NAIVE

Hugh Grady s article on the All Peoples Congress (DMT, Oct. 15-29) was the only thing I saw in print to raise the issue of vanguard parties within APC and similar groupings. In this case the vanguard party in question was the Workers World Party. Based on everything I ve seen and heard, Mr. Grady s skepticism is well founded. Unfortunately, established publications, including The New York Times, appear to be naively unaware of the hidden agendas of groups like the Workers World Party.

I] have been enjoying Dan Acosta s superb arts coverage in the Metro Timesfor some time now. His recent article, What Price Sousa? (Vol. II, No. 1) was great, in that it provided some advocacy for artists. Hard to believe Americans can sit back and watch the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)' budgets slashed by 50 percent while military bands get more funding than: both NEH and NEA combined. have nothing against the Marines Marching Band, but it does epitomize the current administration s priorities.

It might be said that when a species, over an extended period of time, engages in an activity which threatens its very existence, that itis behaving in an irrational manner. There appears to be an international, somewhat spontaneous movement afoot, reminiscent of the Ban the Bomb efforts of decades past, that would. agree. As Reagan prepares the American public psychologically as well as materially for the possibility of a limited nuclear exchange that is - winnable, a massive protest movementis gathering. Last week over 400,000 people took to the streets in France, Belgium, Germany and Norway to oppose the Reagan _administration s plans to put Europe on the front lines of such a nuclear confrontation. In the United States, a national series of coordinated disarmament teach-ins will be held across the country on over 100 college campuses on Nov. 11. The local event, at. Wayne State, is entitled November 11 Convocation: The Threat of Nuclear War. For more information call 577-3453 or 577-3468 How pervasive is sexual. harassment?

According to a new survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health, one woman. in ten has probably been forced to, quit her job because of sexual advances from a boss. A recent study by the U.S. Merit Systems, Protection Board

found one out of four working women receives some form of harassment. That survey also found that a full 20 percent of the men interviewed, said they did not consider it harassment when sex was used as a condition of employment

Things are catching up with Michigan publisher John McGoff. The Department of Justice has~ announced that in return for immunity, two former officials of the South African government have agreed to testify in his upcoming trial. They confirm that McGoff received $11 million of government moneyto buy the now-defunct Washington Star and promote the interests of the apartheid regime.- When he was unable to make that purchase, McGoff allegedly used a portion of the-money to buy the Sacramento (CA) Union. The officials further charge that McGoff, who lives near Williamston, Mich., used some of theforeign funding for his pool, boat and house. McGoff still owns a number of newspapers and radio outlets including the Macomb Daily

The Guardian Angels were not rebuffed everywhere they. went in the Detroit area. Highland Park Mayor Robert Blackwell welcomed with open arms the crime prevention group and appointed a five-member committee to meet with them again.

The Michigan Avenue Community Organization (MACO) -also gave the Guardians a vote of confidence after a dynamic presentation by chief Guardian Carts Sliwa.

An Open Letter to Richard Nixon

by David Armstrong

Detroit Metro Times is pleased to introduce this, the first installment of American Journal, an occasional column of political and social commentary written by David Armstrong.

October 19, 1981

Dear Dick:

Congratulations on your umpteenth political comeback. Just when some people thought the garlic and the stake through the heart were finally taking effect, you ve returned to feed on the American body politic. Suddenly, you re everywhere: on the plane with Carter and Ford to Anwar Sadat s funeral; in Saudi Arabia on a private visit just as the sale of AWACs was being negotiated. hear you ve even kicked up a clamor at Duke by offering to donate your presidential papers provided the library is named after you.

not, right? And who cares about those other schnooks? Let them twist slowly in the wind. When did the bastards drive-you from office anyway 1974? Hey, this is 1981, and your legacy is shining bright. -

Just look at how the Reagan administration is handling the creeps in Congress. They re giving them a sword, just like you did. Over on the Hill the other day that s Capitol Hill, you remember your way around town, don t you? James Watt invoked executive privilege to deny Congress some papers detailing U.S. relations with Canada. .Executive privilege. You practically invented the term.

Then there s the gutting of the Freedom of Information. Act strengthened just after you left office, to help uncover what government is doing to folks. That ll teach your enemies in the media to come up with irresponsible stuff about you. Attacking this check on Washington is an interesting move for a president who promised he d get government off the backs of the people, isn t it? Sounds just like you:

Grant was a drunk, Coolidge was a mummy, Harding was a backroom card shark and Johnson was a reincarnated snake oil salesman. But you, [ believe, were our most unique chief executive.

Hey, its the least they can do. You ve come a long way since being disgraced as the gnome of Watergate a few years back. Why, with the blessings of the Reagan administration, you re undergoing a fullblown political rehabilitation. Even many of your once-discredited policies are being brought back to life.

Oh, there have been a few hurdles to clear in your bid for elder-statesman status. Those latest tapes were a bit sticky, weren t they? There.was that business about your not liking the Chicago Seven because some of them were Jews, and that conversation with H. R. Haldeman about hiring. some Teamsters to knock a few heads in the Washington May Day demonstrations. But then you ve always been tight with the Teamsters, haven t you? Remember when you used to play golf with Frank Fitzsimmons at LaCosta, and the union gave all that money to your campaigns? Those were the days.

Sure, your enemies gawd, there are a lot of them out there, eh? will try to make something of this. Call you an anti-Semite and a thug. And there s that new psychobiography by the late historian Fawn Bredie to deal with. It says you re a psychological basket case. because. maybe your father used to kick you, and that you couldn t tell the truth if your life depended on it.

Well, so what? She s dead, and you re

Most interesting, though, is the Reagan team s push to allow the CIA to ignore its original charter and spy on U.S. citizens, at home or abroad, whether or not they re suspected foreign agents. That'll shut up that small but vocal minority that has never liked things around here, right, Dick?

Hey, hope you don t mind me calling you Dick. I know its a bit familiar to aman who reputedly showers in a dark business suit, but like a lot of Americans, feel really know you. I mean, there are so many memories. You trotting out Pat in her respectable Republican cloth coat to save your skin in the Checkers speech. You talking football with a group of dazed students after the killings at Kent and Jackson State. You bombing Hanoi to smithereens during Christmas week, after you were re-elected by claiming you were close to ending the war. So many memories. You know, there has been a fairly strange assortment of characters in the White House over the years. Grant was a drunk, Coolidge was mummy, Harding was a backroom card shark and Johnson was a reincarnated snake oil salesman. But you, believe, were our most unique chief executive. So let the critics cry that you re an uncommon criminal who should be writing his memoirs in jail. Their words are no longer operative. Welcome back, Dick. Welcome back. Life without you just wasn t the same. @

significant new organiza-

A tion in the never-ending struggle to stamp out bigotry held its founding convention in Detroit last weekend.

Entitled The Arab Americans Come of Age, the conference drew nearly 200 members of the newly formed American-Arab Anti-Discrimination _Committeé (ADC) to its organizational deliberations, representing ADC chapters in at least 16 cities. ADC s chairman, former South Dakota Senator James Abourezk, report-ed that the organization has grown to 4,000 paid members. The convention s major=public event, a Friday night banquet, drew close to 500 people from Detroit s Arab community.

According to ADC s organizers, When the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee was founded a little over a year ago, Arab-Americans shared an urgent concern. Two and one-half million Americans of Arab descent felt the need to combat the racist stereotypes that had become a daily source of humiliation.

- The signs of this need were evident everywhere. Television scnipt writers, cartoonists and advertisers were all finding it fun and profitable to present Arabs as greedy sheikhs, terrorists, high rollers and incompetent louts. It was this mentality which spawned ABSCAM, an FBI scheme which used an Arab sheikh as bait in a scam operation. This ploy was an outrageous affront to ArabAmericans. The Arabs had become a scapegoat.

Mobilizing Against

The Other Anti-Semitism

ADC is firmly committed to an American and civil rights focus, not duplicating the activities of many other organizations focusing on Middle East concerns. Some of ADC s efforts are airned at winning victories which other national minorities secured years ago.

For example, derogatory references to jew or negro disappeared from standard dictionaries long ago because of civil rights and anti-defamation campaigns.

sheikhs. Hatred of Arabs is~a

booming growth industry, as one particularly vile venture by a major U.S. publisher shows.

close associates. Kahane s book includes the following Hitler-like passages:

incitement to violence against~ people of Arabic descent in this country.

Webster s

Yet the current edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Thesaurus lists arab as a noun with the following synonyms: vagabond, clochard, drifter, floater, hobo, roadster, street arab, tramp, vag, vagrant, duffer, hawker, higgler, huckster, monger, mongerer, outcrier, packman, vendor.

But getting rid of anti-Arab bigotry is More much more than getting rid of some anachronisms from a thesaurus or removing offensive cartoons of oil

In mid-October, 1981, Grosset and Dunlap is bringing out a book by Meir. Kahane .called They Must Go, a track which calls for the expulsion of all Arabs from the state of Israel. In its promotional campaign for the book, Grosset and Dunlap state that Rabbi Kahane is an internationally known theologian, leader of the Jewish Defense League, candidate for the Israeli Parliament and author of several best-selling books

Infact, Kahane is an American who moved to Israel to promote a Nazi-like program against the Arab population. He was briefly imprisoned by the Israeli government for a paramilitary plot to _ blow up the largest Moslem mosque in Jerusalem during Friday prayers. Explosives stockpiled for the operation were found in the possession of Kahane s

We know the ugliness of intermarriage, prostitution and sexual contacts between the Arab and Jewish women. The more the Arabs multiply and reach Jewish areas, the greater will be -the number of general crimes, and sexual crimes in particular, committed against the Jews. we propose a mandatory jail sentence of five years with no possibility of parole. This is for any non-Jew who has sexual relations with a Jewess.

For some reason, Grosset and Dunlap, one of the largest publishing houses in the U.S., feels that there is a sizeable American - audience for this latter-day Mein Kampf. (Kahane s ideas, at least in the form he presents them, have a very small though activist following within Israel.) The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee feels that the publication of such a book constitutes

In fact, the Jewish Defense League, which was led by Kahane while he lived in this country, has used firearms in at least four attacks on Arab-Americans and has been responsible for firebombing offices of ArabAmerican organizations as. well as Arab and East European embassies, according to ADC.

ADC s Executive Director, Jim Zogby, emphasized that the pub-_ lication of Kahane s book in America has to be seen in the context of the growing search for scapegoats for a society in crisis just as Jews were scapegoated in the 1930s.

The same theme was hammered home by representatives of the civil rights movement who addressed the conference on the need for Arab-Americans te recognize common concerns with Black people and other minonties who are targets of growing racist movements. Representatives John Conyers and George Crockett, along with Jack Odell from Operation PUSH, all speke to this trend as they addressedthe conference to welcome ADC s formation.

In coming of age, the ArabAmerican community is not only standing up for itself but beginning to take its place alongside the other communities which are victims of racism and bigotry in America.

Down to the Wire

Continued from the cover legislative strategy. It is a complicated campaign where public opinion is important as well as fundraising and our ability to unleash resources.

The political climate in the United States does have national aspects to it. Governors aspire to be presidents, legislators aspire to be congresspeople, they all intertwine. What we are dealing with is a federal amendment, so it is nationwide in scope. Not only are we doing all those things, but we are in courts fighting rescission in lowa, and we will eventually be at the Supreme Court level. think the fight is uphill, not because. the public doesn t support us, because they do; two. out of three Americans are supporters. It is uphill because it is a process where a handful of political people can stop us.

DMT: Most polls show that people are in favor of the ERA. Who exactly, then, is against it and why?

SMEAL: The Equal Rights Amendment is what we say it is; essentially a tool which will help women to have more power in the courts, legislation and programs of our government. The ERA will help women to gain more educational opportunities such as vocational education, more access to decent-paying jobs, and more chance of equal pay. Its all

Our - job, which been extremely difficult, is with resources that are still quite small we have had to reach the entire nation. The miracle is how many people we have reached and how many people are for it.

] think the reason the ERA is so popular is. because it touches every American family, and in» reality women don t want to go backwards. They need to they have to go forward. They want more for their daughters.

DMT: How do you respond to criticism that NOW has neglected other pressing issues and not adequately addressed the setbacks for women wrought by the Reagan administration in favor, of fighting what seems to be a losing battle for passage of the.. ERA?

SMEAL: We are one of the few groups who are consistently on the hill for womens rights all women s issues: social security, affirmative action, the abortion issue, family planning. Right now our people are fighting the appointment of Koop as surgeon, general; we are one of the few. groups that are. We re doing it

with more organization and skills than ever before, but there is. no question that the bottom line of equality for women is equality in the law. We cannot ignore this battle. If we turn our backs on the struggle for equality for women in -this century, who will fight it? We have a rare historical burden. We are the major feminist group in this country, in fact, in the world, and we could never desert this fight. We cannot ignore the reality that if it fails it is a true setback, economically, for women. The forces of the right wing that are fighting us on abortion are fighting us on equal rights. They are the same forces. We are not sacrificing any issue for the ERA, we're just giving more. We in no way will abandon any of the major issues of equality and justice for women.

DMT: What will NOW do if the ERA does not pass?

SMEAL: We cannot let that happen without having waged the

best struggle possible. A struggle we can build upon win or lose, we will be building. There is a chance we can pullit off, and if we do, just imagine what we have done for our daughters. If we lose, think we will: create a bigger backlash for having fought hard than if we go out with a whimper.

DMT: Do you believe the perception of NOW being a white middle-class organization is a valid one?

SMEAL: The National Organization for. Women is an organization of people, men and women, who believe in advancing women s rights. We do represent a variety of economic and racial backgrounds. The interesting thing is that the women s movement is the only phenomenon in

society that crosses so many lines. We have consistently been an ally of the civil rights movement. When we are on the hill fighting for affirmative action, we are not fighting on the basis of sex alone. We have consistently fought on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion and age. We are a major advocate in this society for human rights.

DMT: It has been said that the ERA is either the most innocuous or the most revolutionary piece of legislation to have ever been introduced.

SMEAL: A lot of people feel, from childhood, that the constitution already says that all men and women are created equal. But, it doesn t say that. The laws are quite discriminatory. If, in

fact, there was ever the elimination of discrimination in governmental programs and in laws, it would have a profound impact on women in their daily lives as well as their families, for the better mostly in the area of economics. The reason people say this is revolutionary, profound and radi-cal is because women have always been dependent and have never been treated fairly when it comes to that-bottom line. money.

happen to think there s another part of this that is profound. Many of the things that women are concerned about schools, social programs, their kids, war and peace have been diminuized in the decision making

of our governments. frankly feel that if women had a greater role in that decision making that those things affecting human services would be improved. The fact of - diminuizing our voices politically not paying much attention to us because we don t have the same economics and rights, frankly, has led to the conditions of violence in our society. NOW just wrote a position paper on women and the military. believe the very exclusion of women has contrib-. uted to war. If you exclude women and make what concerns. them unimportant, then their products, their children, are somehow dispensible for other people to use as pawns.

believe we have been the nurturers, the developers of people and have not taken for granted that resource. The polls show that far more women are against war, far more in favor of peaceful solu-tions than men. feel the changes for women will affect men and for the better. es a

THE CONTROVERSIAL BEIZOLD RATING SCHEME

Want snob appeal? Want to impress your friends at parties with your knowledge of film noir, auteurism, mise en scene and other French words which no one understands? Here s a quick and sleazy film rating system which will guarantee that you can one-up even Jack Mathews. Here s how it works:

&kk& Stars are for quality

WWWW Ws for weirdness

ZZZZ Z's for sleeping.

The more (up to four) the more. Four Z s isa sleeper; four W s is Strangeness itself; but don't bother to look for four * s, cuz Mr. Controversy is a snob. He don t give four-stars to anything that comes down the pike. If movie doesnt have any rating, missed it; and you ¢an figure - out whether I did it on purpose.

ALL NIGHT LONG. Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand prove that opposites attract, and that the Art Institute can show commercial flops. (Detroit Film Theatre, Nov. 6.)

BABY SNAKES. Or, A Movie About People Who Do Stuff That Is Not Normal, this is Frank Zappa's unexpurgated version of That's Incredible. Zappa's real people include clay animator Bruce Bickford; Phil Kaufman, the human trombone; original Mother Roy Istrada with his inflatable date; and, of course, Zappa himself, with concert footage of his annual Halloween live performance. All Mothers and others welcome. (Classic Film Theatre Ann Arbor, Oct. 30; Classic Film Theatre Punch & Judy, Oct. | Nov. 6, 7.)

BROTHERS. The story of George Jackson's fight for dignity and freedom despite his imprisonment. (Spark Film Series, Nov. 8, Cass at Forest, 7:30 p.m.)

DESPAIR. Dirk Bogarde stars as a Nazi factory owner who is driven by his madness to murder in this 1978 Fassbinder opus. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Nov. 12.)

DETECTIVE FILM SERIES. Concluding features are a modern European comedycaper classic, Dear Inspector (Nov. 8), from King of Hearts director Philippe DeBroca; and a police thriller about a sniper, Man on the Roof, by Elvira Madigan director Bo Widerberg (Nov. 6, 7). (Cass City Cinema.)

DISTANT THUNDER. (* * xx) Global politics in the waning years of the 20th century can be defined as the increasing demand of the hungry - peoples of the world for a share of the riches of the developed nations. The great director Satyajit Ray of India somehow makes the specter of famine palpable in this urgent, frightening 1973 movie abouta Brahmin and his wife whose middle-class existence becomes more tenuous with the growing tice shortage in their rural region. Ray's characters take on political dimensions by way of allegory as the film makes it plain that no one will be able to continue to hide in individualistic, affluent isolation when the starved legions of the world bring the war on hunger home. (Classic Film Theatre Ann Arbor, Nov. 4.)

THE FRENCH LIEUTENANTS WOMAN. (xZZWW) This film of John Fowles unfilmable novel continually sabotages the feelings it engenders by interrupting its Victorian saga with an annoying and unilluminating series of vignettes about the affair between the movie actors who are playing the Victorian parts. As an intellectual game, the modern oe

segments may have worked in the book; in the.

movie, it transforms what might have been a moving period drama into a stale, cynical exercise. Probably the Victorian tale of Sarah Woodruff, who exhibits a confused defiance of the ludicrous sexual mores of her day, and Charles Smithson, who overthrows respectability to pursue his mad love for the enchanting bad woman, would have stood alone as a pretty fair film, given the acting talents of Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons, and fluent directing by Karel Reisz. The script, however, offers a rather muddled view of Sarah's rebellion, indulging itself in the misconception that she must be suffering some sort of madness, and Streep doesn't help much with her sometimes distant performance in evoking our strong sympathies for her character's plight, as was accomplished in the somewhat similar tale of Tess. We ll never know how good a movie the central story would have made, though, given the mess this version, with its modem counterparts included, became.

ss - Toronto seems the capital of hip, though itisis really a straight-laced city of gray-suited bankers any place and time except Yonge Street on weekends. A drag queen and a scared schizophrenic woman are more out of place trying to live their lives in Toronto than they would be in - Anywhere, U.S.A.

PRINCE OF THE CITY. («***WW) Sidney Lumet s bewildering house of mirrors is about cops who cop dope and «cop pleas, feds who pick off hoods and cops with ruthless glee, and one man, Detective Danny Ciello (Treat Williams), caught in a fantastic labyrinth. Watching Prince, you learn how the criminal justice system operates on an endless round of bribes, deals; cuts and handouts, and you end up despairing how can such a complex interdependence of mobsters, junkies, police, lawyers, judges and government officials ever be unraveled? Lumet, with documentary precision, presents a parade ofinscrutable characters, just as they came at Ciello after he decided to cooperate with anti-police-corruption investiga tors. (Ciello is really New York City cop Bob Leuci, who came in in 1971.) Like a Kafka character, Treat Williams thrashes about, unable to discover who's really running things and who can be trusted. Prince is a fascinating excursion into another world, at the same time an indictment of an entire way of life and a close-up psychological examination of fear, guilt; betrayal and confession.

RAGGEDY MAN. («*xW) Forget Hollywood romances and costumery. This film does, providing us instead with all-tooteal difficult choices and a self-effacing courtship. Sissy Spacek plays Nita Longley, a divorced woman making ends meet by womaning a telephone switchboard in a company home in small-town Texas during World War Il.

the phone, Nita welcomes his affections cautiously, then realizes when the town s tongues start wagging that she can t make a love affair work. For a change in the movies, woman's children and job come before a happy ending. Directed by Spacek s husband, Jack Fisk, Raggedy Man is an impressive debut. Its strengths lie in its refusal to glamorize or to. villainize. Not just touches of authenticity, but a feel for it: the two town bachelors are as grimy and menacing as any you'd meet in a smalltown pool hall. Unfortunately, the effect is sabotaged by great swells of overly maudlin music and an unsatisfying ending that indulges in too many horror-film cliches.

ROCKERS. Reggae meets the DFT oad in what promises to be an interesting cultural stew. Like The Harder They Come, Rockers features island musician Leroy Horsemouth Wallace as renegade against the mob-controlled record industry. (Detroit Film Theatre, Oct. 30.)

TIME BANDITS. (Reviewed this issue) TRUE CONFESSIONS. (x*ZZW) Robert DeNiro isa (supposedly Irish) priest with more materialistic ambitions than piety; Robert Duvall is his compromised cop brother with a foul tongue, a grudge to settle and a real:-world morality that issuperior to his brother's, in this somewhat preachy movie about the creepingentanglements of little hypocrisies. Though the film s theme is a neat one, its character study is fuzzy, compromised by a script (by Joan Didion and John Dunne) which tells us what we should find out non-verbally. oe Grosbard s direction

is sometimes exciting, with documentary-like feel, but it's annoying when major characters mumble throw-away lines with their backs to the screen. Not much happens in the film except a slowly growing sense of transcendent -evil. Grosbard gives both Roberts a lot of space to display their considerable talents; if thisis a match-up, though, Duvall is the clear winner.

The man becomes his role, whereas DeNiro remains DeNiro. The script tries too hard for cheery gruesomeness and ends up with both comedy and grossness, in its obvious efforts to prove that people who must fightin the world out there are superior to those who hide behind their religious cloaks.

MANZU: PASSION, POPES AND SERENITY

by Dan Acosta

Above: Bust of a Woman, 964-

ho would've expected grab-ass from the old gentleman? Most Detroiters are familiar with W sculptor Giacomo Manzu from the classic beauty Passo de Danza in front of the American Natural Resources building (read: The Gas Company) on Jefferson. Downtown's chilliest lady stands gracefully on her toes as she uncoils her hair she s beautiful, she s sensuous. But few would banter a bawdy word at her (aside from the midnight mumblings of our nearby green giant, the Spirit of Detroit).

Now the Art Gallery of Windsor presents a fihe exhibit of 1 00 works by Manzu which suggests there s. more to beauty than serenity. There s enough grab-ass here to bring out the Italian in any of us. Lovers, a group of drawings and bronzes, have all the marks of Manzu fluent line and a rich, vital texture. They're also very erotic. The bronze Lovers on a Couch is no sofa with a hand-holding couple. Through a tangle of bare buns and legs, you see 'a woman straddling a man reclining on the edge of a rocker. Its incredibly dynamic.

The Meeting of Ulysses and Penelope shows just nee long husband and wife had been separated by the sea. The quick, spare lines have all the urgency of their reunion.-

Many of the Lovers are half-clothed which adds to the eroticism. Manzu s women are likely to have their heads thrown back in abandon, even submission. His men are more detached some wear hats while they seduce, some lift skirts as if it' were their right to firmly plant a hand on a derriere. In fact, Manzu is totally unabashed in showing his machismo.

Lovers aren't tender, but they certainly aren't coarse. ex have the sound and fury of real -passion both sexual and artistic. A

This 38-year retrospective takes a more-complete look at Manzu who's most often known for his sculpture series Cardinals and the Doors of Death at St. Peter's in Rome. We see his Chair and Striptease sculptures, his Odyssey illustrations, his delicate jewelry and the 3,500-~ pound Guantanamera sculpted in marble.

Manzu is at his best sculpting women. Many are busts and many use his wife, Inge, as model (she-was the model for Passo di Danza ). Apparently Inge has a calm* regalness because all these bronzes reflect that. Their garments are folded and creased like Renaissance drapery.

But more than drapery ties Manzu to the classical traditions of the Renaissance. Like the Florentine Donatello, he has a reverence for the human form and an ability with Christian subject matter rarely found today (although Manzu has done little work for the church since the death of his good friend Pope John XXIII). This marriage of classical tradition and contemporary treatment is Manzu s success.

Giacomo Manzu is one of Italy's most important living sculptors and has had too few shows in America. This show has toured much of Canada through the sponsorship of Rothman s of Pall Mall and will continue at the Art Gallery of Windsor prog) November 15. Its worth seeing.. and feeling. a >

song. Did it in a Minute is a personal favorite of mine, but the hooks within that song change so fast that don t think that it could be a hit in the traditional sense. Water strikes me as a good AOR radio tune.

Daryl Hall & John Oates Private Eyes RCA

Hall and Oates. Now there sa group in a difficult position. Because they sell well (at times), some people would disparage their efforts. If music sells and sticks to the evolution of a particular stylistic manner, does it necessarily follow that that music cannot be considered art because it's not experimental enough? According to my Webster's, art and experimentation are both words with definitions listing qualities that can be complementary to each other, but neither is interchangeable with the other.

Write enough tuneful; hummable material and the world should beat a path to your door, but these guys seemingly have to work their butts off trying to combat the attitudes of people who feel that havirig pop sensibilities forgoes the possibility of art. Apologists for Barry Manilow or Neil Diamond line up on the right, those for the Residents or the Gang of Four to the left, and the rest of you folks in the middle, just hang out.

Hall and Oates have come out with another in a seriesof

albums filled with tuneful, hummable material. Some prior© albums have caused me to bea fan of theirs, and others have caused me to wonder if they'd lost some of their vitality (let's consider X-Static). This new one, Private Eyes, is a consistently fine album that shows adding new, subtle touches to the basic formulas for their songs. There s still those white boy soul harmonies, but there s also some computerized vocal treatments ala Daryl Hall's recent experiences with Robert Fripp of the once and future King Crimson. Relatively flexible, danceable rhythms abound as before, but some of those accents come in at odd, offbeat moments.

Private Eyes, the title tune for the album, is also a current hit single and a strong, recognizable bit of music that fits in well with some prior hits of theirs like Kiss On My List from the Voices album or Rich Girl from Bigger Than Both of Us. New songs like Your Imagination have staggered rhythms. like something from Kraftwerk but with somewhat more flexible backbeat. There's also a marvelously short, succinct sax solo that fits in well with the line-dance feel of the

Yes, there are more tunes on the album, but space and time permit me little more room to comment: Suffice to say, thinkthat for a band caught between the proverbial rock and the hard place, between what some would deem art-and others would deem commerciality, Hall and Oates do real well to keep both their art and their lifestyles intact. Hey, if you can't dance once in a while, what's the point?

The Rolling Stones Tattoo You

Rolling Stone Records

Head Above say, the last Journey

What is it about the Rolling Stones that gamers such interest and enthusiasm each time they release an album or go on tour? Does it have something to do with the all-American pursuit of what is considered fashionable? Could it be that we are just so used to having the Rolling Stones around that we no longer insist that each new album be a pleasant listening experience and more pertinent than, album?

It seems that the American interest in being considered stylish plays a major role in the rock consumers infatuation with the band. Certainly the new music, and new is not really a

term that shouldbe applied tomuch of the latest album Tattoo You, plays but a small role. This latest studio effort, weak collection of songs to begin with, suffers from the similarity of half the material to previously recorded songs.

Yet the album has reached the number one position on the Billboard chart, and the Stones tour is drawing an incredible response. In the Detroit area, two shows are scheduled at the Pontiac Silverdome which will hold 76,000 fans each night.

The tour's opening show in Philadelphia drew 90,000 ticket buyers.

Few performers have the grasp of the concept ofstyle that Mick Jagger does. His ability to remain at the forefront:of the modem equivalent of a cafe society is truly amazing when you recall the band s roots as unruly social deviants. What is _even more surprising is his apti- ~ tude for relating to the large humber of fans who frown upon, even treat with sarcastic derision, the very type of jet-set. lifestyle that Jagger has so comfortably embraced.

All bands from The Who to Neil Young have admitted having a backlog of unreleased material. The Stones are not an exception. They just do not bother being subtle when they decide to release this material. Ample evidence of this was provided by the album preceeding Tattoo You which was aptly titled Sucking in the Seventies.

At least Neil Young has promised not to put out his stockpile of old songs until he has retired or died.

From the opening chords of Start Me Up, the album is dis-

appointing not only becausewe have heard all these songs somewhere before, but be~cause these reproductions pale in comparison with the originals. Tattoo You has everything from piano parts reminiscent of Fingerprint File and She s a Rainbow to a drum intro on Hang Fire borrowed from Where the Boys All Go. The most blatant reproduction involves the song Neighbours. This song seems to be a leftover from the Emotional Rescue sessions from the Stones last: - studio album. Neighbours is nothing but Send it to Me, Part IL"

Charlie Watts, whose drumming is generally a highlight ofa -Stones LP, seems to have finally run out of new approaches to striking his kit, and this problem is evident in the rest of the band's playing. The ultimate responsibility for this lack of direction must be shared by the group's songwriters and pro-. ducers, Jagger and Richards. There is barely even one decent guitar solo on the record and that one, on Worried About You, is a rehash of Wayne Perkins solo on Hand of Fate from Black and Blue. A person cannot help feeling worried when the Stones begin relying on five-year-old guitar solos. The album's only points of interest are Jagger's increasing reliance on a falsetto singing style on four of the record's eleven songs and the use ofjazz great Sonny Rollins. Rollins plays superbly in an uncredited appearance on three songs, but not even his sax playing can do much ~to improve mediocre material. s Thomas Van Tiem

A MASTER OF AMERICAN LITERATURE

by Melba Boyd

t is very difficult for many people-to I understand the significance of legacy and documentation, especially since the caretakers of culture are not celebrated like athletic stars and Hollywood queens. But even more significant is the need for Americans to realize the value of scholars and artists who undertake the awesome burden of untangling the misconceptions and prejudices most of us unknowingly espouse.

in 1901, who has become the.

The history of the Black writer in America stands on the pillars of persons like Sterling Brown, born in Washington, DG,, master of folklore, poetry and American literary criticism. Educated by Washington, D.C. s public school system, his formal training occurred at Williams College and Harvard University.

Very early in life, Brown devoted himself to dismantling the stereotypes of Blacks in American literature through careful scholarship and the creation of characters like Wild Bill and Slim Greer, each representative of the transcending spirit of Black culture.

In a rare Detroit appearance, Brown will read and lectute throughout the metropolitan area, Nov. 5-10. The 80year-old poet will be on an exhausting schedule, and the City Council will give . him the key'to the city and.a proclamation.

Dr. Brown's visit is attributed to the efforts of Broadside Press Theatre, The Phylon Society, The Center for Black Studies at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Walter Evans. Evans, who has admired Sterling Brown since 1969 when he heard him speak about the history of the Black American struggle, says - he is impressed with Brown's ability to express deep thought in simple terms.

get ready for 1982

When you read his poetry, its like listening to the blues, Evans said.

Sterling Brown's latest work, The Collected Poems of Sterling Brown, Harper & Row, 1980, will be on sale at each reading. The Last Ride of Wild Bill, published by Detroit's Broadside Press in 1975, will also be available for purchase. Anyone who has a limited knowledge of Black American life and literature should broaden their repertoire by attending one of the readings and by listening to this ageless griot on WDET s -(101.9 FM) Sound Projections," Nov. 6 at 10 p.m., and Dimensions, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m.

Sterling A. Brown has recently been the recipient of the Lenore Marshall/ Saturday Review Poetry Prize, given annually to the outstanding book of poems published in the United States. For specific schedule information concerning his Nov. 4-8 visit to Detroit, call 494-7454.

NIGHTSATURDAYLIVE

here was a year not too long ago when the highlight of my week was Saturday Night Live. That was a bad year in my life, but it may have been the best year of SNL. In the vast wasteland of television, SNL a

was something special, with its freshness, energy and systematic irreverence. Sometimes, it managed to do what art sometimes does, make us look at reality in strange and new ways a cheeseburger restaurant becomes living surrealism, barely edited news stories revealed as grotesque absurdities.

Best of all, SNL turned against its own parentage and made television itself its main target. Some of those fake commercials were beautiful exercises in how to break through the cultivated mindglaze of TV s mass audience. Once you've made the mistake of thinking it was a real commercial, gone through the stage of no it couldn't be, but yes it is, and then been brought up against a punch jine ( because we think you'll believe anything! ) no television commercial can ever seem quite the same agains

That's no small accomplishment in an advertising-crazed society. It may have been .SNL s main achievement, transcending even Chevy Chase s claim that he personally cost Jerry Ford New York state in the 1976 election.

Everyone knows what finally happened. First Chevy Chase; then John Belushi and Dan Ackyroid and finally the rest of the regulars left the show. NBC tried to retain its late night ratings supremacy with the same format, new troupe. And bombed. Late last year, onestime regular Al Franken asked viewers to write in. to support a Let s put Saturday Night Live to sleep campaign.

Instead; NBC is back this year with still another troupe, which premiered Oct. 3.

The first show was not very promising. Of course, as the case of Bill Murray showed, it sometimes takes time for the players to come alive for us, for us to catch on to what they're really trying to do. At first thought Murray really was a real estate salesman type. Maybe there s a sleeper in this new group but he or she certainly was lying low in the first show.

More than the players, the writing was mediocre (the old show had its moments of poor skits too, to be sure). It was as if the script were developed from a brainstorming session where the object was to find still more TV taboos to break through ( Oh, wow! What about a - funeral crashed by a schizophrenic boyfriend!? How about two nuns at the beach?! ) instead of developing comedy with a bite. Politically, the satire was especially insipid. Since we have Reagan and Al Haig to kick around Khadafy, its hard to understand why SNL bothers.

In fact, the two moments last Saturday that best evoked the spirit of the old shows were both real commercials. One is a new diet pill called Dexatrim, and the other the new Republican We made America tough again message. Both (inadvertently, I assume) had the spirit of grotesque surrealism that characterized the best of the old writing. Life imitates art.

All this was confirmed for me Monday, Oct. 5, when the real SNL began to be rerun on Channel 2 at 11:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. First up was the show s original 1975 premiere, Jerry Fotd jokes and all. laughed my head off.

Everybody knows Monty Python films are. too crammed with crazy, sidetracking wisecracks to be coherent entertainment.)

Well, think again, especially you drollers after recycled scenes from Hollywood vaults, . you action junkies who want spectacle and hype. Time Bandits displays far more creative imagination in one single scene than Star Wars manages in nine sequels.

(Well, there he goes again, getting hyperbolic. How can he say that? Seven of the sequels haven t even been made yet.)

But what if I told you that Time Bandits has R2D2, inthe flesh I_ mean smallish actor Kenny Baker, who plays one of a half-dozen shrimpy former employees of the Supreme Being who get the sack on the seventh day of creation? Mr. S. Being waxes vengeful dwarves took it on their own to create a 600-foot-high bright red, terrible-smelling tree called a pink bunkadoo.

Luckily for our: moral fiber, they first land in a suburban middle-class bedroom and sweep up Kevin, a young prisoner in the consumer concentration camp of_ toy fantasies. Kevin is innocent and doesn t believe in stealing from people, and thus becomes a real pain in the ass for the time bandits.

And, as they say in the moviereviewing biz, that sefs the plot in motion. And what motion! from Napoleon to Robin Hood, to the Titanic, to ancient Greece, to the Fortress: of Ultimate Darkness, Time Bandits is a revisionist

Sean Connery is Agamemnon, Cleese is Robin Hood, Shelly Duvall is in there somewhere doing Olive Oyl imper-| sonations, Peter Vaughan is an Ogre with an awful backache, David Warner is the Evil One who durns his hired hands into sheep, pigs and dogs, and David Rappaport (rescued from the awful Under the Rainbow along with several of his diminutive colleagues) is the leader of the leaderless band of bandits.

Time Bandits is not officially a Python movie, being co-produced by George Harrison (who .contributés a final song), but it involves. most of the Pythons, most notably director Terry Gilliam. And while it has perhaps less laughs per hour than any of the previous Python films, it is by far the most satisfying as a movie.

The Pythons were never just gagsters, though they remain fine comic writers. But the fascination of ther work has always included their creative approach to sets and design. Time Bandits is fun not only just because its funny,
