THE STORY OF

Once upon a time there was a Lithuanian Princess who desperately tried to become an artist.

She fooled herself but no one else.

So she went out and found herself.a little Polish helper who had also been crushed by the impossible dream of becoming an artist.

They put their heads together and decided if they couldn't become successful artists maybe they could help others.

So together they went out and bought loads and loads and loads of other artists work.

They believe they have something for everyone.

So now they have a graphic arts gallery named GRAFISKAS which means Graphics in Lithuanian ... of course. Let CHENG =

Immaculate Conception Church, but you have not succeeded. People from Detroit and suburbs have joined them in this cause. This has become our fight too, because we realize that what you've done to them is something you could very well try to do to us as well.

To the Archdiocese: You, their Shep-

herds, in whom they have placed their faith and trust, you sold them out. The opportunity to add more than one million dollars - to the Archdiocese coffers became your only consideration.

If they had any faith at all in you, you destroyed that when you rejected GM's offer to move their church. Despite the reasons you gave to the media for your decision, the bottom line is that you simply didn t want to part with the million dollars.

To General Motors: You publicly made an offer to move Immaculate Conception Church. However, because the Archdiocese. rejected that offer, no one really knows exactly how genuine it was.

If your offer was indeed made in good faith, then please do something now. Negotiate with the former Parish Council, which has accepted your offer to move the Church. Help us, there s still time!

To the City of Detroit and -Mayor Young: On May 14, 1980, you said you favored the GM plan to move the entire Church. Why then haven t we received any response from you? We are asking you to talk with us, not the Archdiocese.

NEWS FEATURE Neighborhood Television?

by Kevin Fobbs

Does anyone remember. when there were only VHF channels on the family television? Channel 2, 4, 7 and 9 (Channel 11 from Toledo if you had a great antenna and the weather was right) were all there was to choose from. As the city of Detroit and suburb after suburb address how cable will enter the Detroit market and the proliferation of services such as IT, ON, HBO and MORE invade more and more homes, there is little doubt that we are in the midst of a technological revolution in television unparalleled since the mass introduction of the tube itself in the fifties.

An explosion of options available to the home TV set comes at a time of unprecedented dissatisfaction with the type and quality of programming being offered by the major networks. But in the middle of the current mad scramble for new channels, it is unclear who will determine the direction of the new programming and whether the content will increase in quality as well as quantity.

An important development on the video horizon is something called low-power television (LPTV). Low-power stations in particular hold a real possibility of decentralized ownership and alternative programming. A limited number of frequencies are going to be licensed by the FCC in the next few years in each market with the broadcast range about 10 to 15 miles and a start-up figure of under $100,000.

LPTV can offer cities like Detroit an opportunity for more community access to pending telecommunication advances.inthe next few years, says Molly Pauker, a Federal Communications Commission attorney based in Washington, D.C.

AnLPTV outlet can be rooted in a specific neighborhood or community. It might allow events as diverse as Detroit City Council meetings, Birmingham Brother Rice basketball games or a Farmington Hills community talk show to be broadcast to a select, smaller but concerned audience.

The advent of LPTV doesn t mean a television station on every block. It does suggest, however, many startling changes in the way we may soon communicate with one another. In deciding who will be communicating to the community, the FCC has given non-profit, non-commercial applicants a preference in receiving licenses.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) are two of five non-profit, noncommercial applicants out of 18 applicants for Detroit-area LPTV stations.

UAW spokesperson David Mitchell is concerned about who will control the community s access to LPTV airwaves. Whole new vistas are literally being opened up. The UAW is afraid that these new technologies will go to the people who already

control everything: broadcasters and businesses. We want to see that the traditionally large corporations don t become the gatekeepers to access, Mitchell says.

ACORN certainly is not one of those traditionally found in the television industry, although they have been active in several community radio projects recently. The community organizing group plans to produce local television documentaries on neighborhood problems, talk shows and shows produced by teenagers and senior citizens.

We feel.that there is an audience for these typesof programs, says Lea Lent, ACORN s national Television in Action for Communities project director. These kinds of programs can be a valuable community resource. We feel that this will encourage people to take a larger, more responsive part in community affairs.

The financing requirements of LPTV stations are a crucial element in making the new stations accessible to community groups. While a moderate-sized full-power station can cost.in the neighborhood of $2 to $4 million, an LPTV station s operating and construction cost can hover between $40,000 and $150,000.

Because of the low cost, we can see this as a great opportunity not only for minority groups and women s groups, but also for consumer groups, senior citizen groups, trade unions, all of which have been denied financial accessibility in the past, Joan Gudgel, spokesperson for the National Federation of Local Programmers, told Detroit Metro Times. Her organization lends its expertise and knowledge to assist community non-profit, non-commercial organizations in developing the expertise needed for operating a low-power station. _

We felt that the commercial groups were already organized, and if we didn t do something soon, they would monopolize the low-power situation, says Gudgel.

If people in the community are waiting for our fall line up, I m afraid to say we don t have one yet, adds Mitchell. Yet if they are willing to look down the road and be a part of who will decide the shape of these new. technologies in 1985, 86 or 87, then they need to get on board now. of

Perhaps the most significant event to occur during the recent high-powered campaign to. pass the June 23 income tax increase in the city of Detroit was the opposition of an important section of labor to the measure.

On at least two counts, the opposition of the AFLCIO and AFSCME to the ballot proposal gave some hope to those who believe there must be some other way to solve Detroit s financial woes than emptying the pockets of the vast majority of people while those with the money get a free lunch.

First of all, of course, it highlighted the fact that whatever the results of further negotiations, those who work for the city weren t going to give up hardearned wages and benefits without a fight.

Second, it highlighted the fact that there is growing sentiment for the idea that, in order to save our cities, it is not necessary to give big business everything it wants while working and middle-class people pick up the tab.

There is no doubt about it, Detroit, like most major U.S. cities, is in trouble. Most major cities are in hock up to their necks to banks and other financial institutions. Most, like Detroit, can t make enough money from traditional sources to pay for even basic services like picking up the garbage.

The Reagan White House is no help either. In fact, Detroit Mayor Coleman Young is operating on the assumption that he can count on the fact that there will be no money coming to Detroit from Washington. The alternative, as Young and many other urban administrators see or are forced to see it, is for individual taxpayers to tighten their belts and squeeze as much as possible out of their pockets..

Meanwhile, corporate America, never too shy to make a killing on the market, is engaging in multimillion dollar development projects which are being paid for more and more with tax dollars.

Riverfront West, a new high-rise complex downtown, will cost some $94 million when completed. The group of millionaire developers who will profit from the venture is getting a cool $8.4 million in tax breaks over 12 years for the project, plus at least another $14 million in federal monies for construction:

The new GM plant on Detroit s east side will cost an estimated $500 million to complete. Already, some $320 million of taxpayers money is going to build this plant, which will result in the closing of two west side plants and the loss of several thousand jobs. Meanwhile, some 60 percent of Detroit s population is on some kind of public assistance (and not

making profits from it, either); some 100,000 are unemployed, and the city is in deficit to the tune of at least $130 million.

The latter figures on the Detroit population, -brought.to light by Mayor Young, are clearly distressing ones. It is no wonder, then, with companies demanding more tax breaks by threatening to leave the city or state, that such a high-powered campaign as that to pass the June 23 initiative occurred. However, the opposition by the AFL-CIO and AFSCME raises another angle to the question. What if a coalition similar to that which Young took to Lansing to battle legislators over the June 23 package had, instead of that package, one which fit into the spirit of the June 18 resolution of the AFLCIO?

That resolution had at least one reference to a fair tax package. William Marshall, a former bus driver who heads the state labor federation, pointed out that, 25 years ago, business paid 63 percent of the taxes in this state and individuals paid 32 percent. Today, the figures are totally reversed, with business paying only 35 percent of the taxes and individuals paying the rest.

T d like to see a graduated income tax in this state based on the ability to pay, Marshall said at the AFL-CIO council meeting.

State Senator Jackie Vaughn s office reports that a raise in the single business tax by one percent in Michigan would add $460 million a year to the state s budget. If one half of those monies were earmarked to Detroit, even if on an emergency basis, perhaps some laid off city employees could go back to work.

Another $55 million a year could be raised for Detroit if the corporate income tax were raised from its present two to 12 percent. At 12 percent, that s still a far lower rate than, say, the taxes of someone who assembles Mustangs for a living.

Such is one element of another way of looking at city finances. Of course, many, including Detroit s political leadership, support federal legislation to curb runaway shops, close tax loopholes and end real federal spending waste such as that iin the war budget.

But right here in Michigan there are some possibilities. What it would take, of course, is a movement to capture the anti-tax sentiment of working people and channel it into what the AFL-CIO would _call a fair tax program. a

The newly formed Michigan Inmate Defense Coalition which includes the Detroit Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild and National Conference of Black Lawyers, has filed a class action suit on behalf of all male Michigan inmates challenging the lockdowns which are presently in effect across the state. The suit seeks a preliminary injunction to force an immediate end to the practice which has been enforced since the uprisings last month.

Sometime in mid-July, House and Senate are expected to vote on the Fiscal Year 1982 Foreign Aid Authorizations Bill. There are various amendments being offered that would restrict the $26 million of military aid which the Reagan administration is requesting for the El Salvadoran junta. From Michigan, Sen. Levin and Reps. Conyers, Wolpe, Kildee, Bonior, Crockett, Hertel, Ford and Brodhead have all committed themselves to supporting at least the weaker amendments. However, Sen. Riegle and Reps. Purcell,

Ticsles Albosia Dibaell Bina chard and Broomfield are swing votes and have made no commitment. To contact these swing votes an urge them to cut military aid to El Salvador, call (202) 224-3121 during business hours.

The same New Right conservative legislators who have restricted women s access to abortion in Florida have also passed substantial budget cuts for medical services. According to Dr. John Curran of Tampa General Hospital, one premature baby has died because he was denied care and as many as 15 infants could die a month because of a shortage of funds for the neonatal unit there. The Tampa General facility can care for as many as 33 premature infantsat a time, but a limit of 18 was imposed June 11° after the hospital learned it would no longer be reimbursed by the state legislature for uncollectable bills. Babies have been flown as far as Augusta, Georgia, because no Florida hospitals have had room in their neonatal units. a

Just a few hours earlier the U.S. House of Representatives had taken perhaps its most significant vote in a quarter of a century. The vote was a procedural motion whether the House would consider the budget resolution as a whole or whether it eee ee

knows the nation must be in trouble. With the passage of Gramm-Latta II, much of it is. The bill, as passed, abolishes the Community Services Administration one of the few remaining agencies of the War on Poverty; repeals dozens of major laws aimed at providing health and social services, urban development funds and educational programs, and cuts all their funding. It places them in block grants that will allow the states to do with the money as they please, with no strings attached. The bill cuts student loan money, food stamp eligibility and subsidized housing. The bill is the heart and soul of the Reagan program which cuts money for social services so Reagan can give the money to the Defense

The Democratic: theory was that if votes could be obtained on specific programs, then some programs might be -spared the ReaganStockman slashings. Middle-of-theroad congressmen might find. it politically impossible to go on record in favor of cutting popular programs like Social Security or Medicaid. The Democrats lost, 217-210.

According to Detroit Democrat George Crockett, Jr,, Gramm-Latta II was 500-600 pages long, unnumbered. (It) was presented literally hot off the presses at 11:30 Friday morning. Debate began at about one o clock and lasted until 6 p.m. Between six and 6:30 p.m. the vote was taken.

Someone s phone number was nearly enacted into law:

Mr. O Neill: Rita Seymour and her telephone number, is that to be a part of the general law, or is that stricken? 225-4844.

For a moment, it seemed as if the sheer ludicrousness of the bill would cause its defeat. But a few phone calls to southern Democrats from President Reagan salvaged the victory. Actually, it wasn t the calls, it was the deals that were made.

Other Louisiana congressmen received similar offers of support. A Texas congressman reportedly received a renewed Reagan pone to synfuels.

As it became clear that the Republicans would carry the day, the tone of the debate grew bitter. Rep. Pete Stark of California perhaps most eloquently expressed the Democrats frustrations:

When your state closes or reduces Meals on_, Wheels, and house-bound senior citizens go without adequate food, the Republicans can be proud. The Republicans can be proud of the foster care that is no longer available. The Republicans can be proud of the mentally ill. who will no longer get training or home care; and the senior citizens who will have to leave their homes and move into institutions because the social services that allow them to remain at home are no longer available.

It is interesting that none of the Republicans are looking me in the eye. They are looking at their feet, maybe because they realize and are ashamed of the human suffering that will result from the changes this administration has forced them to support.

One Louisiana congressman told the Washington Post, My vote can t be bought, but it can be rented. I got a great deal.

The President s advisers understand the budgetary cost of what they have proposed; but they do not know its costs in terms of human life or human suffering. They do not understand the value of dignity or the value of charity. They - think you can take an athlete or an actor or a

The following, taken from the Congressional Record of Friday, June 26, 1981, have been culled from one-minute speeches given on the House floor just prior to the Reagan budget vote.

I am going to vote no on Gramm-Latta. 1 am voting no because the proposal what little is known of it is heartless, but even more completely, the process tramples 200 years of legislative traditions.,

Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, N.Y.

Mr. Speaker, would like the opportunity -

to address the House and to call their attention to the fact that we have finally just been delivered the document which will be under consideration the rest of this afternoon, andI assume upfor a vote prior to 5 o clock. Not even Evelyn Wood could get through this document prior to 5 o clock if she started today.

divinity student and cut funding for public assistance and social service programs, and have supply-side economics feed, clothe, provide medical care and assistance to the aged, blind, disabled and other truly needy in this country.

That is a lie. You will see, ladies and gentlemen, that the President has been lying to you, and the Republicans in this House will bring the _|lie to fruition.

P KK ok.

Although Gramm-Latta II was a Republican bill, it was 29 southern Democrats who defected from party ranks and provided the slim margin of victory.

In the wake of the defeat, some Democrats have begun wondering whether the 29 belong in their party at all. Says Crockett, What needs to be done is sort of a purge of people masquerading as Democrats. think certainly several of those Democrats who are subcommittee chairmen could be removed.

The next great ideological battle will take place this summer over, Reagan s tax cut proposals. The Democratic opposition, however, seems to have lost some of its fire. In Crockett s view, I think those Democrats who went over on the budget cuts are even more likely to vote for the tax cut. think Reagan is going to get his entire economic package.

I don t think it will do for the country what Reagan says it will. don t think it will stop inflation. don t think it will help employment. don t think it will increase savings or capital formation. think its going to be spent. think its going to show an increase in inflation.

A few years ago, during the Nixon era, there was a slogan: The people get the government they deserve. At the time felt the slogan was fairly accurate.But no more. Nobody s done anything to deserve a government like this. @

virtually to demolish all that array ofprograms so carefully constructed by the Congress. Simply by determining that poverty line was arbitrarily set at a certain low level, he would render almost everyone ineligible for the benefits that we as a Congress should determine.

ie Rep. Jim Wright, Texas

TI am especially unhappy that the minority has refused to provide the Democratic side with a copy of the Gramm-Latta package so that we can at least have the Democratic Study Group examine and summarize those statements for us.

We now have at long last the copies ofthe proposal. am told we have a grand total of 12 copies so far, which are incorrectly collated. It does not seem to me that is any way to run either a railroad or a legislative body.

Rep. Donald Pease, Ohio

I think it is very important that the American people understand that the entire Federal Government is, in fact, open for amendment. This document, which is some 500 pages thick, includes portions of law scribbled out, written in in pencil, changes in directions, projects have been added, and one does not know if they are new or existing projects. Authorizations have been moved from one year to another. Changes are made as to when programs are going to take effect. Page the front.

There is price to pay for everything. The President has paid that price by offering goodies like dams and sugar bills and so forth. We cannot compete in that area, but we certainly in\ the Democratic caucus can decide who sits with us and who does not. Rank and file Democrats in the House have had it. We havé been abused and betrayed by those who have accepted and benefited by Ahis party s support. We are really mad as hell, Mr. Speaker, and we are not going to roll over and play dead anymore.

18 comes at the end and page 450 comes at

Rep. George Miller, Calif.

Did any of you dream or were any of you told or was any hint given to any Member of this House that the Gramm-Latta provisions would grant totally and unilaterally to Mr. Stockman in the Office of Management and Budget the hitherto legal determination of deciding what the poverty line is or is not? Did we know that?

Well, stop and contemplate that. Contemplate the power. Think of the power that this would repose in the hands of one man,

Rep. Peter Peyser, N.Y.

Now the President has bared his teeth. He has shown us what he really wants. He does not care about cuts alone; he cares about rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies. His friends are those who do not need help and his enemies are those who do need help, but to the White House, that does not matter.

What happened yesterday, what is happening today in this House is a disgrace and the American people think are going to realize that.

PREPPIE PARADISE

Even though summer's far from over, The Shop for Pappagallo in the Fairlane Town Center is marking its summer lines down now to make room for the incoming fall gear. When you walk into the store, you are overcome by the cool fresh colofs, which tend toward the preppie end of the spectrum pinks, kelly greens, pale blues and aquas and the inevitable red, white and blue. Look carefully, though, at the canvas totes, which are especially attractive now because they've had one third marked off their pricetags. You can buy a straw tote now for $17, or acotton one with ribbon or without (pictured above) for just over $16. About the same price is a similar tote with a beautiful shell graphic. Summer sandals, expensive leather bags and a host of other summer finery is also cut to a fraction ofits original cost. Dive in and pick up a preppie pretty!

BOBBY McDONALD

Jazz is an art form that is practiced by thousands of musicians, but only few ever become full-blown celebrities. Whatever their talent, whatever their technical prowess and know-how, the great majority of these musicians will never receive the public acclaim or recognition commensurate with their artistic development, their years of sacrifice. But is these musicians, not the innovators or the celebrated superstars, who from day to day, and night to night dutifully keep the flame of the music burning. Bob McDonald was one of these unsung keepers of the flame. In his brief time among us, this fine pianist sought neither fame nor glittering awards a minimum of praise and chance to play few extra choruses _Were enough reward for him. first met him in 1965, several months after he had received his master s degree in music from Wayne State University. He was one of the regulars at the Artists Workshop, and knew from the first fist of notes thathe was very gifted player. Some weeks after this meeting, Bob took over the houseband at the Hobby Bar, and from there the course in his life was fixed music was his destiny.

If it is true that musical tradition, such as jazz, relies on number of capable but nameless and faceless musicians for its continuance, then it's sure to be shaky for while, cause one of its most dependable swingers, Bobby McDonald, is finally taking that well-deserved break.

BETZOLD'S CONSUMER GUIDE TO FILM (patent pending)

Pungent comments aside, my unique tripleaction rating system helps flush out annoying flicks and bothersome reels in the twinkle ofan eye. Here how it works:

*kkk* implant 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. Fout W s signifies either prodigal rock radio station or a movie of incomparable: strangeness. No W's means it's as ordinary as pair of year-old socks.

Z2ZZZ's are for sleeping; the more s, the more shut-eye you get for your ticket price.

_Ifa movie is totally without stars, W's or Z's, means either I've avoided seeing it because I've already had enough sleep, or its 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.

COUNTRY

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 it into 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 it doesn't here. The final sequence, on the French Revolution, is incredibly lame. Part II" is advertised at the end of Part I" quite coup; but otherwise History is just standard, mostly middling, Brooks, with the usual cast and the usual jokes. LOOKER. An intriguing conspiracy theory here that corporations would use computers to steal human features from magazine photos and use them for political advantage.

(Opens July 31.)

OPENING NIGHT. The new John Cassavettes film which has been put on the shelf because it lacks sex and violence and all those other fine qualities which make for commercial success, Opening Night cannot be shown in for-profit theatres. Cassavettes and the great Gena Rowlands star as two stage actors determined to improvise against the wishes of their play's writers. With The Killing of Chinese Bookie, which Cassavettes made in 1976 but which still hasn't made to Detroit. (Ann Arbor Film Coop, July 28.)

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. («ZZWW) The Lucasberg corporation, comprised of milfionaire B-movie rip-off artists George Lucas (Star Wars) and Steven Spielberg (Close Encounters), displays its latest piece of merchandise: hyperkinetic action adventure with Har-

tison Ford (AKA Hans Solo) as Indiana Jones, global cowboy archaeologist and Karen Allen taking Carrie Fisher's part as the tomboyin the Lucasberg boys club (where sex is avoided since it would sap the warrior's strength). Would you believe the vile Nazis are digging up the Egyptian desert looking for the Ark of the Covenant so that Hitler's armies -can invade Poland behind Jewish relic? Well, credibility has never been the Lucasberg long suit; here it's thrown out the window completely in the name of escape entertainment. But even the comiest of Hollywood jungle movies had characters and causes audiences could believe in and 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 become 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.

RUDE BOY. An unemployed 20-year-old becomes roadie for The Clash and learns about the music business. highly political rock and ? roll film. With Rock and Roll High School. (Classic Film Theatre, August 1.)

S.0.B. («ZZZZWWW) In Blake Edwards Hollywood, all the women are mindless, pawing nymphomaniacs, and all the men boozing, blackmailing boors. So who wants to pay good money to watch them fall through ceilings, steal corpses and get needles jammed into their butts? The director of 10 has an awfully flat sense of humor for man so obsessed with boobs. Yes, even Mary Poppins has breasts. Are you surprised to hear that? Would you sit through:two very boring hours just to verify that

assumption? Not even some very enikixering (and probably well-deserved) portraits of Hollywood studio executives can redeem this exercise in private vengeance.

STRIPES. Bill Murray joins the army and provides good argument for reinstituting the draft.

SUPERMAN II. («**xWW) Funnier and more action packed than the original, this sequel benefits greatly from new director, Richard Lester, who brings his tongue-in-cheek wit to the story of the Man of Steel coming to manhood. Three villains from Krypton, each with the same powers as Superman, arrive in an America full of billboards and fast food, and Lester has. a 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 and acted roles. Eschewing overblown intergalactic special effects, Lester's battles are more clever and enjoyable, and his hero much more appealing, than anything Lucas or Spielberg could dream-up. Great entertainment for all ages.

TARZAN THE APE MAN. In these modem days, it must be hard to find script suitable for the likes of Bo Derek, who was born to play Jane, so it back to grunting and swinging. (Opens July 24.)

13 SHADES OF BLACK. Post-war Hollywood directors turned out gang of bleak action movies based on detective stories of the 30s by the likes of Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane. whole generation of American audiences were fascinated with the tough, cynical heroes of these movies, but French film cfitics appreciated them at more than gut level: The intellectuals ise Europe admired these gang-

ster dramas for their taut, spare technique and dubbed the genre film noir. Noir became the most lasting American influence on the filmmaking world next to western, and inspired all the directors of the French New Wave. Thelatest Afternoon Film Theatre series presents baker's dozen of the best of these American classics, to be shown at p.m. daily except Mondays at the Institute of Arts for only buck. It's rare opportunity to widen an appreciation of cinema; for these are remarkable films. The series begins with The Phantom Lady, a 1944 murder mystery set in Latin jazz club July 712). Next is Murder, My Sweet, based on Raymond Chandler's novel, Farewell, My Lovely, with Dick Powell as Phillip MarloweQJuly 14-19). Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce plays July 21-26, followed by the 1946 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice (July 28August 2) and Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past (August 4-9). (Afternoon Film Theatre.)

ack in 1964, in a song entitled B Dancing in the Street, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas asked the world if it was ready for a brand new beat. There is a certain timelessness about that question; it is as relevant today as it was then. Now here's another question: Is reggae that brand new beat ?

had a dominating affect over everything similar around-them.

A strong interest in reggae was already on the back burner, so it was essentially just a matter of bringing that interest to the fore. And with the record sales of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and others on the rise, coupled with the urgency of the world situation, the time seemed to be right for Onyxz s plunge into reggae.

They know what they are doing.

of Detroit and Philadel-.

According to the members of Onyxz, who modestly promote themselves as Detroit s premier reggae band, it is, has been and will be (figure that one out). America heard and danced to the sounds phia. Now it is said that we should get ready for the Kingston sound Trenchtown to be specific.

The spirit. of Marley lives. It was sure alive the night we spent at Alvin's Finer Bar on Cass near W. Grand Blvd. (WSU campus) where Onyxz was laying down that beat, sending out the vibes and, it hoped, getting across a number of messages.

Onyxz plays reggae with such proficiency and with such a sense of involvement that one would assume they had been playing this kind of music for at least as far back as the Reeves record. With several members of the group wearing their hair in dreadlocks, the overall look of Onyxz is just right. Individually they are Khalid Shakur (group leader, keyboards), Malik Yakini (rhythm and lead guitar), Tani Tabal (drums), Farouk Z. Bey (saxophone), Kareem

was jammed to capacity. Most of the people were dancing reggae style, a smoother way of dancing that is quite unlike disco. These movements are cooler, less intricate, and the style does | not really lend itself to frenzy.

In the Detroit area there are believed to be no more than five reggae bands. The 10-member Onyxz was formed in 1978 though not as a reggae unit. At that time, known as Onyxz, Seal of the Funk, they were your standard funk band, dedicated to the proposition that all bodies were made for dancing. They gravitated to reggae after a certain realization hit everyone in the group at about the same time that in Detroit funk. bands are as common as fast-food eating establishments. Too much competition. Furthermore, George Clinton s Parliament-Funkadelic was firmly stationed at the top and subsequently.

Baaqi (lead singer, percussion), Anoor Radin (keyboards), Kevin Carter (lead guitar), Prana Anana (bass), Kamal .Amen-Ra (lead singer, timbales) and Chico Jackson (bass). (It is interesting to note that some of the fellows also work with other bands, not ey of the reggae kind.)

This particular Thursday night the band opened full tilt with something called We Came to Rock You. That got nearly everyone s Jamaican adrenalin flowing, and by the time they were halfway into their second number, an eneretic rendition of Eddy Grant s Walking

Onyxz was obviously pleased with all the swaying and dipping bodies before them, but, being true reggae advocates, they were not just there to make the people feel good, although that is a big part of it all. Many if not most of the dancers were probably not cognizant of the fact that a major purpose of reggae is _ to spread messages.

Nearly every reggae song carries a message of what the artist considers to be of great social, political or religious import. Subjects run the gamut from racism and oppressionto materialism, from crime to the virtues and plans of Rasta (god). After the show one member of Onyxz expressed bewilderment as to why more reggae is not heard on the radio. It never seems to occur to reggaeites that maybe the music tends to be too message laden and stylistically repetitious. These two criticisms generally draw a casual shrug and/or denial.

OPEN: Monday thru Saturday 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Sunday 12:00 to 5:00 pm on Sunshine, the smallish dance floor

Two recent events have, according to

Onyxz, played a key role in increasing reggae s popularity. One was Stevie Wonder s smash and surprise reggae single Master Blaster, which made the music more acceptable to many people (the Stevie Wonder seal of - approval you know). The other was, ironically, the death of undisputed reggae king Bob Marley. His death resulted in reggae music and, in fact, the Rastafarian religion and lifestyle, being given a massive amount of international publicity, more than either have ever had before. And Marley s fan activity goes on unabated, just aS though he were still alive.

Onyxz plans to be in the recording studio soon. In fact, the night we attended their show group leader Khalic. Shakur was in New York making and following up on record company contacts. They know that immediate and substantial airplay is in all probability not forthcoming, but there is comfort to be derived from the fact that the walls of opposition are at least being lowered. In the meantime, Onyxz and other Detroit reggae bands are seeing to it that the music is available to all who have ears to hear.

Marley lives.

This album showcases three

contemporary guitar virtuosi having fun. Serious fun, but fun nevertheless. The music is not _ preoccupied with the spiritual connection between music and life. It is not a glossy product for hip suppertime background. It is not another collection of crashing flamenco. chords and arpeggios.

John McLaughlin s tendency to expansiveness is neatly counterbalanced by Paco De Lucia s strong flamenco style, and everything is held together by Al DiMeola s more elegant, though still flashy, Spanish _ style. Everything on this album is performed on acoustic guitar, and all but one of the tunes is performed before a live concert audience.

The presence of an audience proved to be a distraction for me. The recording technique was adequate, but the applause, -hoots and cries of en-

The Furs are the kind of band take excessive pains to avoid. They're snotty, bratty, cranky, and petty, and obviously old enough to know better. They're so damned fashionably negative as to make the six o'clock

John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola and Paco De Lucia. couragement and appreciation coming from the audience during the course of a piece irritated me. It has always seemed to me that people who let out such noises are more interested in hearing themselves than in the performance. In any case, they add nothing to the music here. Only one piece, Guardian Angel, was recorded in a

studio, and it is one of the more successful tunes of the bunch.

My other major complaint is the choice of material picked for representation on the album. They are not very interesting.

Mediterranean Sundance, Short Tales of the Black Forest and Fantasia Suite are all compositions to be found on Al DiMeola s previous albums.

Furs in the same laboratory of techno-tricks he s used on his last 20 albums. Seedy stats, eh? Problem is, I love these goddamn Furs. Their self-titled debut album served as a soundtrack for me for months, especially during the Christmas season, when one sometimes needs 151 proof rock n roll just to tie one s shoes. The Furs was one long

While the treatment given them here is somewhat different from that given on the earlier efforts, 1 wonder why they bothered. The pieces are surefire: flashy, familiar and lots of Spanish influences. The audience loves them particularly the cutesy digression into the Pink Panther theme in the middle of Short Tales of the Black

song, pathologically relentless, the stuff of two-chord jokers having mastered the Dictators archetype of young, fast and scientific.

The arranging power is awesome, neo-panoramic in extreme. Picture 45 minutes of Hiroshima. Wedding Song, Pulse, Imitation of Christ and Sister Europe are like the hot scenes from a horror movie of Hitchcockian concentration. Some folks would call The Furs a classic. I call it homocide.

I wasn t so sure about the > new album, Talk Talk Talk. At first, found it irritating. The stuff I liked sounded like retreads, the new stuff like shit. But, boy, has it stuck. Pretty In Pink, So Run Down and Dumb Waiters pop up when I m shaving, swerving down Eight Mile, etc. Soundtrack time again. The Furs still ain't virtuosos, but they still somehow manage to swing John Ashton and Roger Morris guitars cut like the twin chainsaw blades of said Texas massacre. Ely still plays with lobotomati¢ propulsion, but its. terminally right. And while Butler ain't no Pavarotti, his gruesome growls got me, perfectly pitched vocal drumming with cretinous conviction. Lilywhite, regardless of his gizmo fetish, is still the best and most violent producer in rock 'n roll. Mr. Jones and Into You Like a Train will gnaw the skin off your brain. Wholesome stuff

These boy scouts'll be at Nitro July 14.

Forest. But there is very little of substance to them.

These guys can play like crazy. They are all over the fingerboard and play real fast. They have technique coming out of every pore oftheir bodies. But they play very conservative stuff on this album. The texture and timbre of each piece is very similar, basically a jazzy Spanish sound, whether being played as a duo or trio.

This is why consider this to be a fun album. There are no risks being taken here. No effort was made to try and explore the true range of three extraordinary guitarists playing together. The producers were content merely to let them have a. good time playing tried-and-true music before a receptive audience.

The serious part was the money to be made from providing something flashy and familiar. hope somebody hooks these three guys together again sometime and really challenges them. Then we would see a truly exciting album and not just a casually fun one.

Marches

Columbia Records (2-record set)

Some musics are not for everyday use. They re similar to cures for problems that end up as the roots of other problems. The occasional march never hurts most people, but after constant exposure, a headache. sometimes results from the stamping of feet in 4/4 time. Heard in moderation, marches can be useful (Perfect for some mornings «when it normally takes a couple of cups of caffeine to put things in synch.)

Whether you're as true blue as The Stars and Stripes Forever or as politically tainted as La Marseillaise, there are some marches here that should stir the bloed a little. If Sousa marches and Rule Britania aren't your idea of classical music, then consider the March of the Toreadors by Bizet or the Marche Slav by Tchaikovsky. The bases are all covered on this record, and the performances by Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic are fine. The 25 marches presented include all of the previously mentioned «titles, plus others that most people know but hardly ever remember the names of. Its not music that would play everyday, still, I'm glad to have the album for those special occasions. (Idon t mean candle-lit dinners either!)

About Time Records

Ronald Shannon Jackson is the only man to play and record with both Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, two of the major innovators in the history of black creative music. For many people this fact alone would be sufficient information about this artist. However, it is important to note that Jackson has emerged as a highly creative musician and composer in his own right. He is also aman with a clear vision of his aesthetic identity. It is this clarity of purpose and visionary perspective that distinguishes his music and marks his ensemble as a major contemporary force in world music today.

For over 20 years now many black musicians have been involved in developing a functional unity of the essential elements ofthe Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Funk and various stylistic forms of improvisational music. There has also been considerable interest in, and use of, traditional folk.musics around the world. It is this tradition that continues in the multi-direc- _

of Ronald the

Jackson, originally from Fort Worth, Texas, (a city that has spawned such outstanding musicians as King Curtis, Julius Hemphill, John Carter and Ornette Coleman), has been playing and recording in New York since 1966. Born in 1940, Jackson has performed or recorded with everyone from Albert Ayler and James Blood Ulmer to Betty Carter and. Stanley Turrentine. This wide spectrum of musical experience has had a profound impact on Jackson s aesthetic philosophy.

In Eye On You, Jackson s first album as a leader, he presents an intricate and emotionally compelling series of miniature sound portraits. It appears that Jackson, as a drummer and composer, has mastered the musical system of harmelodics created and taught by Ornette Coleman. This system allows all instruments in the band the structural freedom to create their own concept of the melody.

InJackson s music, all melodic and rhythmic structures are seen as dynamic interactions between notated and impro-

vised material. The ensemble emphasis is on_ collective improvisation and communication. This method insures constant textural and tempo changes and a broad expressive palette of instrumental colors. The result is not a mindless hodge podge of musical styles and aesthetic idioms, but a dynamic synthesis and extension of the philosophical and spiritual values in contemporary music.

Lest the reader get the mistaken idea that Jackson's music is purely cerebral in content, it would be wise to guess again. This band swings like mad! The ensemble sound is kinetic and explosive, warm and majestic. The music roars, caresses, teases and burns fiercely. Fiery and passionate, it is dance music for the soul. It is also this time zone s interface of New Orleans martial cadences (dig the pronounced two-beat booty licks), Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix rock riffs; hardcore African delta blues, stompdown R&B, enchanting Indian/Chinese ballads and a fascinating crossbreeding of the stylistic innovations of Coleman, Delphy, Ayler, Taylor and Coltrane.

The outstanding quality of this music destroys the facile and parochial categories of critics. This music s references and sources are atonce Western and non-Western, urban and rural, blues based and spatial, traditional and post-modern, notated and improvised. Jackson defines the Decoding Society as an organization that interprets and translates the musical and spiritual Barea

of the New World. To paraphrase the name of the small | independent label that Jackson records for, it s About Time. Kofi Natambu

HERE S WHERE TO PICK UP YOUR DETROIT METRO TIMES

INTRODUCES

+All the

he next time you hear Detroit criticized for a lack of style, remember that anyone can be fashionable. It s as easy as going to Lord & Taylor and asking the saleswoman for help. Nor does it take long to notice that following trends. and listening to the advice of Vogue or GQ can get very expensive..

Camouflage, alligator shirts and sneakers all too obviously reflect the Detroit fashion scene these days. But really now, there is no reason why you can't afford originality. Don't sit back and let Gloria Vanderbilt or Pierre Cardin dictate your wardrobe. After all, fashions are moods.

I'll admit it takes a little more time and taste to dress like Carole Lombard or Clark Gable, but its fun and certainly worth trying. Shopping even becomes more exciting as endless racks of colorcoordinated outfits are replaced with unique vintage and delightful nostalgia. Even prices are more attractive. Keep in mind that dressing can be more than just another necessary step toward getting out the door every morning; discover the alternatives that previously owned clothes have to offer. At least you know one other .person thought it was special.
