IT IS (NOT IS) A HIT!

by Herb Boyd

ou stare at the album cover a third time. Was (Not Was). Well, my funky comrades, which is it? And the photo whatis it?A lugubrious double exposure of suburban sameness? Tire treads? Rows of gravemarkers? What gives, Dirk?

You flip the album. More of the same: You open the gift, taking care not to look it directly in the groove. A furtive glance at the sleeve s stack of data. Still no clue. You place the black circle atop the spinning metal circle and wait. Suddenly: The woodwork squeaks/and out come the freaks. . .

Thanks Metro Times for that fine review of Prince s Controversy (DMT Sept. 17Oct. 1).

CONGRATS

Congratulations on the Free Press article. Its good to see the media moguls in this city are finally sitting up and taking notice of your fine paper. Funny, it seems as though all the stories that they say you wrote received scant coverage if any in their paper. Could it be that they didn t know about them, or is it that they chose to ignore those stories?

One thing that surprised me is that they hardly mentioned your art, music and

5 W bus number 5050 rolled out: of the Detroit Free Press parking lot on Sept. 18 bound for the next day s Solidarity Day march and rally in Washington, the passengers were 48 District 60 Machinists and two very special guests. Representing the Tenant s Council for their senior citizens high rise on Detroit s east side were Jean Line, age 70, and her friend Stefania Brown. They weren't just along for the ride. Interviewed after the trip, Line declared, I went to convince Ronald Reagan that he s been listening to the wrong drummer!

Though official figures placed attendance at the rally at somewhere around a quarter of a million, other observers placed attendance much higher some set the number as: high as 500,000. Whatever the actual number, thousands of those participants were Detroit-area _residents. Hundreds of buses, vans and carpools left Friday evening, drove all night to reach Washington in time for the march, only to return immediately over the same grueling 12-hour route.

The long trip didn t daunt the spirit of Line.

1 decided to go when I first heard about it. I figured I d walk if had to. am glad I got a lift on that bus though, she chuckled.

No stranger to activism, or to demonstrations, Line and_ her friend went to represent the interests of the over 200 residents - in their building. Initially planning to donate money to send other, younger people, the Tenant s Council decided to send their own representatives when space opened up with the Machinists. It s an activist building, Line _told Detroit Metro Times. When Carter was going to make cuts, we generated over 200 letters out of 240 people. Now we're still residents are taking part in the

writing letters but we re sending people to demonstrations, too. President Reagan s proposed budget cuts go deep into the pockets of the residents in Line s building. Cuts in food stamps, medicare and in-home services are likely to cause great hardship for some of the residents. Right now, the residents are trying desperately to save the rent subsidy plan.

rent subsidy program.

Rent in the 11-year-old high rise is $178 for a small but clean and efficient two-room _apartment. Those on the rent subsidy plan pay 25 percent of their monthly income; for those on the minimum social security benefit, rent is about $31 a month. As a result of the threatened federal cutbacks, many residents are worried that they will not be able to stay in the building.

Most of the people on the subsidy are women, explained Line, people who weren't factory workers, folks who did housework for a living or waitresses like me.

Asked what she took with her on the trip, she replied, Just comb for my hair in case somebody took my picture and my crutch-

es. Line suffers from osteoporosis and the aftereffects of spine and leg injuries incurred in a fall several years ago. a

~Several Machinists took a special interest in her comfort during the trip. They were nice youngsters. couldn t have been treated better by those boys, said Line. District 60 Machinists have equally glowing things to say about her. One Machinist report: ed, She was an inspiration to us. She walked the whole parade route and kept us going when we got tired. She s an example of what this demonstration was about, really.

Jean Line has been demonstrating and fighting most of her 70 years. She grew up in a Minnesota farm community where she was active in the fight for mortgage moratoriums. After moving to Detroit during W.W. II, Line was active in the civil rights and peace movements. Now that she has retired, she spends most of her time working on issues that directly affect the elderly. She is an active member of the National Council of Senior Citizens and is currently~ working tirelessly to save Social Security. She believes she is struggling to preserve all those programs that we had to fight so hard to obtain and that we - shouldn t have to fight to keep. People just don t think about us older ones and what things affect us. We can t even.decide which way. we want to die, now that the burial benefit is gone.

She finds little time for herself. Just when think I m going to find time to knit or read or do any of that old-lady stuff, hear about something else that s going on. One thing about Ronald Reagan, he s sure keeping us all busy. When asked if she felt the demonstration on Sept. 19 was successful, she replied, Oh my yes, it was a wonderful feeling there. The senators and the president know what will happen to - them if they don t listen to us. If I have to go back next week, | will. You couldn t stop me. Everyone else should go, too. r

The following interview with Congressman George Crockett of Detroit was recorded upon his return from a six country congressional tour of Southern Africa. The tour lasted from July 31 to Aug. 21 of this year and included stops in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia), Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa and Angola. The interview was recorded on Aug. 31 in Detroit.

DMT: As a Black American, how were you treated in South Africa, not only by the South African government but in general? What kind of reception did_.you find?

~CROCKETT: Of course was member of a congressional delegation. And, therefore, expected and I received perhaps treatment that would not ordinarily be accorded the Black traveler to South Africa. There was absolutely no discrimination with respect to any of the Black members of our delegation. We went and did whatever anybody else in the delegation did. Essentially we went and did whatever we wanted to do within limits. say within limits because the system of apartheid is such that a Black person whether he s a Congressman or not can t just go into any part of South Africa. Nor cana white person. A White person going into one of the black townships like Soweto has got to have a pass. Just like a Black person who is coming from Soweto and going into Johannesburg has to have a pass. That s a part of the way of controlling the separation of the races. But other than that, noted no distinction as far as my treatment was concerned.

DMT: Most people I think are familiar with the basic policies of the apartheid government of South Africa, but very few people have had the opportunity, such as yourself, to view firsthand the day-to-day reality what that apartheid policy means to Black people in South Africa. If you could give a thumbnail sketch of what kind of population ranges were talking about, what kinds of living conditions, economic opportunities and basic civil rights that are afforded Black people in South Africa, I think that would be of real interest here.

CROCKETT: Apartheid basically is a system designed to allow the white population of South Africa to have its cake and eat it also. South Africa has a very flourishing economy, but it doesn t have a white population sufficiently large to maintain that economy; and therefore, the economy is dependent upon cheap, Black labor. The total population of South Africa is about 26 million. Of that number, 20 million are Blacks. Two million are coloreds that means they re Indians or Orientals or a mixture resulting from the inter-marriage of Whites and Orientals or Whites and Blacks or inter-relation between then; not necessarily inter-marriage. So that s how the populationis divided.

Now there are definite standards of conduct for each one of these three categories and these standards are rigidly enforced. They are enforced by jailing and imprisonment without trial. One of the basic means of enforcing standards is the Pass Laws. All Blacks are excluded from

urban areas such as Johannesburg and Capetown. You simply cannot live there. However, those are the only areas in which you are likely to be able to work. So that you are committed to be in Johannesburg during the day time and to walk the streets and so forth, but only if you have a special pass which enables you to stay in the city. Otherwise, you will be arrested and detained. SS

That means then that the bulk of the population Black population in the vicinity of Johannesburg live out in a township roughly| eight miles removed from the city and known as Soweto. Soweto is about the size of Detroit, having a minimum (according to the best estimates) of a million and a. half people and a maximum of about two million people. These people have absolutely no control as far as the government is concerned. They are governed by commissions set up in Johannesburg. There is what at best might be called an advisory committee known as the Committee of Ten made up of Blacks who live in Soweto, but they have no power or authority whatever.

The streets are not paved, except the main and hesitate to refer to it as a thoroughfare I daresay the main means of ingress and egress into Soweto might be hardtop. There would be no curbs or sidewalks. There would be nothing but gutters along the side. But by and large the streets are rugged; the soil is that red, very, very red soil that reflects the presence of gold mining in the area.

=

Horrible living conditions. Blacks are not permitted to own real estate, and, therefore, they live in little shanties built by this commission that governs Soweto. When you approach the township of Soweto coming along the expressway, you look down and you see row after row of the same kind, style and color of housing. Each one is two rooms; for the most part there is no electricity, there is no running water, and the few instances where there is running water, the toilet will be outside. Hard up against the toilet will be a single spigot, and for all household purposes you walk out there with a pan and get your water and take it back in the house. understand that the houses average.ten occupants to each one of these little two-room houses.

As far as education is concerned, did see one or two schools. believe they were all primary schools. There is no compulsory education as far as Blacks are concerned, but they do have compulsory education for Whites and compulsory education for Coloreds. The so-called upper class, if you want to put it that way, would consist of will say not more than about 50 or 75 people of this million and a half that told you about. And they would be people who have studied for the professions of law or medicine and come back to subject themselves to the discriminatory living patterns of Soweto. There are very few South Africans who have achieved that level of education who are going ta come back to do that. The others will probably be professional athletes like the chap who understand is playing on the Johannesburg rugby team that is supposed to come to this country. But even they are not permitted to own real estate. In recent years, little section has been set aside, and in that section it is possible for a Black to obtain a 99-year lease to a small piece of property, and then he or she can build a house on that piece of ground.

from Southern Africa

Nigeria is our second largest supplier of oil. And they have already suggested that they have no reluctance cutting us off from that source of oil based on what we are doing in South Africa.

But the living conditions by and large are horrible. The people literally are in prison. You have to pass a road block at night to go in and to come out. Police check the passes to make sure that you are authorized to leave this physical imprisonment. I m told that there are only two roads leading into Soweto it s that isolated, and they maintain those two alone because it makes it easy to set up these roadblocks. The city of Johannesburg is reputed to have the largest number of tennis courts and swimming pools of any metropolitan area in the world. don t know how true that is, but that s what I was told when was over there. And yet there is only one hard surface tennis court in all of Soweto for the one and one-half millionpeople who live there. There is only one swimming pool in all of Soweto for those one and onehalf million people. There really was no library until a few years ago when our own Congressman Charlie Diggs, who was Chairman of the House sub-committee on Africa, insisted. that the United States Information Service create a branch in Soweto of the library that we were maintaining in Johannesburg. And to do so was in violation of a law. But the insistence of Congressman Diggs was such that the U.S. Information Service went on and put up the books and desks and tables, etc. in what amounts to roughly a room about 20 by 20 in one of the recreation buildings in Soweto, and that s the only library that you will find for all these people.

DMT: I have a question that relates to the rather widely reported incident that was very close to the day that you were leaving that country. | guess to back up in context, could we discuss a little bit the entire phenomenon of the Pass Laws and of the reforms so-called reforms that are being instituted at this time around what are referred to as homelands? Exactly what kind of settlement were you visiting at the time that incident occurred?

CROCKETT: You can hardly refer to it as a reform when a nation, rather than give up its pattern of racial discrimination, has decided to literally uproot 20 million people and move them over into one little part of the country that comprises about 13 percent of the total land area. And that is what is involved in this socalled reform movement that you are referring to. They have created a constitutional commission that is charged with the responsibility of drafting amendments to the constitution of South Africa that will permit them to do just this. They intend to set up what they call ten homelands, and they recognize ten tribal groupings among the Blacks. Every Black will be required to live in the tribal homeland that has been established on the basis of his or her tribal ancestry. By and large these Blacks themselves are not aware of any tribal differences. The government of South Africa is just ascribing tribal categories. These homelands are practically destitute; there is no employment. And think it is done intentionally, because; as said

at the outset, South Africa is dependent upon this large reservoir of black labor. So that by having the homelands almost less than viable itmeans that the male Blacks have to-come back into South: Africa to work the mines and the manufacturing industries there. They do that by_ getting a pass. The pass will permit them to come in, but they can t bring their womenfolk and their children. So what you are doing is going through a massive process of destroying the marital and family relationships.

As a means of fighting against that, typically down around the Capetown area you had an exodus of women and children from the homeland known as Transkei into the area of Capetown in order to reunite with their husbands. They couldn t go into the city of Capetown, and so they stopped and camped on a large vacant area outside the city. They had no shelter, so they walked around picking up pieces of wood, cardboard, tin, whatever they could find, and built these little shanties and that is where they -were living. The government decided to discourage that kind of migration, and the best way to do it was to come in and tear down the shanties and that is what they did literally bulldozed all of the housing that had been constructed. And this is during the winter season in Capetown. This is the winter season.

Our delegation, when we heard about this, decided that we should at least pay a visit out there so that we could visualize some of the worst aspects of the apartheid system. And we went out and of course we were confronted by the police and told that we could not stay, and since none of us were anxious to be locked up and miss our flight going up to Kenya, we left and went around another area and came in and got a pretty good view of what was happening. The day after we left they burned all of these shanties and then arrested all of the women and children including mothers with babes in their arms. And I m told that they are shipping all of them back to the homeland. If you want to call that a reform then that is the reform.

DMT: I understand that while you were in South Africa you made contact with a black trade unionist who is currently in prison in that country and that you have created some sort of adoption, if you will, of his case to publicize the situation. an you discuss his case? _

CROCKETT: It is: really primarily for the purpose of drawing attention to his case as an example of what Blacks are encountering in South: Africa.

Now, he was a trade union leader down in Port Elizabeth where you have a very large Ford plant and a very large General Motors plant, and he was the head of the union of black employees at these two plants. They were engaged in negotiating a new contract for improvement of working conditions for Blacks.

Evidently the South African government didn t - take kindly to that kind of negotiation, and so they arrested him and charged him with being in Port Elizabeth without having a pass. This occurred several months ago. He has not been brought to trial yet. When it became

certain that was going over to South Africa, wrote to the.South African government to request permission to visit and talk with Mr. Makanda. | didn t hear from them before went over there, but since I ve returned I ve received a letter from the South African Ambassador telling me what the background of the case was, that the case is still in litigation, and for that reason would not be permitted to visit, and he could not be permitted to tell me anymore about the case. But he did indicate that he would keep me informed of the progress of the litigation. That s where it stands now.

But the whole idea is to have members of Congress in effect adopt one of these unfortunate people as a means of, one, hopefully corresponding with them although am not persuaded that any letters that we send are actually received by them but, two, drawing the attention of the American public to what is happeningin South Africa. We do a lot of this with respect to claimed denial of civil rights in the Soviet Union and in so-called Eastern Block countries. We are always offering resolutions on the floor of Congress to condemn the Soviet Union for this or to condemn China for that and so forth, but we seem to be completely impervious to what is happening to Blacks in South Africa.

DMT: One final area that feel it is important to touch on has to do with the presence of American transnational corporations in South Africa. Regarding the role that they are playing there, there are those who have argued that in fact they are softening the extremes of the apartheid system by their mere presence and they they are a positive force. That there have in fact been, through the Sullivan principles in particular, efforts to create new standards of policies for those corporations in hiring and job descriptions and whatever. I m wondering what your view is in terms of what the real impact of transnational corporations in the economy of South Africa? A spin-off of that is that if there has been one single area of opposi-' tion to the apartheid government and policies in America it has been a move by students arid other activists to press for divestment of American corporations and all corporations as a way of taking some of the strength out of the apartheid economy there. I m wondering where you are on that after your recent trip there and what you ve seen and learned?

CROCKETT: Well, have somewhat mixed feelings on that subject. was real fortunate in meeting a Black who had been banned and who because he was under ban was really taking his life in his hands to meet with our American delegation. The only protection that he had was the fact that we were foreigners enjoying diplomatic immunity and therefore could not be subpoenaed to testify-against him when he was charged with violating the ban. In the course of that discussion the question came up about these investments and to what extent they were more or less giving the apartheid system a better face than what it actually had.

He pointed out a couple of things. He said first the level of American investment is not the highest. That the highest investment is what comes from West Germany and from the British. And that, therefore, if we pulled out all of the American investment in South Africa, almost overnight that void would be filled by increased investment from these other sources. That was his first point.

His-second point was that the presence of the investments, etc. does tend to give employment to the extent that the American companies are trying to live up to the Sullivan principles. He didn t put a great deal of store on that, but for whatever it is worth they are trying to open the doors for black employment and for more training, and saw some of that actually being done by Ford Motor Company at its plant in Port Elizabeth.

His final point was that if you have faith that the revolution is coming and that South Africa is going to follow the same road as all of the other countries in Southern Africa and is going to become a majority democracy with Blacks in the more dominant positions of leadership, then they will need allof the help they can possibly get. And to the extent that investments are continuing now, it makes the transition that much easier, and it will make it that much easier for them to carry on the government after they gain control. =

Now, you can draw your own conclusion, but before went over to South Africa think I was strongly in favor of legislation that is now pending in Congress that will call for prohibiting any new investments over there. But now, as said, I m not so sure. And | just might vote against such legislation.

DMT: What would you suggest to people who are in opposition to the apartheid policies of the South African government and wish to be active on that issue in the United States if divestment is not seen as an effective tactic? What other kinds of activities would you suggest people engage in?

CROCKETT: Obviously what ever means we have of bringing pressure on our government to change its position in respect to South Africa we have to do it. That means the usual lobbying activities, the usual demonstrations,the usual letter writing, etc. It would be good if we could get enough sentiment in the Congress so that we could pass a resolution mandating the State Department and the President for, for example, recognize Angola. To go ahead with UN resolution 435 to insist that South Africa get out of Namibia and give that country independence. These are things that we could very well do. Now there is a meeting, as said earlier, on the part of the ambassadors from the other Southern African countries with the State Department, and daresay that one of the strongest voices at that meeting is going to be the voice representing Nigeria. Nigeria is our second largest supplier of oil. And they have already suggested that they have no reluctance cutting us off from that source of oil based on what we are doing in South Africa. think thatis. some additional pressure.

don t know what else to suggest. have a pet project of my own, and I have discussed it with Congresswoman Chisholm and she agrees. We should get a high level Black delegation to go over and visit in Namibia and also in Angola and find out the facts with respect to this whole Namibian situation. And then come back and see what, we can do about alerting Blacks particularly and all friends of Blacks to increase the pressure on the State Department to do something about this situation.

TOHAVE HIS BABY BURT REYNOLDS PATERNITY

PARAMOUNT PICTURES PRESENTS BURT REYNOLDS in A GORDON/MOONJEAN/TOKOFSKY PRODUCTION PATERNITY .

Executive Producer JERRY TOKOFSKY

Written by CHARLIE PETERS Produced by LAWRENCE GORDON and HANK MOONJEAN. Directed by DAVID STEINBERG _'PS STARTS

ITIS (NOTIS) AHIT!

spinning metal circle and wait. Suddenly: The woodwork squeaks/and out come the freaks.

Thirty confounding minutes and numerous tokes later there is still no clarity, no answers. Printed lyrics will not rescue you. They do not cohere. Meaningless drivel? But you recall the advice of Tweedle Dee or was it Tweedle Dum? about words meaning exactly what they mean, . .no more, no less.

Face it partner, you're stuck in the middle of a sneaky but pointless contrivance. Next time, instead of useless questions and vainless pursuit, just get on up and dance. Dance yo ass off, cause discoing is the only sensible discussion for or response to Was (Not Was).

And dancing (not literary gymnastics) has been the general reply to Was (Not Was) and its catchy single Out Come the Freaks. Like a new anthem of the dance floor, Freaks is sweeping the nation. Heck, even white people can dance to this music, noted one local white music critic. Mutant disco comes of age. eee

In Chicago, the tune is busting the charts; in Detroit, it is outselling Ross and Ritchie s Endless: Love, and it is a spotlight selection on several radio stations. Aboard Electrifyin Mojo s Mothership, Freaks is a regular passenger.

Already the influential pages of Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, the New York Times and Melody Maker (front page) have featured articles and reviews of Was (Not Was). Generally, after the reviewer(s) have bravely endured a thicket of bewilderness, the judgments have been favorable. (Wonder howthe group would register on Michael Betzold s weirdness scale?)

Was (Not Was) how come this name looks like a runaway philosophical question? has been around for little over a year now (and many of you may remember the group s initial release Wheel It Out ), which makes the band just ja few years younger than Don Was son, who coined the phrase, and from which Don Fagenson appropriated his alias. Got it? Well, don t fret, Bunky, it doesn t get much deeper than this.

SPLICING FOR FUN (AND PROFIT)

~ IT know he didn t know what he. was saying, Was advised, but he sure said a lot.

The other Was brother is David Weiss, a former Detroiter, now jazz critic for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. We're beheaded, mean beholden, to David for the following bone moats:

Detroit Johnny doesn t wear no tie/cuz he says it hurts his neck.

Rock n roll can t teach me/ what the river said that night jumped into its beauty/and drifted out of sight.

Drink from bottle when home alone/Spank the kids with a fork/run the appliances

high speed all day/switch stations every five seconds.

These are some of the words,obviously out of context and devoid of music here, which moved Don to melody. David usually writes the lyrics firstand then come up with the music, Don explained. We've been working together like this since we were 12.

David and used to go looking for girls up and down Woodward Avenue, and when we failed to score we would go home and put together tapes. think it was some kind of catharsis for not scoring. That Was (Not Was) tone lingered in his voice.

Versatile musicians, Don, who produced and played all the instruments on last winter s popular Lions version of Another One Bites the Dust, and David, a fine alto saxist, are both quite competent on tape recorders, too. The two of them have been splicing tape for years, mostly in fun. In fact, Was (Not Was) began as

a lark, just a big joke. -

It cost only $450 to cut the album, Don laughed. We made up our minds to produce something that we really wanted to do. The whole idea, he continued, was not to give a shit make a statement, that s what we decided to do.

Surprised by the outcome? I m amazed, he said, at what s happening. It takes me out. And just think, David and wrote the hit single Freaks over the phone. He seemed to mull. moment on the improbability of the recent success. It really takes me out.

KICK .OUT THE. JAZZ-FUNK, BROTHERS AND SISTERS

And out is where a lot of intent listeners are left after an encounter with

- Was (Not Was). Frank Zappa meets P-Funk is one unholy amalgam bandied about in an attempt to freeze Was (Not Was) for further examination.

Depending on which cut grooves you (or what groove cuts you), you might detect a rhythmic nuance a la Miles; a harmonic pastiche suggesting Ornette Coleman; a solid slice of commercial buy me balderdash; or extended moments when the music is simply transcendent and nondisposable, especially when the haunting blend of trumpeter Marcus Belgrave and saxophonist David McMurray surfaces.

One look at the list of 40 or more, fairly disparate, musicians on this album, and.itis-clear why this music defies category. At one extremity is: Belgrave, who is about one album away from heavy national recognition (he appears as- guest artist on new releases by McCoy Tyner, David Fathead Newman and Mickey Tucker), offering tasty morsels of mainstream jazz and, at the other extreme, there s Wayne Kramer, of the fabled MC5, and always an exciting soloist, showing again the firepower of Detroit rock n roll.

J like all kinds of music, Don confessed. That s why we put all these different pieces together. We wanted something right down the middle. From a marketing standpoint we're in a kind of no man s land.

Marketing people know we're not Prince or Rick James, and they know we re not Journey or Rush, but they still are not sure what category to put us in. Marketing people can be very reactionary.

Just as he is adamant about retaining his musical eclecticism, Don also prefers to work with musicians on a one-to-one basis in the studio. This way they hear only what want them to hear. It is also easier and cheaper in the long run. Eleven musicians in a studio at one time can be hectic.

A studio creation, Was (Not Was) will be a touring band by Oct. 1. (See Listings for schedule of local appear- | ances.) Unfortunately, jazz lovers, neither Marcus Belgrave (who is already touring with Mercer Ellington s band) nor David McMurray will be available. But Kramer and a plethora of P-Funk alumni should keep things hot, weird and interesting. By the way, backup singers Kim Heron and Ruth Seymour, of the Freep, are replaced by ex-Brides of Funkenstein, Dawn Silva and Lynn Mayberry.

A hit record also means that its back to the studio. Can t you see it: Was (Not Was) Once More. Well, whether you're ready or not, plans are underway for more of this playful anarchy from ZE Records and its number one money maker. Albums featuring Sweet Pea Atkinson, who is the lead singer on three tunes on the Was album, and rocker Christina, are also scheduled for the near future.

For a project that began as a joke, the only laughing heard in these parts belongs to Was (Not Was) on the way to the bank. Its enough to want you to Not give a shit.

Clearly, Was (Not Was) is, and by the looks of things, will be. However, only a righteous authority of such wide-ranging, free-wheeling hodgepodge could rightly say: Bill Rowe, where are you now that we need you?

TS Surprised by the outcome? I m amazed, he said, at what s happening. It takes me out. And just think, David and I wrote the hit single Freaks over the phone.

RATING SYSTEM

The following ratings have been approved for use in the Detroit Metro Times by Reverend Jerry Sinwell and the Immoral Majority: *xxkx are the conventional film critic's measure of quality, from four (masterful) to none (miserable).

WWWW:s indicate degree of Weirdness. The more W's, the more creative strangeness you should expect, to good or bad effect.

ZZZZs are for sleeping. The more Z's, the more shut-eye you get for your money.

No parenthetical ratings indicate the reviewer has been unable to screen the film before press time. (The reviewer tries to screen as many as possible but is hampered by the fact that this paper has only one private jet, which is (of course) communally shared.)

THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS. (**«*) Pontecorvo's scathing study of the death of colonialism in northern Africa is both war movie and human-interest story, both social satire and political tract, grimy, dusty, ferocious movie. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Oct. 8.)

THE BIG SLEEP. Bogart double bill, with The Maltese Falcon. Is there anyone who hasn't seen these movies yet? (Detroit Film Society, Oct. 9, 10.)

BODY HEAT. Lawrence Kasdan, author of currently running Raiders and Continental Divide, makes his directorial debut with this lush and steamy romantic mystery. Body Heat does what The Postman Always Rings Twice failed to do; and that is rivet the viewer. Kasdan 's camera caresses the contours of stars William Fart and Kathleen Turner like an avid lover,

which only eames the eee fonenal chemistry between the two. The plot and score are more than bit like that of Polanski s unbeatable Chinatown, but the puzzle is wonderfully deep and dark. And so is the ending, which depicts truly new embodiment of amorality, one that only the 80s could foster. Peter Ross CABARET. Bob Fosse masterpiece, with Liza Minnelli beltin em out and Joel Grey hoofin it up in early-Nazi Berlin. (Cass City Cinema, Od 23)

CRIA! (****xWWW) Many filmmakers have tried to depict the world as seen through the eyes of child, but none has succeeded in evoking the terrible anxiety and strangeness of pre-adolescence like Carlos Saura has in this incomparable movie about decisive summer in the life of young Spanish girl. Cria! is one of the new masterpieces of the 70s, featuring landmark performance by Geraldine Chaplin (Saura s wife) and directorial tour de force that partakes of the extremities of sight and sound. Cria! is all at once domestic melodrama, psychic journey and profound social statement. Saura perfectly comprehends and makes patent what psychological trauma means, without ever lapsing into the gloom of Bergman, and while maintaining throughout the exhilarating worldview of an imaginative, Sutsy, yet bafflingly buffeted little person. Saura makes reality look and feel as strange as it often is.

(Wayne Cinema Guild, Oct..13.)

DETECTIVE FILM SERIES. Guns are smoking in the Unitarian Church, with the first of eight suspense sagas. Oct. 4: The Thin Man, original 1934 version with William Powell and Myma Loy. Oct. 11: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1939 version with Basil Rathbone and Ida Lupino. (Cass Gity Cinema.)

EDVARD MUNCH. A repeat DFT showing of Peter Watkins weird film about weird Dutch artist. The film and its subject matter are each notable for taking fresh approach to the ordinary aspects of personality and existence.

(Detroit Film Theatre, Oct. 3.)

GAL YOUNG UN. An independent American film, made in 1979, about romance between widow and young:con man in rural Florida in the 30s. Detroit debut. (Detroit Film Theatre, Oct. 2.)

GALLOPOLI. Australian iiedicr Peter Weir (The Last Wave, Picnic at Hanging Rock) details the globe-trotting friendship of two young men. HITCHCOCK RETROSPECTIVE. Early works of the master of suspense continue Oct. with his first talkie, Blackmail, followed Oct. 11 bya whodunit, Murder, featuring shocking (for 1930) transvestite. subplot. (Detroit Film Theatre.)

HOSPITAL. (x **WWWW) Frederick Wiseman convinces us never to get sick enough to be admitted into hospital by showing us what goes on inside typical urban medical monster. Not to be confused with the later, funnier Hospital with George C. Scott; there s not too much to laugh at here, though plentyto scoffat. This is vision of almost everyone's pitiable future. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Oct. 15.)

KISS ME DEADLY. Mickey Spillane Nick Hammer goes sniffing around to find some missing plutonium in this 1955 flick, closing out the Film Noir" series. (Afternoon Film Theatre, Oct. .1-4.)

MOMMIE DEAREST. Though there's no shortage of emoting in Mommie Dearest, viewers who slaver in hope of seeing a full-blown character assassination or resurrection will be sorely disappointed. Faye Dunaway's Craw-ford is magnificent facade, woman whose smallest gesture amplifies itself but gives no clue as to its origin or authenticity. And director Frank Perry doesn't help bit; it's extremely difficult to decide just what he means us to feel and think, even when he gets the cast to pour on the tears and the anguish. Diana Scarwid as the adult Christina seems perpetually sedated, and Mara Hobel as young Christina simply cannot act. The sum total is picture of sumptuous surfaces and no substance.

MOSCOW DOES NOT BELIEVE IN TEARS. Audiences and critics alike were stunned when this then-unknown Soviet export won last year's Academy Award over Truffaut's sure bee The Last Metro, dut now that tne tilmis making its long-overdue appearance, it easy to understand how happened. Moscowis avery quiet, very understated work of extraordinary emotional clarity and power, non-epic like Tree etm the Wooden Clogs. It traces the lives ofa small group of women friends who grow older and, in some cases, wiser, pursuing their hopes and dreams, always looking out for each other, and often on the lookout for love. The picture is not specifically feminist but is distinctively rewarding in this light, since gives Western viewers chance to see how feminist objectives are formulated and frustrated behind the Iron Curtain.

PRINCE OF THE CITY. Treat Williams (Hair) plays Bob Leuci, New York City narc who exposed the corrupt practices of his fellow cops on the city muchpraised Special Investigative Unit. Sidney Lumet directs this film, which has Serpico overtones, and is something more than the ordinary police drama. Andrew Sarris has likened this movie to surgical incision into the corpus of our society. (Opens Oct. 2.) RICH AND FAMOUS. Candice Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset are old college chums who stay close as their respective careers unfold. (Opens Oct. 2.)

THE STUNT MAN. (*xZWWWW) Unusual ideas and fluid camera don't compensate for an unbearably long, sloppy and ultimately hokey imitation of Fellini. Richard Rush's recycled movie about Vietnam vet wanted by the cops who stumbles onto movie set and becomes stunt man for tyrannical director (Peter O'Toole, acting god-like on his crane) backs off from drawing any damning conclusions about the relationship between war and war movies. The ending is Hollywood copout, but at least Barbara Hershey Seagull Hershey is back to being sweet and clean. (Detroit Film Theatre, Oct. 9.)

What is B'stilla? To answer an often-asked question, B stilla is the name of a rich Moroccan dinner pastry which is highlighted on our varied fresh food menu. What exactly is a fresh food menu? It is fresh ingredients in all our entrees, sandwiches, salads and soups. It is a variety of very fresh fish ordered daily to insure that quality. Even the salad dressings and tartar sauce are made, you guessed it, fresh on the premises. An uncluttered European atmosphere is the final fresh ingredient in our quaint restaurant. We try to create the kind of atmosphere that lets you relax and enjoy your good company and our good meal. If you want to bring your own bottle of wine, that s great; however we doexpect to be serving spirits by the holidays. We're also in the process of planning a full four to five-course, fixed price, Moroccan feast, but that s in the future and we'll keep you posted.

Quality is like buying oats. If you want clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, ifyou can be satisfied with oats that have already passed through the horse, that comes a little cheaper.

It's becoming more and more obvious. that one of the little luxuries of life people are reluctant to give up, even in less-thanbooming times, is dining out at a nice restaurant.

People may dine out less frequently and they may trade down to a less-expensive spot, but the dining-out habit persists. And that s good news for a certain type of restaurant: a place which manages to keep prices in line while offering some of the amenities we've come to expect an agreeable setting and service as well as food of a reasonable standard of quality.

The Balloon Bar

For the most delicious hamburgers this side ofanywhere, try the Balloon Bar on Northwestern Highway..Their juicy 1/2 and 1/3 pounders, topped with grilled onions and washed down with a cold draft beer, will please even the most discriminating hamburger lover. People come miles for the Balloon Bar's incredible homemade onion rings. Other specialties of the house include homemade fries, a huge stacked ham sandwich, great fish filets and kielbasa. But the Balloon Bar is best known as a Drinking Bar. The friendly atmosphere, busy pool table and video games, guarantee a good time. Hours: 7 a.m.-2 a.m., seven days a week. No credit cards.

28705 Northwestern Highway (South of 12 Mile Rd.) 357-1066 .

The Boston Fish Market is good example of the genre. It was described to me by one of its frequent customers as the poor man s Chuck Muer's.

It offers appealing value for the money: dinners at the Boston Fish Market are predominantly in the $5.95 to $9 range, including soup and salad bar, and even the drinks are affordable. A halflitre of wine, for instance, is $3.50, and fancy mixed drinks, of the strawberry daiquiri/pina colada ilk, are $1.85. And I liked the fact that the place has come up with a couple of nonalcoholic fruit drinks which they list along with the stronger stuff.

.. The Boston Fish Market uses as much fresh fish as it can obtain, particularly white fish, perch, pickerel and flounder.

. We were pleased with the quality of the food and the cheerful service. And we didn't have to change our pleased expressions when we got the check.

NEW MOVIE!

STINKS!

by Mikal Snell

66 Orit smn Divine.

With so much gloom and doom, the hottest ticket in town is an invite to an orgy of shylock and trashy tastelessness. Polyester. The movie of movies.

This is the tenth film for John Waters, who is director, writer and producer. Polyester was shot on location with a budget of $300,000 and was entered in May's Cannes Film Festival.

In Polyester, Francine Fishpaw (Divine) presides over a bunch rowdier by far than any others. Her husband runs a movie house specializing in kiddie porn; her daughter trucks around with vicious punks; her son is a criminally insane foot. fetishist. Only Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter), Francine s dream lover, offers any hope for spiritual regeneration, for he-is everything her husband is not: handsome, roughly debonair, and the owner of an art drive-in that shows Margurite Duras triple bills. Best of all, he is in love with her. or so it seems.

Francine should have known something would go wrong. She has, literally, nose for trouble and so does the film. Polyester is the first film in Odorama, a wonderous screen gimmick - that allows the movie audience to smell what Francine smells. Viewers get a scratch 'n sniff card upon entering the show. Throughout the film you are asked to scratch at the appropriate moments.

Tacky, tacky, tacky. That is the aim and achievement of Waters. The decor of Francine s home is purely trashy; her husband breakfasts on Pepsi and Kix;the family dog leaves the message Goodbye Cruel World and Hangs itself from the refrigerator door. Discretion and good taste preclude revelation of the specific odors unleashed here, but be warned: this film is not rated R for roses. had a-chance to speak with Divine briefly last night on the phone. The following is part of that conversation.

slim, broke at the time and they were waving money in my face, so did them. But thien they flopped. And it all came back on me: The public usually forgets about it but I never do.

Q: What's been your motivatioh or inspiration in life?

A: I've always wanted to be a movie star, to be famous, to make people laugh you know, the American dream. just love to do it.

Q: Do you enjoy being famous?

Q: What should Detroit expect to see when you are here on October 2?

A: Well, basically it will be a big party for the movie. I will host it just as if it were my own party. It'll be fun!

formed in 1969 by lead singer Fintan Henk. TRH stands for Third Raphael Henk, which is quite a mouthful and was derived from Fin Henk s given name of Fintan Raphael Henk Ill. It's good to see a record bya group who stuck it out for so long without becoming jaded. The band s positive attitude is evident in the grooves of this disc, and the time that they have put in as seasoned musicians certainly hasn't hurt them. The record has received favorable response recently on WRIF's Proving Ground show and has been selling briskly in area record stores. (See how just a little airplay can help.) TRH are planning to record an album in the very near future, which assume will also be released on Jeff Ettinger s Jett Records. (No address given on the label but don't think you'll have much trouble tracking this record down.)

Cadillac Kidz Going Out 7 Neighborhood Girl

Detroit Blues BandIt Should Have Been Me"/ Friday 13th

When the Detroit Blues Band plays a local club, its usually to a standing-room-only crowd that is truly devoted to this cooking group. Ifyou haven't already seen them, you can now get a taste by picking up their new 45. The A Side is a righteous cover of a rather obscure R & Bclassic by Memphis Curtis. The group presents an arrangement of the song that reminds me of the original Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen Band. The B Side is an original instrumental written by the band, which gives them the opportunity to stretch out in their own inimitable fashion. The dual harmonicas.of Bob Rabaut and Garfield Angove, coupled with the strut-and-shuffle-style guitar of Emmanuel Garza, make this side a real scorcher. Get it while it s hot!

David Todd s Breakaway All Want From Love / In the Back of My Car

Rascal Reporters

Guns for Jerry's Kids / Sete Beatrice -

Apologies to Oak Park's Rascal Reporters. This unique - 45 got lost in the shuflle over the last few months and only yesterday mysteriously reappeared on top of an ever-growing stack of Detroit-area records. suddenly realized that this little disc was the proverbial one that got away. I had immediately played and liked this record, when I first received it in the mail and had intended to mention it sooner. Better late than never, right?

The music on this disc is of the more experimental variety, but it is nonetheless upbeat and very enjoyable. Upbeat? yousay with a titlé like Guns for Jerry's Kids ? Okay, I admit that the theme and the lyrics don't sound like something you'd take home and play for your grandparents, but bet there are lots of things you listen to that you don't play for your grand-_ parents.

In this case, the sound: is much more important than the lyrics. It becomes very apparent after one listening that this group of musicians has worked very long and hard to achieve this quirky sound. Other groups like Hatfield and The North, The Residents, Henry Cow, The - Zooks (local), The Muffins and The Art Bears, have previously tried this kind of turf. Beatrice (the flip side), my personal favorite, features the guitar of Marc Silver. The Rascal Reporters are Steve Gore, Steve Kretzmer and Paul Kretzmer. They are also assisted on this record by Nelson Past on saxophone and Cydney Larkin on vocals. If this style of music is your cup of tea and you would like to hear more of it, the Reporters have two limited-edition cascettes available called Freaks Obscure

What have we here? A beautiful ballad of love (the enduring type) suitable for airplay on those Beautiful Music -type tadio stations, coupled with a raucous and rippling tune celebrating teenage lust. A breakaway indeed! The creative songwriting of David Todd shows that we are capable of showing all types of emotion. This record happens to be a favorite of oneJ. Kordash, who slings hash for another local publication, Creem magazine. Mr. Kordash is still trying to figure out why such a clean-cut looking group is glowing on their record cover and what they are breaking away from. can at least assure him that they are not from Three Mile Island. David Todd, Gary Tessoff, Annette Gennari and Mike de Martino have broughta class act to Fiddlers Records. It will be very interesting to watch what this group comes up with next, so don't touch that dial.

The Kidz have successfully bounced back since the departure of former lead guitarist Cameron Wesley. This has brought the talents of Dan Cadillac as songwriter as well as lead guitarist to the forefront. The Kidz have become a tight little combo as a fourpiece, and the sound they achieve, especially on Going Out, is dense and formidable: You can hear traces of The Who, which may be due to the similarity in the voices of Spaz Seville and Roger Daltrey. Spaz has a melodic and ranging tenor, which has been much underrated on this scene.

One constructive criticism to the guys (or maybe Scam Records): although yellow vinyl looks neat, plain old boring black would give you a brighter quality pressing. (For the folks out there who aren't aware of it, the reason most records are _black is due to the fact that a substance known as carbon black is added to the pure vinyl, which is clear, as astrengthener. The origins of colored vinyl in the fifties and sixties provided the record industry not only with a profitable sales tool but also meant that if you bought a record and played it a lot and wore it out, you had to go out and buy another copy. So much for the history lesson.) This record is an all-around good effort by a rocksteady band: (Scam Records, 18055 James Couzens, Detroit, MI 48035.)

Dread Wave Part I/ Dread Wave Part II (12-inch single)

The group On-xyz is unique to Detroit in that it is one of the few practitioners of reggae music around the local scene. The form of reggae that they play is unique, because it is cut with several different styles of contemporary music indigenous to the Metro area. Call it heavy/funky dance music with more than a touch of the islands and you would be correct. Dread Wave is the title of their first record release, which comes in a format usually associated with disco singles a short version (4:30) and a long version (8:20). The song, written by K. A Shakur and Farugq Z. Bey, has a base riff and theme not all that different from the early seventies hit by Gary Glitter called Rock and Roll (Parts 1 and 2). The steamy percussion tracks are polyrythmic and truly infectious. Itisthelead guitar playing, though, that is so striking as it comes snaking out of all this lush jungle fever to grab you and invoke the spirit of Jimmy Hendrix (the sky meets the land in the ghetto and shines!). This single was recorded at Superlycks Studio and is available on the Solar Sundance record label. Do yourself a favor and catch On-xyz live some night at Alvin's Twilight Bar or several other Motor City clubs and join their growing audience.

BACK-TO-SCHOOLDESIGNER FASHIONS

NEW

by Roberta Lynch

FASHIONS SIGNAL RETRENCHMENT

t is ironic that the saying goes I Clothes make the man when itis in fact women who are most often made or unmade by the way they dress. Men's clothing styles change little with the times, and doubt that the average male expends any more energy in maintaining his wardrobe than he does §n maintaining his car. Nor does anyone care much about the end product as long as his tie s on frontward and he s not wearing a kilt.

Perhaps they didn t say Clothes make the woman because it was so close to the unpleasant truth of the matter. Perhaps they preferred not to acknowledge the domination of the fashion industry over individual preference, the long hours before department store mirrors, or the urgency oflooking right by whatever standard prevailed.

The women s movement set out to change all that. Women should wear comfortable clothes, it said. Clothes that stayed around year after year like familiar friends. Clothes that drew attention for their bright colors or their lively patterns, not for their cut or their pull.

In the course of a decade the changes were widespread. Women of all back-

grounds and races began to choose clothes that complemented their life styles, jobs and personalities. Older women started to pass up the flowered housedresses to which they'd been rele-

gated in favor of slacks and loose-fittingtops. Femiale construction workers strolled the streets in work shoes, overalls and flannel shirts. Nurses shifted from confining straight-skirted uniforms to comfortable pant suits.

Nor were all the changes on the practical side. For instance, beautiful silky fabrics that felt as good as they looked became common. Overall, clothing became more varied and less contrived, more attractive and less restrictive. should have known it couldn't simply go on that way. Our dress is, after all, a product of our times. And as the cause of equality for women has met frustration and reversals, it shouldn't be surprising that our clothing seems to be hearkening back to an earlier time.

To begin, there are the shoes. Highheels are back in style. Thin high heels. The kind you can t walk in only wobble.

Then there's the slit skirt. I suppose I should be relieved that women aren't beihg required to wear skirts so tight they can't move their legs more than two inches in any direction (remember those

days?). Still, this new version isn't a whole fot better. In return for the freedom of movement provided by the slits, there's compulsory sexual advertising.

Yet for all its obvious sexual components, this new look doesn t represent any greater freedom of expression for women. Sexually, it is a return to dress as a form of titillation. It is playing to a male audience, rather than an emergence of some interior sense of our sexuality.

Nor is it actually very free. For all its bravado, it is essentially a carefully controlled look. Hair is sleek and coifed. Make-up is neat and restrained. Suits are tailored. Nylon stockings are a must even on the hgttest days.

Riding to work each day in the midst of it all, can't help but wonder why atfter a decade of personal, social and professional growth women seem to have fallen back on the old stock in trade, our looks, for our security.

suppose you could simply chalk it up to the whims of fashion czars and their ability to shape our choices. But I have a feeling there s more going on than that. It seems to me that it all has something to do with fear and with power.

As more and more women begin to excel in traditionally male fields, to gaina

measure of influence in the world where it has always been denied them, there is a reaction on the part of men. The fear that they have always had of women a fear that could be contained by restricting the female to a limited social sphere starts to assert itself. Today, men may let women pass them the hammer or buy them a drink, but there is a deep underlying resistance to our very presence in their world. _

may be reading too much into an exposed thigh, but I think that this latest style is essentially the uniform of guerrilla warfare. In the face of male backlash, we're trying to hold the ground we've taken by whatever means we can. We know that we've come too far to go back now. Yet we're no longer sure where forward is and we're unwilling to let go completely of what we know for what is still only potential. So, as in all protracted struggles (and. what could be more protracted than this ancient battle between the sexes?) this is a time for retrenchment, for renewing our vision, for recharting our course.

A REFRESHING APPROACH TO HISTORY |

Selma,Lord, Selma: Girlhood Memories of the Civil Rights Days by Sheyann Webb and Rachel West Nelson as told to Frank Sikora William Morrow and Co. $4.95 (paper)

by Jane Dobija

eaders of books about American R history don t know whom to believe anymore. They're inundated with new titles by authors from Right, Left and Center who contradict each other on even basic facts about our shared past.

But author Frank Sikora has found a way to avoid such bias in writing his book about the civil rights movement entitled Selma, Lord, Selma. When Sikora did his research, he steered clear of politicians and academicians who were sure to give him their own purposefully tainted versions of that movement. Instead, he sought out witnesses who were children when they began marching for their rights, witnesses who would have little reason to be anything but candid and plainspoken when they describ-

ed the struggle that began in Selma and later spread to Montgomery. -

Sheyann Webb and Rachel West Nelson provide the voices for this oral history. Sheyann was eight and Rachel ten when the meetings started at Brown Chapel AME Church in their neighborhood. The two girls weren't prompted to join the civil rights movement by the activism of their parents or teachers. In fact, adults would turn to them for information about the marches and agitation for voting rights planned at the Church. Sheyann recalls that when her teacher learned the reason for her frequent absences from school, She questioned me. about what was being planned

We talked for about ten minutes. | had edged toward the door then, and Mrs. Bright said, Now you be careful out there, child. And come back to your class as soon as you can.

Sheyann promised that she would.

She and Rachel soon found themselves center stage as the bards of the Selma meetings. In the early organizing days, they were singled out at church meetings to lead the congregation in song. I sang, Sheyann remembers, and the people all joined in. After a few stanzas of Ain't Nobody Gonna Turn Me Round, I noticed Rachel was up there
