WDET Development Director Linda Grossman echos such reservations. There would
In the words, of one current WIVS employee, I personally think that ultimately he s (Caldwell) interested in things that will put the station on the map. ... When he first came here he told the staff that he felt nobody, including minorities, watches minority programming. His philosophy is that its better to do good programming and have minorities within the staff and represented in various decision-making levels in the process. And there s no question that minorities have been given important opportunities to make decisions here, in places like the news department and as department -heads.

To many WDET staff members and supporters,the prospect of a new independent community licensee would be the ideal way to insure the continued existence of the spirit of public radio in Detroit. However, at this point, it is admittedly a long-shot proposition. It would require an enormous amount of finesse to establish the viability of such an option. To begin with, it would mean an ability to demonstrate some real financial clout enough clout to convince the Board of Governors that this new board was capable -of running WDET. -Perhaps every bit as difficult, such an effort would also depend on the ability of a coalition to marshall the disparate interests within WDETto-move beyond their perennial tendencies for infighting and toward a larger common interest. If public radio advocates are unable at this crucial juncture in the station s history to agree upon and effectively present in some sort of unified front what the basic mission of the station is and how they propose to preserve it, there are plenty of others-who will be only too glad to step in and decide for them.

Nikki Corvette is a tough businesswoman - who utters lines like Boys are my drug. . and gauges her show by how many .male admirerscling to the stage at set s end.
Mimi Harris is a folk musician recently converted to rock. She thinks that-you have to have a lot of intestinal fortitude to survive in the business.
Beaux Mitchell is the leader of the mostlyfemale Roomates, who stresses that she likes working with women, and feels that the crowd of women followers the band has attracted is inspired by their existence.
Shaun Murphy has been around the area for years, and of all the women we talked to is the only one who has toured with a national artist (Seger) and to date has held a major label contract (Motown). She thinks things are looking up for women in rock. ~
Niagara is the legendary vocalist with Destroy All Monsters whose stage presence is ferocious. Over a drink she tells us, People -think I m tough, but I don t have anything to fall back on.
Mary Roberts is a well-known figure in local music. whose Inside-Outside Band has just broken up. Of her vocation she says, I don t write women s music. write music. am a musician and enjoy being a woman. I m not a militant feminist, but am a militant person.
Shishonee Ruetenik is a harpist whose band, Art in America, is close to being signed to a major label contract. Asked if she s an integral part of the selling of the band, she replies, I m the hook.
Carolyn Striho is a performer who can write articulate poetry or lyrics as she desires. Onstage with Rough Cut, she reminds you of Iggy Pop, among others, but is determined to create her own unique identity.
Sarana Ver Lin is a classically trained electric violinist who composes nearly everything that her group Natasha performs. She wants to write mass-appeal music and at the same time keep my little quirks in there, too.
What they think about themselves, their stage presence, their audiences, personal politics and the future of women in rock-may be as good an indication as any of how much times

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

was musical, and until recently this was especially true of rock. But the local women rockers we spoke with, if using sex as an element of their onstage identity, are all taking a careful look at themselves perhaps a healthy outgrowth of the influence of the women s movement.
T was playing at the Art Institute, recalls Mary Roberts, and was up their wiggling around, and kept thinking, My father s out there! And then thought, No, he probably loves. it.
How a woman presents herself onstage says -a lot about how she sees herself, her music and her audience. Is her stage presence mainly sexual? What message of power does she convey? Are her gestures masculine, feminine or somewhere in between?
Mimi Harris has a very definite sense of stereotypes she wants to avoid. What didn t want to be was a packaged tits-and-ass kind of act. | never reached for that Get a padded bra on, take deep breaths and put on glittery make up kind of image, she says.
Shishonee Ruetenik feels okay about the sexual aspects of her stage performance. It s fun. To me, its game. She wears black leather and tops which reveal a significant amount of cleavage. I don t see it as any-kind of compromise, she explains. We're all sexual people.
When onstage, Carolyn Striho says that she reaches for total abandonment. She feels that she performs without female and male. But as she goes through her gyrations, she admits that It s real vulnerable up there.
Vocalist Niagara likes to think of herself as a heavy metal bitch. Her legendary antics with Destroy All Monsters have earned her a following of people attracted to her toughness. Privately, she says, It s not sex. Its not phony energy. I m just trying to be a rock and roll person. I'll do anything to convey the energy message.
People will grab onto you to make a point, she says. A lot of dykes like me.
TAKING BACK THE ROCK
A growing number of women have been turned off by the sex-god image that some male rock stars portray and the accompanying lyrics which they find; insulting. But when women performers grab for that same powerful rock energy, it is often other women who are their strongest supporters. Women seem to be increasingly taking. back the rock as more and more of their sisters are adopting it as a creative medium.
Striho, formerly amember of the Cubes, used to have a constant problem with male hecklers. Since she joined Rough Cut, she notices a change: a sizeable following of women.
Beaux Mitchell and the Roomates have a special following because all but one band member are women. Sixty-five percent of their mailing list (compiled from club audiences) is women. Mitchell reports that a lot of women say to them that the band makes them feel good. Our following is so unreal college girls, wild .women and alittle bit of everything.
T think when they re rooting for us, they re rooting for themselves, she concludes.
Sarana Ver Lin, violinist and band leader of Natasha has noticed a change in the responses she gets from the crowd. They used to say, You're good for woman. Now they say just You're good.
A TOUGH BUSINESS
Still, rock is man s world. Many of those we spoke with said they have felt friction from being a woman in a man s game, especially if they choose to be involved in the business end of things.
Mimi Harris tells this story. A male agent for a record company in California said to me that couldn t really know what was doing because was a woman. Chicks in a rock and roll world, they don t really know what to do. They re just too frail. They have to be molded, he told me.
£ Rockee Berlin
One of the women candidly told us, The last time tried to get a job for a band, the bar owner asked me to sit on his lap. don t think awoman should do band business unless she can take the sexual harassment Another woman related a story of being fired from a gig for resisting the. sexual advances of a male bar owner.
Shishonee Ruetenik is very involved in the current negotiations between Art in America and half a dozen record labels. She has constantly felt that her presence in the negotiation process was not taken seriously by record company executives. I call people on it. But sometimes you sort of get lulled.
Of course, in any band there are internal conflicts. As women move away from the role of the dispensable chick singer and become integral working members of the band, conflicts are bound to occur.
If you're too assertive, they think you re a bitch. If you re too quiet you get stepped on, complains Rockee Berlin. Its no surprise that many of the women have some special relationship to one of the men in the band, be they husbands, brothers or lovers.
Dealing with so many people, mostly men, everybody s got an idea of who you should be, or where you should be going, observes Harris. Almost everyone talked to said, You: should get a new hair style; you should wear slinky dresses and high heels. Being a woman in this business takes aslot of inner strength and humor, and sort of an attitude of apathy, in a way.
Mary Roberts tried to accommodate each member of the Inside-Outside Band. The result: a recent breakup. I still have a carryover from the sixties. wanted it to be an equal thing for everybody. Next time, she says, she s not going to make that pretense.
CHANGING TIMES
Nikki Corvette hardly thinks of herself as liberated, yet she is such a competent businesswoman that at one time four bands besides her own wanted her to book them. She and the Convertibles have toured extensively throughout the country .and recorded an album a comparative rarity among her fellow new wave bands. It s just hustling, Corvette says casually. She gets lists of bars from other bands and. makes, connections for other groups, too. She calls herself tough and confides that she likes doing business and thinks that I m pretty good at it?
Beaux Mitchell reports that lately she s been a one-woman Musicians Referral Service at least three women have asked her to help them find other women to start rock bands with.
Shaun Murphy, who has a national perspective from her alliances with.old buddies Seger and Nugent, thinks that the women who've gotten national: attention recently Benatar, Harry and Hynde have broken the mold for others to follow. They re not afraid to come out and say. what they think, she elaborates.
1 don t see why it wouldn t evolve. Its just a matter of time and educating the listening public. a

GETHIGH ~*~
High America is hardly a new venture, but oh, what an adventure! The Rochester company has been sending Metro Detroiters up, up and away for nearly ten years now in hot air balloons. An hour ride, with or without champagne, will accommodate up to 350 pounds of the two of you (plus an experienced pilot). Since getting a balloon off the ground is no cheap matter, the flights are accordingly dear, but anew economy flight is more reasonable and lasts halfan hour. Flights leave daily from various locations around Rochester (dependent on wind and weather conditions), and special excursions can be arranged. Call or write High America for rates and other restrictions, PO Box 87, Rochester, MI 48063, 852-0666.

BETZOLD'S CONSUMER GUIDE 10 FILM (patent pending)
Pungent comments aside, my unique tripleaction rating system helps flush out annoying flicks and bothersome reelsin the twinkle of an eye. Here how works:
**kx* implant a film in the firmament of eternal movie quality. The more stars, the better. Four stars is max (up from three, bowing to convention) and indicates masterpiece. Movies without any stars should be viewed _only under extreme mental duress. WWWW's measure How Weird Is My Valley. Four W s signifies either a prodigal rock radio station or movie of incomparable strangeness. No W's means it as Fe as pair of year-old socks.-
ZZZZ's are for sleeping; the more Z's, the more shut-eye you get for your ticket price.
Ifa movie is totally without stars, W's or Z's, it means either I've avoided seeing because I've already had enough sleep, or it's that longawaited film that is completely ordinary, utterly without redeeming quality, but keeps you wide awake (ie., probably pom). Most likely the former: unlike Jack Matthews, can t see movies before they get to town.
BUSTIN LOOSE. Imprisoned in Stir Crazy, Richard Pryor is out on parole here, driving Cicely Tyson and busfull of bad young kids across the country, trying to raise enough money to finance that free-base habit.
THE CANNONBALL RUN. Vwwrtroocommm... squeeeeeeaaaal. crash! go the race cars, but unfortunately Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett and Roger Moore survive.

enough to be movie directors? FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Check out the ad, which shows Roger Moore as James Bond, 007, triangulated by the legs and bikini-clad crotch of his usual sexy accoutrement, and then decide whether you want to patronize this stuff, picket it, or ignore the twelfth carbon copy of the Bond adventures: THE FOUR SEASONS. («*ZZW) Hollywood's idea of ordinary people upper-middle class professionals who can afford four vacations year masquerade here as typical American couples in Alan Alda s self-indulgent, rambling and simplistic sit-com-with-angst about three couples who pride themselves on deep, bateyour-soul friendship but actually hide behind their facade of false community. To its credit,
The Four Seasons has characters who are both likeable, witty and hypocritical; dialogue that is often sharp and funny; light sprinkling of feminism; and Carol Bumett, Jack Weston, Sandy Dennis and Rita Moreno in its cast. Unfortunately, also has a script by Alda, who parades his few and belabored insights like peacock who has just learned to use quill. See how even generous people can be selfish, how we can talk one way and act another, how closed and judgmental clique can be, says Alda, as if he has stumbled upon great truths. Alda self-effacing, nice-guy styleis just mask for pretentiousness and a lack of substance.
The Four Seasons says little about middle-aged liberal couples that we don't already know, but proposes itself to be little film with big ideas.
Alda s worst fault is that he seems incapable of letting us know about what characters think except by having them make cory set speeches. It's like an evening with graduates of Toastmasters who are trying to impress stumblemouthed friends with their oratorical powers.
THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER. Miss Bag Kermit and the rest of the fuzzy set journey to London to track down jewel thieves, with Diana Rigs and Charles Grodin working without guide wires.
HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART I. (xZZWW) - Mel Brooks.thought up couple good bits a stand-up philosopher playing Caesar's palace in Rome, Moses accidentally breaking five of the Commandments, waiter intruding upon the Last Supper, and the Spanish Inquisition as an extended Busby Berkley-Ester Williams dance-and-swim stage show and somehow convinced The Producers (ahem!) to make into a movie supposedly about the history of the world. An awfully bloated concept for very broad comedy, and History suffers from its own excesses. You can excuse Brooks sexism and racism and endless fag jokes only when the other material hits home, but most of doesn't here. The final sequence, on the French Revolution, is incredibly lame. Part II is advertised at the end of Part quite coup; but otherwise History is just standard, mostly middling, Brooks, with the usual cast and the usual jokes.

LAW AND ORDER. («***WW) The practice of police brutality is placed in context, not as anaberration of few crazy cops, but as part of routine procedure in difficult situations, in this stunning 1969 documentary by Frederick Wiseman which details the everyday work of the Kansas City police department. How Wiseman got his subjects to allow him to photograph them roughing up suspects is mystery,

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. («ZZWW)The Lucasbers corporation, comprised of millionaire B-movie rip-off artists George Lucas (Star Wars) and Steven Spielberg (Close Encounters), displays its latest piece of merchandise: hyperkinetic action adventure with Hartison Ford (AKA Hans Solo) as Indiana Jones, global cowboy archaeologist and Karen Allen taking Carrie Fisher's part as the tomboy in the Lucasbers boys club (where sex is avoided since would sap the warrior's strength). Would you believe the vile Nazis are digging up the Egyptian desert looking for the Ark of the Govenant so that Hitler's armies can invade Poland behind Jewish relic? Well, credibility has never been the Lucasberg long suit; here its thrown out the window completely in the name of escape entertainment. But even the comiest of Hollywood jungle movies had ¢Baracters and causes audiences could believe in and a context in which action took place. At the hands of Lucasberg, however, character development would only get in the way ofnonstop pilfering of old adventure movies. The never-ending narrow escapes eventually be-come tiresome, and Jones is only out for himself (he s the individualist adventurer par excellence), so it hard to care much about him. The only word for this kind of filmmaking is showboating.

erent, lewd and simply hilarious. From the play by Peter Medak, who also directed the film, The Ruling Class mercilessly spoofs British society and religion. Toole thinks he's Jestis, but his relatives, who want the inhentance money that belongs to the nutsy young baron, would rather crucify than worship. With The World's Greatest Sinner, about an insurance salesman who proclaims himself God and becomes rock androll evangelist. Quite double bill! (Ann Arbor Film Co-op, July 1 ye
S.0.B. Mary Popo: making apomo fim? Yes, even Julie Andrews is tired of being squeakyclean, and think this means that Anglo civilization can be officially pronounced decadent and perverse. $.O.B. isn't porn exactly, but stars Julie as well-known Hollywood actress making her first skin flick for husband-producer William Holden. Directed by Blake Edwards, of the infamous 10 (whom we can all thank for repopularizing the adolescent practice of reducing women to numbers), $.O.B. proves that if you need the Dough, you'll stop singing DoRe-Mi.

Three villains from Krypton, each with the same powers as Superman, arrive in an America full of billboards and fast food, and Lester has lot of fun showing them winning the uneven battles with the stupid, punchless earthlings. Superman's preoccupied, bunking down with Lois Lane,as both Chris Reeve's and Margot Kidder's characters blossom into more complexly scripted ang acted roled. Eschewing

Detroit Summer at Park West
You wanna get out of the heat. Through the doors of Southfield s Park West Galleries the air is cool, and the hardwood floors an oasis of palms and potted plants.
But before you can bless an air conditioner, you're plunged into the aqua depths of a Tom Parish painting. The colors are cool and sensuous, and the canvas big enough to swim in. All of Parish s paintings soft, to abrasive as coral are peaceful.
And that s the last bit of peace you'll find here.
Art dynamo and daredevil Pam Freund (she organized Behind the Glass last month at the New Center) has put together 17 artists in a show called Detroit'Summer Months. It sizzles. The art is sometimes street-wise, sometimes sophisticated, always energized.
Gary Mayer may lead the list of these

young kinetic-eers. His paintings are expressionistic, slashing jungles of color. His recurring shapes are packed andlayered as if every zap-bamm! action scene of a Marvel comic was squashed into one frame.
Even Mayer asks, What are these - shapes in my paintings? Monsters, plant life? Vegetarians? like all those associa-tions, the dumber the better. Not so dumb. Mayer knows .. .they become things on their own. In Spot Check, a graphite on paper, those things become a dynamic vehicle fora dozen jagged emotions.
And jagged is the style of painter Michael Vidacovich. He uses bold color and:a childlike vision to fragment his scenes. A car flys over the snapping jaws of a shark. Aman finds an alien in a basement. Zorro sells used cars.
They're almost schizophrenic, but deliberately so. The tale of 20th century man has more questions than answers and this is what makes Vidacovich a modern narrative painter. He begins a painting with a snatch of an overheard conversation. Then builds .. .a story or plot line much as in a soap opera.
But the script is incomplete and the viewer does what comes naturally: strains rationality to build a story from the unrelated pieces.
These paintings are engaging and sometimes haunting but have the weakness of many narrative works. The storytelling (ours and Vidacovich s) may be as rich as Chivas, but it eventually runs dry.
There's morte than paintings in this show. Martyn Bouskila sculpts S&M beauty/ brutality with his spiked objects. Pi Benio hangs light, airy mutables which grow progressively heavy as you look at them. Printmaker Shoshana Gunsberg takes the same horror George Grosz saw in postwar Germany and incongruously puts it around a family dinner table or a suburban backyard. There's also personable. clay objects, monumental photographs and much more. And all of it is surrounded_by the sound images of artist Paul Feinberg. Detroit Summer Months is certainly not flawless, but its definitely exciting. The artists are refreshing in their risky growth. And it's refreshing to see a gallery take on a large all-Detroit show.
The show will continue through July 25 at Park West Galleries, 29469 Northwestern Highway, Southfield. Weekday hours at 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturdays 10-5 and Sundays 12-5. For more information phone 354-2343.
ETROIT ON WAX
Welcome to the second installment of DETROIT ON WAX. hope the first column served to introduce interested. readers to Detroit's independent recording scene, in spite of its brevity.
The majority of metro Detroit s independent record ~ labels are artist or groupowned and serve as private vehicles for their own products. Occasionally, closely allied groups and players will use such labels to release their efforts rather than establishing their own, thereby utilizing the. knowledge and experience gained by the label's originators. A good example of the phenomenon was The Reruns choosing to release their first single -on The~ Romantics Spider Label and their second singleon The Mutants FIM ae label. Local independents like JAM., Midwest, International, Mystery Train and World Sound fall into this category.
A.T.C., AutoMotive and - Maverick are three area orga-
-A Mixed Bag! \
nizations that are fashioned after regular record companies, as they sign talent from outside of a small circle of friends and release product in a more established way.
Tremor records, based in Royal Oak, falls somewhere in between: these two approaches. Tremor began as an outlet for Cinecyde, but rapidly evolved into a cooperative/ collective-style operation. The bands share in the expenses for advertising, promotion and compilation costs, while footing the bill for the recording, pressing and packaging of th¢ir own individual projects.
Tremor is entitled to a hardy pat on the back, for they have grown to become this area's largest label, boasting a dozen single and EP releases as well as a compilation LP featuring their impressive roster of bands.
Nuf said this time on the nature of local labels, so let's get on with looking at a current mixed bag of recent releases.

Thisinteresting little package is the debut disc from AT.C. Records. It serves to showcase three area acts plus _an extra bonus: former Frank Zappa protege, the infamous Wildman Fischer. A.T.C. plans to release a six-song 12-inch EP by the Ragnar Kvaran Group in the very near future as well as projects by the other three acts listed above. Side one of this EP is very accessible, while side two is more than just a little strange. . Something for everyone?

The White Lines Cos You're Not / Every Lover's Game
The White Lines are a good example of a band in transition. The Brothers, Joe Kidd and Killer Wail, have been slugging it out on the West. Side (in different groups) for several years before finding a rhythm section that they felt fit their energetic style of rockinpop. This disc was cut during that period with the aid oftheir cousin George Darney and two friends on bass and drums. They have since added the dynamic duo of Larry Ritts on bass (formerly with Danger Point) and George Ricardo (formerly with The Reruns)
the very talented Sarana Ver Lin, whose magical vocals and electric violin are supported by the inventive drumming of Jerry Brazil, the melodic bass, of Don Gillespie and the cascading keyboards of Dan Butterworth. This record is already getting airplay on three Boston radio stations (What is the matter with Detroit radio?) and has caught the ears of several West Coast record producers. It looks like Tremor just might have a hit on its hands.

and have been recently packing them in at Lil's and The Bowery. The songs on this 45 are mainstays in their live set, which was best describedby the Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy as"is ideal sags cruising. >
The White Lines have just gone back into the studio to cut another live-set favorite called We Are the Missing Links. They truly are. °. .another strong local group to watch.

The Fishsticks Motor City Withdrawl"/ Bosco
The Fishsticks are the brainchild of two very active local musicians, Mike Belitsos and jim Damberg. The A side of this record, Motor City Withdrawl, is a straight-ahead rocker with very tongue-incheek lyrics and a biting solo guitar by The Torpedos Bob Gillespie. Bosco, the flip side, cuts an entirely different groove with jazzy, south-ofthe-border musical roots. The lyrics extoll the virtues of that favorite childhood drink what else Bosco!

Anytime / Don t Let This World Turn You Cold
I honestly know very little about Empulse, but no matter, because this very commercial funk group cuts the mustard. Anytime is what you might expect, with its hiccup/popcorn bass line and nasal vocal inflections. You have to turn this record over, though, to hear what Empulse s sound is really all about. Don t Let This World Turn You Cold is averycontemporary sounding, soulful ballad with a very beautiful message.
(Midwest International, c/o Probe One, Inc; 2133 Bryanston Crescent, Detroit, MI 48027.)
Rough Cut Danger Boy / Thailand
Gutsy vocals from Carolyn, with hard-as-nails instrumentation from the boys in the band. The lyrics, derived from newspaper clippings, are very interesting, espcially on Thailand. Those of you who keep up with the Rock Press or hang around the import bins of your favorite record shop might describe Rough Cut s sound as being like Girlschool meets Motorhead. (Two: English metal bands, one female, the other male, both of which may as well be from Dee-troit!) Beware. not for the lenderheatted. Kick Out the jams!

We don t want to go out there and jump around and have a smoke bomb go off, we just want to play our music, says George Korinek of Shadowfax. That just about sums up the essence of one of this city s oldest (12 years) and most uncompromisingrock / rhythm / blues bands.
They have been playing their tasteful and peculiar mix ofrock and roll up and down the Cass corridor for as long as most people can remember. Eclectic and diverse, Shadowfax are feel players with improvisation and flexibility providing the magic that keeps the musicians fresh yet familiar.
They don't play every week these days, the members have other interests and responsibilities; but the band is a regular in the Alvin s Finer Twilight Bar monthly line up (which George manages). The nucleus remains the same as it was when they started in 1968. On vocals and guitar is Dave Opatik; drums, Dave Chambers; lead
Suitar, Bill Hodgson; and on bass and vocals, Korinek. They have had several piano players during their history including the legendary Boot Hill, jazz musician Bobby McDonald and their current king of the keyboard Tim Sparling. If Shadowfax, after 12 years of growing and struggling and picking their shots carefully, can be in some sense considered
family, then they are blessed with an abundance of relatives they have acquired over the long haul. It is always a delight, but never a surprise, to have some very interesting people appear in a Shadowfax set at Alvin's.
Regular friends who sit in to stretch out and have a little fun include Jim McCarty and Johnny the Bee of the Rockets, Mitch | Seaies eer er: ane ow oe ese ese

they have tasted the good life and the big circuit and have come out on the other side all. the wiser.
Shadowfax has toured with Mitch Ryder and opened for Alice Cooper and Ike and Tina Turmer. Alice drank all our beer, quips one band member. Chambers is a veteran of Bob Seger s band. Hodgson was a member with Steve Gaines (Lynyrd Skynyrd) of Detroit featuring Mitch Ryder, a band instrumental in establishing the Motor City as a premiere rock town.
Shadowfax
Ryder and Silver Bullet Band guitarist Drew Abbot. The last time Boz Scaggs was in town, he dropped by to jam after his gig. Spontaneity, respect and an interest in many musical traditions is a keystone in understanding both their longevity~ and artistic growth. Being commercial was never areal consideration. They are a rare entity:
business relationship, explains
When questioned about their ability to hang together, they were quick to answer. We are family to each other, this is not a Korinek. They pride themselves on the community ties they have nurtured. over the years and their critical attitude toward the Detroit bar circuit. are currently selfproducing an LP and are taking their time with it. In recording, as in everything else, they are determined to do it on their own terms.

Snyder Goes Helter Skelter for the Ratings
by Bob Gordon
Tomorrow Coast-to-Coast
Friday, June 12 NBC-
The fact that Tom Snyder has been allowed on television more than once shows that this country is in worse shape than the Moral Majority could ever hope to think its in. Having someone who wears such an array of professional ineptitude, lack of character, smallness and sundry other neuroses on his collar interview. Charles Manson, the most educative poet of psychosis since the Marquis de Sade, is a bit like Jerry Falwell interviewing Aleister Crowley, or perhaps Anita Bryant reviewing La Cage Aux Folles! The manis real-life Ted Knight of Mary Tyler Moore fame, and more absurd than Dan Akroyd s devastating impression of him.
Is it possible that Manson could have outclassed Snyder to such an extent that viewers could start to feel sorry for Manson? (Sorrow is a common emotion I feel for guests on Snyder's show, but for Manson?)
Unable to find out what makes
@ee@®@ badgered him with a degree of self-righteousness unseen since the Crusades. I have never seen a person so pleased with his position. A tin-horn Muhammed on an electronic mountain.
When Manson waxed poetic, Snyder tried to nail him to the facts. Snyder doesn't interview people to find out about them but as a vehicle for himselfto grandstand. He gets bored by responses that are longer than his questions, so he interrupts. During one answer, Manson, apparently tired of being interrupted, said, If I m gonna explain it to you it s, not going to be easy so you're gonna have to bear with me. Snyder, not
Mansori s mind work, Snyder instead. 2211

pleased with the direction, interjects, Wait, wait, wait, let me ae ae you for a second.
Manson: Yea, well then we're gone with that thought. ~
Snyder: No, no, no, because you re getting. . (unintelligible, presumably, off the point. )
Manson: Then we'll go to another one and you'll make me look crazy.
Snyder: No, no, no, you can make yourself look crazy, Charles, can't make you Idok crazy, please believe me.
Manson: Okay, I'll believe you and I'll keep it in my left-hand pocket for later.
Manson talks of his prison routine which consists of sweeping the kitchen and playing handball. He says he is only 10 years old in Snyder's world because he has been in prison so much. Snyder ~ then asks-how old he is in his world.
Manson: Forever, since breakfast, I can t remember.
Snyder again accuses Manson of -being on a space shuttle. But at this point one has to ask which came first, the silly question or the silly answer?
Manson has spent 34 of his 47 years in prison, and he appears to be well adjusted to it. I love the world I live in, he says.
Manson: Most assuredly, it's me. Prison s in your mind. You can sit in the cell and the guys say, You in prison? say, No, I m just here.
When Manson evaded questions about the LaBianca murders, Snyder, in his typically quirky rhythmic patter, says, Get mad, get angry, come over here and hit me if you like. Imagine the publicity Snyder would get if that happened, attention he. actively courted by posing something so absurd. Much to my dismay, Manson declined.
Manson: One guy come up and said, T heard you said you were Jesus. I said, No, man, ain't said nothing. He said, Tm glad. I said, Why? He said, Cause1 Ame
Snyder asks about harassing people on an alleged celebrity hit list.
Manson: If wanted to harass them just wouldn't watch their TV show. Manson . concludes: Maybe I am wrong, maybe I take a look at my life and say, Well, I'm gonna change and start all over, and I go to God and say, Are you gonna forgive me? He'll say, What do you come to me for? Forgive yourself, man. Don't be bothering me. I figure he ain't got time.
Perhaps not quite what Charles Colson had in mind when he spoke of being born again, but in his own way Manson seems at peace with the knowledge that he believes he iswhere he belongs.

Grub Goes Chic .<.s-
The Grub Street Hermit
2865 West Maple Troy 3
Not knowing a thing about suburban restaurants other than the cheeseburgers at the Good Time Bar in Livonia, a few trips to the Japanese places where they flip the food right in front of you and a deli or two going to a place called The Grub Street Hermit in Troy made me wonder: Are they grabbing you with the name, or is this a good place to eat?
I was there on a Saturday night. Full parking lot. Supposed to be a sign ha, this is a good place. Ifit weren't, the lot wouldn't be crowded and there'd bea half-empty garbage dumpster.
The wait for dinner was a mere ten minutes. We waited it out at a sunken bar small chairs, not a lot of leg room. Two gin and tonics were $2.90. A lot of ice but they lasted fairly long. Time for dinner. We're led from the greenhouse-like front, where the bar is, to the artificially lit back where the tablefor-two in the middle of the room directly faces the design-attempt plastered dividing wall that splits the room in half. We lit the candle on the table. It still didn t help.
Dinner. The soup was good. Homemade. Good deal ofisan! besides
the barley, and you get a lot for $1.45. The meat in it was a bit bland.
On to the salad. The tossed salad on the side is $1.15, and there are severalfof the fancier ilk for $3.50 and up. I can't judge those. But the little bit I had with the Trout Almondine dinner was a bed of lettuce, a few other things, one cherry tomato and bottled ranch dressing.
On to the main course. The trout was - suggested by the waitress. But you shouldn't assume a place called The Grub Street Hermit is going to have good seafood. I was told later I should have tried the burgers.
But anyway, the trout was alright. An ample piece for the dinner price, $5.25, but depending too much on some lemon and tartar sauce for its punch. You do get a nice baked potato. It tasted fresh. The dinner included some unspectacular bread. Too tough.
My companion had Steak-Kabob which, at $4.25, was a good serving of meat and several kabob items and was supplemented by some shredded lettuce with a pale hot sauce over it. The pita bread was a bit chewy as well.
A listing of desserts joins the salt shaker as a table staple. We tried Black - Forest Cheesecake, and it was quite good. Although it had been chilled for a while, that didn t hamper thetaste.
The service was good. Although our waitress led me astray on the trout une

sandwiches looked interesting), she juggled a half-dozen tables, and you saw her enough to know you weren't wating in a bank line on Friday.
The price is right. The tab for two, including drinks, a decent size glass of wine, coffee and tip was about $21.Ona scale of 1-to-10, I'll give the food a six. Mind you, tried the fish and broke a cardinal rule of never trying fish except in a place that specializes so. The prime rib at $6.95 may be good. But that s your risk.
of Grub Street as the London Greenwich Village of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
There s a mention of hack writers who scurried for work prior to the era of respectable institutions like newspapers, magazines, publishing houses and so on.
Its not a serious attempt at an historical link. Hack writers likely wouldn't feel right in a place my friend described as Piper's Alley chic.
