JAMAICAN SOUL MUSIC ARRIVES Reggae Rocks Detroit

by Herb Boyd

Everyone s feeling pretty

It s hotter than July

Though the world s full of problems

They couldn t touch us even if they tried

From the park I hear rhythm

Marley s hot on the box

Tonight there will be a party

On the corner at the end of the block earing this sound, these lines, two Hi: are unmistakable: the artist is Stevie Wonder; the pulse, the musical format, is reggae. Ofcourse, this is by no means authentic reggae, but it is to Wonder s credit, to his wizardry that this tune, Master Blaster (Jammin ), from his latest album, Hotter Than July, (See Record Reviews), comes as close as it does

Jimmy Cliff

to approximating the genius of Bob Marley, the man he extolls in the song. Marley and reggae (which is roughly equivalent to soul ),-for the uninitiated, are musical forces from Jamaica that are inextricably linked. To mention one is to infer the other. True, it has been Marley (and the Wailers) who have been most responsible for introducing reggae to the world, but, as with most cultural developments, he is only one of several important innovatorsReggae, a music that is characterized by an incessant,.almost hypnotic beat and by lyrics which highlight oppression, Rastafarianism_ and West Indian history and culture, first gained a brief popularity in the

last sixties and early seventies. Much of the following, then, did not come as a result of Toots Hibbert s seminal recording Do the Reggay, but from Eric. Clapton s cover of Marley s I Shot the Sheriff.

y 1973, with the coming of Jimmy

EB Cliff's portrayal of Outlaw Ivan in the movie The Harder They Come, raggae was beginning to push beyond its cultic confines. The anticipated boom, however, was completely muffled when disco roared onto the scene in 1975.

Now, with disco spinning on its lastlegs, there appears to be a reggae resurgence in the makings, at least-in some parts of the continued on page 8

ERROR

In the Oct. 30 issue, Bill Rowe s coverstory on the local new wave music scene contained an obvious error. He says that the A-Moms were the only band in town to feature a Black member. . He s forgotten the Cult Heroes, fronted by Hiawatha whose personal history in the local music scene extends back to beinga member of the Rainbow People s Party with the MC-5 in the 1960s.

Hope your newspaper is a success.

NO RHETORIC

I am writing to disagree with Bernard Rice, who said in your Nov. 13 Letters

column that your paper has nothing new to offer because you exalt the mayor. You are the only paper in Detroit that seems to cover news in a progressive, well-written manner, without kneejerk rhetoric.I agree with Rice that the Mayor can stand some criticism upon occasion. hope you will continue to critically analyze each individual issue, rather than the personalities involved. That s the kind of paper Detroit needs. My subscription is enclosed. Good luck!

We of the Reagan for Shah Campaign celebrate the recent victory of the Moral Majority and the election of Ronald Reaganas president of the United States.

We will continue the campaign until that glorious day that Ronald Wilson Reaganis coronated first native born Shah of the Americas. We feel that this proposed institutional change is of ultimate importance continued on page 5

NEWS High School Students Decide to Fight

by Sandra Tomilenko

A legal battle that will define the Constitutional rights of students is now brewing in the federal district court of eastern Michigan.

Three Westland Memorial High School students have sued the Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board of Education for policies, the students say, deny them their Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

The*seniors, Edward Wofford, Laura Homer and Beatrice Peak, are opposed to waivers they have been required to sign in order to use the high school parking lots and lockers. These waivers give school officials permission to search automobiles and lockers without obtaining a police search warrant.

With the help of their instructor, Lynn Ehrle, and attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, the students filed suit last week requesting declaratory relief from U.S. District Judge Horace Gilmore. The case could set a precedent that would directly affect high school students in eastern Michigan.

Winters, President Robert F. Reichard and SuperintendentTimothy J. Dyer are named as defendants in the suit.

The development of the waivers, Simon said, is a calculated response from the American Association of Secondary School Principals to a 1969 US. Supreme Court decision stating students are protected by the Constitution, and an_ opinion released in spring, 1980 by Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelly.

Kelly s opinion states Michigan students have Constitutional rights, and searching students, their cars and lockers withoutpermission is violating~ these _rights.

The students agree that the Supreme Court decision. and Kelly s opinion have effected the new school policies. According to Wofford, parking and locker rules were not enforced two years ago" when he was a sophomore.

Currently, Peak does not have permission to use a locker. She refused to sign the waiver, she said, so she carries her books and coat to her classes. =

Judy Pintar, also a senior at Wayne Memorial High School, said she signed the waiver be-

Howard Simon, director of the Detroit chapter of ACLU, said he has heard complaints from across the state that the use of search waivers is coercing students into surrendering their rights.

Dialogue is a regular feature of Detroit Metro Times and is intended to offer a diverse range of opinion on subjects of importance to Detroit-area readers.

Bill Rowe s article, Hard Day s Night in Motown (Detroit Metro Times 10/3011/13) raised some interesting points concerning the Motor City s original music scene, but as a whole contained many inaccuracies. As a musician for the past 12 years, a devotee of past and recent awakenings in local original music, and currently Director of Special Projects at WRIF Radio, have a different view of the Detroit music scene. | would like to take issue with Rowe on several points.

Firstly, in discussing the club scene, Rowe seems to indicate that there has not been much development in Detroit concerning the number of establishments presenting bands that feature original - material. On the contrary, the Motown club scene has never been more supportive LETTERS CONTINUED and that Ronald Reagan is the most qualified man due to his absolute strength of character, genuine Hollywood charisma and white-hat image. Back in 1968 when he was governor of California, he said the Viet Cong should go to bed at night afraid that we might use atomic weapons. Obviously, he speaks from the heart of the Moral Majority.

The Campaign will be making future appearances in Southeast Michigan, par-

cause she was warned by a school official that if she didn t she would not be allowed to register for classes.

Principal of the high school, Francis E. Winters, said the students claims concerning the locker policy are not true. Beatrice Peak was never required to sign anything, he said. But the students say that in

of original music. As recently as a few years ago, you could not find a bar in the city that would feature bands playing original Rock & Roll, with the possible exception of a room like the Wagon Wheel, which, for the most part, booked jazz acts.

Today, there are clubs all over the Metro area that feature original music. Besides the clubs mentioned in the article, many of the traditional Top-40 rooms are devoting at least part of their schedule to original acts.

The most glaring error in the article was _the assessment of Rock & Roll radio s support of local music. How can Rowe write an article criticizing WRIF for nonsupport and a lack of innovation without the slightest mention of the substantial efforts. WRIF has made to highlight local Rock & Roll bands? Here are just a few of our efforts that somehow failed to materialize in the article:

September their protest against the locker policy was so evident it forced Winters to announce, onthe loudspeaker, that he promised to throw away the forms.

Winters also said in an interview that if he and the other defendants lose the right to search lockers he could simply remove ~ the locker:doors.

Along with the school board,

MOTOR CITY MUSIC WEEKENDS: For the past three years, the Labor Day weekend on WRIF has featured nothing but Rock & Roll made right here in Detroit. This year we also highlighted Motor City Music over the Memorial day weekend as well.

There you have a brief outline of WRIF s efforts to support the local music scene. It is inconceivable that none of these _programs were even mentioned in an article that was supposedly the result of an investigation into the city s local music scene. | also found it interesting that there was no room inthe article to mention the rock station that seemingly has done the

liked the article very much. Keep up the good work.

Morris O. Williams

Social Science instructor Ehrle was approached by Wofford in September for advice on how to eliminate the waiver policies. Ehrle, a member of the ACLU for 15 years, arranged for the student s initial contact with the attorneys.

Ehrle said the students reactions to the waivers reflect the fear generated in society by an unawareness of basic rights. He also pointed out other areas where students are deprived of their rights.

There is a lack of due process during suspension. procedures. Often students are judged by thevery_persons who charged them -with violating the rules, he told Detroit Metro Times.

Attorney for the students, Elizabeth Gleicher, said she became interested in the case because she believes a purpose of the educational system is to teach students about their rights and responsibilities as citizens.

Tf the schools are violating the law, then students can never be expected to respect the law, she said. -

least to support the local scene, WABX. certainly hope their full-page advertisement on the back of your newspaper had nothing to do with this omission.

_In conclusion, I think it is safe to say that Rowe missed some things in his investigation. The local Rock & Roll scene in Detroit is healtheir than it has ever been. However, as with any situation, there is still room for improvement. More club owners need to recognize the potential of original bands for their rooms. Local promotors should consider the use of more local acts to warm up concerts for the major touring bands that come through town. Most certainly, the other rock stations in Detroit need to mirror the commitment WRIF has made to Motor City Music, to help spread the word: Detroit Rock & Roll is happening.

Mark A. Pasman Director of Special Projects, WRIF

Part 2

by Michael Betzold

mmett Moten, Jr., director of the City of Detroit s Community and° Economic Development Department, says its the biggest urban redevelopment project in history.

Coleman Young refers to it as possibly the most important undertaking that has taken place in Detroit in many years. :

The Poletown Neighborhood Council calls it taking private land for private purposes, and is trying to get the courts to throw it out as unconstitutional.

However its referred to, the bulldozing of the area between the Ford Freeway, Mt. Elliott, Hamtramck and Widman Avenue is a land grab of giant proportions.

General Motors wants the 500 acres to build a new automobile plant, and the City of Detroit is performing masterful legal and financial magic tricks to make the area s 3,500 residents and 150 businesses disappear.

In the half a year since GM first announced it had its eye set on the northern part of the community now popularly known as Poletown, the city has worked cease-

lessly to turn the property, mostly privately owned, over to the gigantic private corporation in the name of the public interest to keep perhaps 6,000 auto assembly jobs in the city. Elected and appointed public officials, without consent of the city s or the area s residents, have:

@ Mortgaged the future of the city s neighborhood block grant _program in order to help finance a huge federal loan to acquire the property and clear the land.

@ Approved a 12-year, $105 million tax break for GM.

@ Ignored requests from legitimate neighborhood organizations, such as the Poletown Council, to meet to discuss the project.

But prestigious attorney Jason Honigman, hired by Mayor Young to defend the city s actions, stepped into the lower court for the first time in 20 years, and, while so stopping, argued that what s good for GM is automatically good for the public. Creating new jobs, Honigman maintained, is a legitimate public purpose, which seems to give any governmental body license to confiscate private property to turn over to any business which provides jobs. In effect, business new job is more important than homes.

with the project, it demanded and got a 50 percent reduction in property taxes for the next dozen years an abatement estimated to be at least $105 million.

(When the Central Industrial Park Citizens District Council the official community input body appointed to help administer the project appeared a few weeks later before City Council, it demanded and got a tax abatement for residents of $1,500 to be awarded if taxes on homes they relocated to were higher than the taxes they paid in the project area.)

While telling the city how big a tax break it wanted, GM also made its purchase offer of $6.3 million for the 465-acre parcel. It is estimated that it will cost GM $50 million or more to build the new Cadillac facility. Thus, the tax break amounts to twice the amount GM will pay to buy the land and build the plant.

Borrowing from Peter. .

ow does a debt-ridden city, which has been laying off police and cutting back on essential services as its

budget capsizes, get the money to buy hundreds of acres of land, assist residents and businesses in relocation, and clear the site?

Answer: Its officials take numerous plane rides to Washington, where they get federal officials to agree to loan them money that will be paid back with money pried out of other federal officials on subsequent plane rides.

It used to be called borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. The twist here is that Peter and Paul both work for Uncle Sam but under different administrations.

Paul is the Housing and Urban Development Agency, which agreed last month to loan Detroit $60.5 million, the largest amount ever awarded under HUD s Section 108 program (the previous largest was the $30 loaned to Detroit to finance the Joe Louis Arena).

Peter is the city s annual $64 million block grant entitlement, which is collateral for the HUDloan. This federal money is used for various community improvement projects but is awarded separately each year. The city has some of this year s money ready to help repay the loan.

Repaying the remainder of the HUD loan depends on the city getting enough block grant. money under the Reagan admintration, and using the grants as a repaying mechanism could jeopardize many other necessary community improvement projects over the coming year.

Other federal grants and loans have been applied for but are not yet approved. It is estimated the city needs a total of $200 million to finance the project. Where it will get the remainder of the money and how it will pay all the loans back will likely be decided on future flights to D.C., but Mayor Young no longer has a friend in the White House. And that can mean the people of Detroit may be left holding the bag.

Testifying last week in the Poletown Council s suit to stop the project, city Planning Commission head Donald Brownell.« admitted that the gap between the money the city definitely has to pay for the project (a total of $75.6 million) and the money the city needs ($200 million) put the project on a tenuous basis. If the rest of the dough isn t conjured continued on page 10

Poor Face Cuts

by J. D. Snyder

LANSING We ve got to make these cuts equitable, argued State Rep. Charlie Harrison, a progressive Democrat who narrowly lost his Pontiac-area district in the Nov. 4 Reagan landslide. He was speaking of $73 million that was to be cut from the state Department of Social Services (DSS) budget, a portion of the current proposed $288 million state budget cut. Governor Milliken recommended an 8.7% increase over fiscal year 1980 expenditures in the overall DSS budget, but dramatic rises in General Assistance and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) caseloads continue to strain the state s depressed budget.

Nowhere has the devastation of the national economy on Michigan been more evident than in our public assistance caseload, Milliken stated in a statewide televised speech on Nov. 12.

The number of families receiving Aid to Dependent Children payments continues to grow by more than 2,500 families per month a rate unsurpassed in our history. The number of _ individuals receiving General Assistance payments is growing at the same

rate and has more than doubled this year. Just since reported to you a month ago, our projected welfare costs have increased by $96 million. ~~

- He explained that those added to welfare rolls are people who never dreamed they would need public assistance, but who have reached the end of their economic ropes.

Their unemployment benefits have expired, they cannot find a job, and they have nowhere else to turn for the basic resources needed to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads, the governor said.

Trapped between the state s lagging revenues and the relatively strong vote (44%) for the

Tisch property tax cut, Milliken, with the blessing of legislators, is pushing to cut into the bone of the - state s 1981 budget to the tune of $288 million rather than raise any taxes in order to balance it.

The state is required by the state Constitution to have a balanced budget and is currently operating with a_ three-month continuation budget pending the Legislature s adoption of a budget for the whole fiscal year. The 1981 fiscal year started Oct. 1.

The biggest cuts in the current recommended $4.5 billion budget are in education ($132 million), mental health ($28.7 million) and social services.

Wayne State University, for instance, is slated for a $6.5 million cut, and its President, Thomas Bonner, has announced a 10% cutback in the school s budget. He also said a temporary tuition increase is possible for January.

Wayne County Community College interim president, William Herbert, said his school s open admission is in jeopardy as a result of the state s proposed $1 million cut. The college currentlyadmits anyone who wants. to attend, but the budget cut could continued on page 10

Klan Shootings

Protest marches and rallies are occurring from one end of the country to the other over the recent acquittal of six Klansmen-Nazis in the shooting deaths of five communists in Greensboro, N.C. Such blatant violence from. the KKK is hardly new or surprising in these troubled times, nor are such attacks limited to the South,

In Connecticut there have been large Klan rallies; Cleveland and Chicago have had incidents involving Klansmen; and,.more immediately, right here in Detroit, the Klan-Nazis have confessed to shootingat a Black man.

In Greensboro the Klan-Nazis were acquitted; in Detroit they have resorted to plea bargaining in an attempt to lessen the sentence. This maneuver by the defendants not only reduced the maximum sentence from ten years to four years but also nullified the possibility of linking the Klansmen in an_ interstate cooperation, through the alleged rifle used in the shooting.

Hunger Strike Continues

Twenty-three-year-old Liam Carlin, a former HBlock prisoner from Northern Ireland, recently came through Detroit on a national speaking tour to publicize the conditions of prisoners in the British prisons of his homeland. He was arrested Nov. 9 in Pittsburgh for not having a valid passport, and after being held in the federal corrections facility there has been deported to a London prison.

The hunger strike by Irish prisoners in Long Kesh continues, with several participants in grave physical danger one prisoner weighs only 53 lbs. The strikers are demanding political-prisoner status and access to such things as reading materials, pencils and paper, visits from family and recreational facilities.

Back in Detroit, the City Council has passed a resolu: tion which supports the demands of the H-Block strikers, and over 50 supporters of the prisoners marched last week outside the British consulate downtown. There will be another march Dec. 6, as part of a national day of protest in support of the hunger strike.

Chemical Welfare

This past Veterans Day marked the _ third anniversary of the Agent Orange controversy. The ever-cautious Veterans Administration has yet to acknowledge any general connection between exposure to the pesticide and health problems among Vietnam vets and their offspring. As it now stands, the burden of proof is on each individual to convince the VA that such a link exists.

The VA has been equally frigid toward atomic veterans. As many as halfa million American soldiers, according to Pentagon estimates, were exposed to radiation from nuclear weapons tests in the South Pacific and Nevada between 1945 and 1962, yet its been nearly impossible for any of them to get federal compensation for their service-related illnesses. The National Association of Atomic Veterans (NAAV) and the Clergy and Laity Concerned are establishing 40 referral centers across the country to help locate atomic test vets. For details, write to the NAAV at 1109 Franklin St., Burlington, lowa 52601. (In These Times.)

MUSIC REGGAE ROCKS DETROIT

continued from the cover States (which is called Babylon in Rasta parlance). And some of the headliners of yesterday Bob Marley, Toots and Maytals, Gregory Isaacs, the Mighty Diamonds, Jimmy Cliff and Third World continue as mainstays today.

In fact, Cliff and Third World will be featured in concert Nov. 29 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre (see Metro Showcase). To showcase the charismatic Cliff with Third World is to combine two of Jamaica s most outstanding and popular acts. Since his debut as an actor-singer, Cliff has been more active on the concert trail than in the studio; and because none of his recordings has managedto captivate like the soundtrack from The Harder They Come, very few, save for reggae devotees and dyed-in-the-wool dreads, know much of Cliff's present situation.

There were even rumors that he had sold out and that he possessed no genuine concern for the plight of Jamaica s poor or down-press. All of this was untrue, according to Detroit s resident authority on reggae, Horatio.

What many people fail to understand about Cliff, Horatio instructed, is that he is a muslim and not a Rasta (a member of Jamaica s most prominent religious group).He, like Toots, who is a follower of Pocomania, have different religious outlooks. And this distinction, Horatio went on to say, contributes to a different world view. Therefore, their political objectives, as expressed in reggae music, would, not necessarily be the same as the Rastas.

oratio, who for years was the a dynamo behind H.E.R.B. (the Herbal Experience Reggae Band) and who has maintained radio shows promoting West Indian music for nearly a decade (see Reggaephernalia box), also pointed out that Cliff has not had a hit record in four or five years, but that his new album, | Am Living, should rescue him from relative obscurity and place him at the center of the reggae revival.

The emergence of Third World, whoappeared in concert at Pine Knob back in the summer, is another indication that reggae is on the rebound. Though the group is extremely popular in Jamaica, having bested even the mighty Marley and company at last year s Sunsplash Festival in Jamaica, its acclaim in the States has been limited to Boston and Brooklyn, where there exist sizeable West Indian communities. So, for the group to share top: billing with Jimmy Cliff in the exurbs of Detroit is a strong commentary on the talent of Third World and the improving status of reggae.

One caveat to Cliff-Third World concertgoers: If you prefer your reggae raw, steeped in ganja, stomp-down, .unadulterated and straight from the kingdom of Jah, you may find these acts rather tame. For some listeners (and critics) Cliff and Third World represent the commercial fringe of reggae, but that s not to say that they don t possess class or substance. Whether they choose to or not, each group is capable of giving its reggae renditions all the biting political and social commentary that has come to characterize the music.

ome other signs of reggae $s spreading influence and popularity can be seen in the adoption of the music by various New Wave bands. The Clash and The Police (see Record Reviews), two groups riding the crest of New Wave and who are no strangers to reggae, continue to seek new ways to showcase the music.

Even the jazz-oriented Starship Orchestra features an enticing reggae tune, New York New York, on its new first album. ae reggae outburst has also spilled

over into other art forms Michael Thelwell s splendid book, The Harder They Come, based on the movie of the same name; is being heralded as a masterpiece on Jamaican culture and language. And there is another movie on Jamaican life, Rockers, making the rounds, which for this viewer falls far short of Cliff's classic.

Even the audiences for reggae, which, except for its West Indian supporters, have been primarily white in the States, are beginning to show some change. If the

REGGAEPHERNALIA

There isn t a whole lot of reggaerelated matter afloat in the Detroit area, but you can catch a sumptuous portion of the music with Horatio on WDET (101.9 FM), Tuesdays, 1-3 pm; and on WCAR (1090 AM), Fridays 8-9 pm. Horatio, along with O. C. Roberts and Ras Nard6, the dubber or rapper supreme, will also be in concert at Alvin s, Nov. 27 and at the 1800 Club, Nov. 29 (see WHAT S HAPPENIN ).

Those of you interested in a copy of Michael Thelwell s book, The Harder

They Come, can purchase it at Paperbacks Unlimited on Woodward Ave. near 9 Mile Rd. And for you real (reel) cult followers keep an eye on the marquee at the Madison Theatre, Jimmy Cliff's The Harder They Come is scheduled to start Dec. 5 as the Friday and Saturday midnight show. For reggae records: Dawn Records, 10524 W. McNichols (Trevor Bundy); <and Scarlet Ibis, 13744 Woodward Ave. (Mervin Henry).

recent Commodores-Bob Marley concert at Madison Square Garden is any barometer, it won't be long before more AfroAmericans will be rocking to reggae. For one reviewer of the concert, the AfroAmerican attendance was the largest she had ever seen jammin to reggae.

PS hat Afro-Americans have shown little enthusiasm for reggae is not difficult to understand when you consider that there is a vast cultural difference between Afro-Americans and West Indians. (Of course, this is not to say that white Americans don t suffer from the same disparity.)

The majority of Black Detroiters, responding to an informal survey conducted by the Metro Times, were only vaguely familiar with reggae and thus had formed no opinion of the music. Others, who were more informed, felt that reggae was boring and monotonous. For them, all of the tunes appeared to have the same beat and they (as dancers) wanted more variety.

Some confessed an ignorance to the lyrics What s a Rastafarian and who the hell is Jah? A certain chauvinism could also be detected in several of the replies, suggesting that Afro-American music was superior to any music in the world.

Bob Marley, in an interview in Melody Maker, placed the blame on the record companies. Essentially, in his opinion, the problem- was. one of exposure. In America, he stated, it s business, y knowwhat I mean? In America you have a lot of record companies, so | figure that when the record companies start to pick up on reggae acts, well begin to get somewhere. (As we go to press, there is disturbing news that Marley has been unable to shake a recurring illness and may have to be haspitalized again.)

Horatio agreed with Marley s conclusions and added that it 4s basically a problem of communication. And in a city like Detroit which has had a'strong musical base like Motown, it takes a little longer to penetrate. The implication one might gather from this remark, which Horatio did not intend, is that if reggae can take root in Detroit, it stands a good chance of sweeping the country.

Knowing the vagaries of the music industry, the stress that is given to change for the sake of change and the desire for ever-new musical modes, reggae, indeed, may get another shot at the charts. But whether it will sink in and truly become a significant departure from the normal run of things depends on what happens on Madison Avenue, not at Madison Square Garden.

Umph, was that the sound of reggae in those TV commercials for Movin On Jeans by Levi Strauss?

TO LIVING BETTER AS TIMES GET ROUGHER

by D. J. Shea

Snobbery is about as tolerated in America as kicking dogs. Perhaps the worst offender of egalitarian sensibilities is the wine snob. Can there be anyone worse than someone who sniffs, rolls his eyes and turns up his nose at what you just shelled out three hard-earned dollars for? Yes. The beer snob.

After spending a year in Europe bounding from brewery tour to brewery tour and working as a bartender in two countries, returned to my favorite watering hole with some damn unpopular notions. Beer is brewed in Milwaukee and is as American as Ronald Reagan. You drink it from cans and you drink it cold, right? Sorry, sniff, roll my eyes and turn up my nose. have become a beer snob,

Beer drinking in this country has become the ultimate symbol of manliness. So successful are the imagemakers of the big American breweries in creating an aura of masculinity around their product that it becomes difficult to criticize beer without criticizing athletes, oil rig workers and other strong men. But you don t have to be a pioneer, socialist or sissy to find the flaws in standard American beer.

Nearly all familiar domestic brands are lager beers, named after the lagering technique for brewing developed in Germany. But unlike Germany today, where strict laws limit beer ingredients to barley malt, yeast, hops and water, American beers have been adulterated with chemicals, colorings, sugar and inferior grains such as rice and corn. After this brew is pumped full of gas to give it a little zip, it is served ice cold to mask its harshness. The product of modern American brewing has as much in common with the beer produced by brew-master Joseph Shlitz in Milwaukee in 1836 as processed cheese food product does with aged Vermont cheddar.

Even beer drinkers have not been spared from the falling value of the dollar on the international money markets. The cost of high quality imported beers has been soaring, but there is a solution to the beer drinker s quandary home brewing.

The quality of home brew varies only

with the care that is put into the brewing. Quality home brews contain only malted barley, yeast, hops and water, the same ingredients that go into the world s best beers. Because malted barley is not often found next to the cornflakes on your grocer s shelf, however, brewery prepared malt extract is recognized as a legitimate substitute.

One of the prime advantages of home brewing is the variety of beers that can be produced by a simple adjustment of the ratios of ingredients. One of the first discoveries home brewers make is that the alcohol content of the beer can be adjusted by adding a little extra malt or withholding a little water. While some commercial beers, especially the various light beers on the market, have alcohol contents of less than three percent, very low by traditional brewing standards, most home brewers make their first mistake by producing very powerful beers that cause very powerful hangovers. Experienced home brewers find that the richest and fullest beers have alcohol contents of five to six percent.

While the four basic ingredients remain the same, there are variations in malt and hop types, yeast strains and water quality. The result is that the varieties of beer that

Renee Maiorana,

can be brewed at home multiply like rabbits. If you are the experimenting type you may enjoy the diversity, but beware. At this point you are entering into the Great Beer Debate, which like most events in European history, pits England against the continent.

Speak of beer on the continent and you speak of lager, the familiar golden-colored beer with all the bubbles. But speak of beer in England and you speak of traditional draught ale, or as it is more commonly known, bitter. Bitter is not simply a dark beer, but an entirely different type of beer made by a piocess of top fermentation as opposed to the bottom fermentation of lager. Bitter is the supposedly warm English beer, the thought of which causes many Americans to recoil in horror until they taste it. The traditional draught ale of England takes on the aura of wine for its subtle variety, quality and flavor.

To begin home brewing here are a few hints:

@ Buy a how-to book. There are some subtleties to brewing that cannot be explained here and could mean the difference between having five gallons of quality beer or five gallons of potent swill.

Two of the best books available are Home Brewed Beers and Stouts.by C. J. J. Berry, an Englishman who is an acknowledged expert on the brewing of bitter, and whose book is thorough and can be used by beginners and advanced home brewers alike (remember to convert Imperial pints to American pints); and New Brewer s Handbook by Patrick Baker, a Connecticut chemist whose book contains basic background on brewing and recipes for various brews.

@ Begin your brewing with a kit. You ve got to learn to walk before you can run. Kits leave little room for experimentation but familiarize beginners with the techniques of brewing and produce good quality beer.

® Be prepared to spend $15 to $20 on brewing equipment. The start-up costs will become negligible if you become a regular brewer. You'll need buckets, bottles, a bottle capper, siphon tubing and the brewers touchstone, a hydrometer for measuring the alcohol and sugar content of your beer. is * *

The enthusiasm for beer, brewing is contagious. You'll discover that the more you learn about the subject the more you'll want to learn.

Whether you link your drink with politics, desire to save money, or enjoy the art of brewing, all the best. Cheers.

Check the public library for beer-brewing books and recipes. How-to books and beerbrewing equipment can also be obtained at any of the several beer and wine making supply stores in the Detroit area. Among them are:

PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

continued from page 7 up, the city could condemn the houses, chase out the residents and end up running out of money and getting stuck with the land while GM goes elsewhere.

Deaf Ears

ity officials have been so busy scrambling to finance the project that they have had no time to meet with area residents angry and confused over the targeting of their neighborhood for massive urban removal. Demands issued by the Poletown Neighborhood Council in July were completely ignored, according to Hodas.

The Council sent a list of its concerns to GM officials, Moten, Young and Council President Erma Henderson, but got no response whatsoever, Hodas said. The group wanted the city and GM to justify using the Poletown site to build the plant, to "study the effect of the move on the area s many senior citizens, to preserve the historic and cultural landmarks of the area and to pledge to rehabilitate the remainder of Poletown.

_ Our only recourse was to go to court, said Hodas, since city and GM officials repeatedly refused to meet with the Poletown Council to discuss its concerns.

The city would recognize only the official Citizens District Council, appointed at the end of the summer by City Council, as the legitimate community liaison group. Even the hand-picked CDC, which included a majority of area businessmen as well as

CARRY OUTS

Hodas and a few other representatives from the Poletown Council, did not fall completely in line with the plans laid by the city and GM. Only one of the district council s 19 members voted to approve the project as it stood, six others voted against the project, and the rest said they would agree if City Council acted on several recommendations. City Council did grant some of the concessions the district council wanted, including the tax abatement, special task forces for senior citizens and businesses, and a guarantee that residents would receive copies of all appraisals made on their property.

Offers made by the city to residents this month have been largely favorably received, though many residents were confused about their rights. But area businessmen were aghast at offers they felt were deliberately too low, and several have an-

nounced intentions to file suit against the city, saying its offers were not made in good faith.

Helped along by the quicktake legislation and the fancy lobbying footwork the Young administration did in Washington, the GM project has steamrolled along despite persistent opposition: from area residents. Now only the courts stand between the people of Poletown and the city s bulldozers.

Unless judges act to slow or reverse the process, the northern part of Poletown may soon join the roll of lost Detroit neighborhoods (Hastings Street, Forest Park, Elmwood, Corktown) that have been the victims of modern urban renewal. And residents of nearby neighborhoods that the people of Poletown willbe moving into will be left to ask why the revitalization of the city must be paid for with the homes and communities of its citizens.

POOR FACE CUTS

result in

continued from page 7 reducing -available academic programs.

The Detroit Public Schools will lose approximately $24 million, nearly wiping out the revenue increase afforded by the voters adoption of a 3.5 mill tax increase good for $35. million.

A marathon House-Senate conference meeting last Friday (Nov. 21) worked to hash out $73 million of cuts from the social services appropriations bill.

Committee chairperson Dave Hollister (D-Lansing) insisted that if programs to benefit the poor of the state are going to get cut, then so are those for the rich. In trying to apply this approach to a long list of suggested cuts ranging from cutting back heating assistance to AFDC recipients, to deferring 10% of payments to hospitals until 1982, he got strong support from two of the three Democrats on the sixmember committee. =

Rep. Harrison and_ Detroit State Sen. Jackie Vaughan favored applying the cuts equitably, but Grand Rapids State Sen. Stephen Monsma sided with com-mittee Republicans and health care providers hospitals, nursing homes, physicians and the like in trying to get welfare recipients to take the brunt of the cuts.. Ultimately, cuts were made that affected providers as well as recipients.

Providers finally got cut, too, Hollister told Detroit Metro Times after the meeting. He was particularly elated that his

proposal to rebase rates at which hospitals are paid by the state under the Medicaid program was adopted by the committee. That s at the heart of how hospitals get paid, and this will be a gold mine of savings in the future, Hollister said. It is estimated that rebasing will save the state $3 million in fiscal year 1981 alone. Hospitals received nearly a third of the $1.5 billion DSS budget in 1980.

Hollister was also pleased that the committee adopted measures to encourage the use ofscheaper generic name drugs over more expensive brand name drugs, and set up a fee differential to encourage treatment by general physicians rather than more expensive specialists.

An important issue not yet resolved is the push by committee Republicans for one of three cuts directed at social services recipients: remove recipients between the ages of 21 and 65 from Medicaid coverage, cut AFDC grants 5-7%, or cut General Assistance grants another 5% on top of 5% already cut. Committee Democrats want to postpone the last payroll payment to Medicaid providers to fiscal year:1982 to save a hefty $17 million in thisyear s budget.

But what s important here, said Hollister, is that we ended the meeting on a positive note even though this was awfully grim business to have to cut prograrns which are aimed at helping our state s citizens endure these exceedingly difficult economic times.

Deface the Eighties Local Bands Press Their Own

by Susan Amelia Borey

In the city that hosted the rise of Motown Records in the 60s, there is currently a burgeoning original music scene. Recently, a group of Detroit musicians banded together to produce an album of original New Wave music independent of the trappings of Big Business. Projects like this are often considered by musicians who, contemplating the music industry, see a Goliath of corporate obstacles in the way of artistic success.

However, it takes the right combination of factors to materialize a viable alternative to the record industry's means of providing music for the public. Deface the Eighties, released a few weeks ago on Tremor Records, is Detroit s first example of this kind of success. The album features cuts by seven local bands: Cinecyde, the Ivories, The 27, Rushlow-King, The Cubes, Mark Norton and Service.

- A few years ago, Cinecyde recorded and produced a 45, coming up with Tremor for a label name, mostly to fill up the space around the hole in the record rather than to fulfill a legal necessity. Soon their friends the Ivories were recording a single, and, avid record collectors all, the two bands decided that sharing a label would provide an interesting link far-in the future when they and other record collectors recalled the music scene back in the 70s: It was this seed of cooperative thought that grew into Deface the Eighties.

As Cinecyde and the Ivories continued to release records, handling the aspects of production and distribution themselves, they came in contact with other bands who wanted to record their own music and who were attracted to the artistic, ifnot financial umbrella of the Tremor label. Soon The 27, RushlowKing and The Cubes produced discs, and _a family of bands was born. They started working together, helping each other out at gigs, achieving notoriety loosely connected by their recording label. Eight singles were eventually released; six of them with EPs.

It was Gary Riechel, lead singer for Cinecyde, who came up with the idea of compiling an album of works of the Tremor bands in order to more cohesively document this era of Detroit's music. After sharing his idea and making amenable working agreements, the five

| the cooperative spirit of sharing this piece of vinyl and the accompanying work and rewards is refreshing.

- original bands and two other local groups, Mark Norton and Service, each recorded songs for the album. After mastering, pressing and packaging processes were completed, the record was released. = This album covers a spectrum of musical styles ranging from the sound of acoustic guitar and harmonica of Rushlow-King s witty social comment

See You Later Perhaps, to the punch of The 27's high energy anthem Of the ~ City. A '60 s sound, brightened up by modern production techniques, characterizes the Ivories selections. The two songs by The Cubes feature the low, smooth voice of Carolyn Striho, who has recently left the group to join another Detroit band. The production of this album is commendable; even the unpre-

tentious live recording of the Mark Norton group retains enough clarity to come across well.

In a field generally characterizedby competitive attitudes, lack of mutual support and the separation they breed, the cooperative spirit of sharing this piece of vinyl and the accompanying work and rewards is refreshing. Deface the Eighties is a cooperative venture in another sense too the impossible to neglect area of finance. No company owns the album or the label; there are no financial backers besides the bands themselves.

Each group was responsible for its own recording costs. Money was raised for the production stages following these initial recordings by two Tremor Reviews, showcases performed by the

- seven bands at Bookie s. The bands have agreed that if the profits grossed from the album exceed its costs (which is unlikely), the surplus money will be put into a fund to finance another project, perhaps Deface the Eighties Volume II. Hopefully the bands can look forward to financial remuneration, as well as artistic satisfaction, from the Tremor projects. A certain delayed compensation couldcome in the form of opportunities the album can produce for the musicians. Publicity of any kind is helpful, and since there are no contracts binding anyone, the label can serve as an introduction or preliminary foray into the recording industry. Several of the bands are rumored to be negotiating deals with record companies already, and other speculations involve nationwide and European distribution of Deface the Eighties.

Local distribution is handled in part by. Bob Zilli, who has taken interest in the project because he feels that disseminating our local music resources is vital. Right-now the album is available at local record stores that already sell New Wave singles. The initial 2,000 copies released will soon be augmented by a second pressing.

Deface the Eighties is receiving some airplay on Detroit rock stations, notably WWWW. WRIF may feature the album on Proving Ground, a short program that previews newly released music. Hope-: fully this indicates a trend to reverse the tragic reluctance to incorporate local music into the regular radio format, a situation which exists partly because of the necessary yet dictatorial relationship between conglomerate record companies and radio stations.

The higher-ups who decide what gets played don t seem to consider the advantages that playing more local music might give them. Most people are hungry to hear what's being produced by Motor City musicians, and any station that provides time for listeners to revelin local. pride will enlarge its audience substantially.

Whether or not it infiltrates the air-~ waves as muchas it deserves, Deface the Eighties is a landmark in the Detroit music scene. It should serve as inspiration for musicians and everyone else who has wondered if its possible to get anywhere without relying on thechannels seemingly requisite for success.

Schubert: Piano Sonatas(9

records)

Wilhelm Kempff

pianist ee DG Records -

Ah, the economics of record buying. (Sigh.) There s a lot of good music available on the market now, and everybody's looking for a bargain. Well, classical aficionados and completists may rejoice that DG has reissued this fine set of Schubert piano music with inspired, poetic playing by Wilhelm Kempf.

True, its got the deceptively big bucks price of $44.98, but at the same time, its nine records at $4.98 per disc. Normally, the same album released by DG could cost you $9.98 per disc. For the money, DG also provides surfaces which are better than the average snap, crackle and pop pressings one buys frequently. Not perfect all the time, but close enough.

In the end, though, its the music that is the reason for the life of this record. Its music that sings with joy, with despair, with spirituality and human compassion. The posthumously printed Sonata in B flat major is one of the standouts in keyboard literature, and Kempf plays it for what it is. Comparing it to my previous favorite version of the piece, that of Alfred Brendel, found Kempffto convey more of the overall atmosphere at the small expense of an occasionally missed note. All in all, a performance that rests well on the ears.

The case for the posthumous A major sonata is even stronger. Without a doubt, Kempff, who I'm guessing was in his sixties atthe time he recorded these pieces, really gets the handle on this one. From the fanfare opening of the first movement, through the dreamlike second movement and the finely pointed third movement, until the ending of the piece, think that this performance is one of the pianistic wonders on vinyl.

Throughout this set I- was impressed with the quality of the playing as well as some of the earlier sonatas and sonata fragments that I'd never heard before. Kempff doesn't overwhelm you with pianistic trickery in the manner of a Horowitz, but to my ears everything has that quality, so hard to describe of feeling right. The poetics of Schubert's keyboard

Stevie Wonder Hotter Than July

Tamla

Stevie Wonder s latest attempt, Hotter Than July, is about as hot as December. It is presented under the guise of a Tribute to Martin Luther King, but if this is a tribute, it is abstract to the point of being a misnomer. One exception, Happy Birthday, an up-tempo tune done in the Stevie Wonder fashion, might be worthy of

King s prominence. At least it mentions his name and promotes a nationally honored holiday for him. The material, all written and performed by Wonder, is repetitious and dated. Only occasionally does the tempo vary.

Side one s Did Hear You Say You Love Me and AllIDo have no separation. They are identical in tempo, and, along with Stevie s garbled lyrics, it took repeated listening to realize they were two separate

entities.

Side two offers only one catchy ballad, Lately, which is coherent and -lovely. The remaining musical entries needa certain ambiance in order to be tolerated, such as light, whistles, DJs, etc.

In essence, the album suggests that it was done in a hurry, borrowing music from past Wonder recordings, substituting lyrics and using a great man as a musical gimmick.

Reva Mitchell

writing receive sensitive, thoughtful performances which are at all time at the service of the music.

Now, in addition to this set of Schubert sonatas, DG is also releasing the Schubert Symphonies on five records by Karl Boehm and the Berlin Philharmonic for $24.98, and two other nine-record sets priced at the same list price as the Kempf set. The set of Dvorak Symphonies with Rafael Kubelik and the set of Bach orchestral works (the Brandenburg Concertos, the Suites for Orchestra and the Harpsichord Concertos) by Karl Richter were well received when they first came out a few years back, and they still remain fine values.

DG has these little stickers on the albums which talk about limited editions, and maybe that means they'll go upin price after Christmas. If you have a friend who likes classical music

(or you feel like treating yourself to some super music), none of these recordings should disappoint you. In any event, the Kempff record is the new star in the budget record firmament.

The Police Zenyatta Mondatta

A & M Records

The Police, even at their most inconsistent, are still one of the

scene today.

After one single over in Britain with a different guitar player, the present lineup produced one of the most promising albums of 1979 with Outlandos d Amour, and Roxanne was the single from the album which punched them irito the public eye. It was an album filled with great tunes like Next To You, So Lonely and Can't Stand Losing You, and they caught my ear as a band to pay attention to.

The next album, Reggatta de Blanc, fulfilled the promise of the first. LP and promptly became one of my desert island discs. (If you were stuck on the proverbial desert island with a record player and an electrical outlet, which albums would you pack with you?) From the wry humor of On Any Other Day and Message In A Bottle, throughout the rest of the album, there was a rare blend of thought-provoking lyrics and dynamic music.

With this new album, Police once again indulges in their penchant for unique album titles and striking music. While I don t feel that this new one will replace Reggatta de Blanc in my musical heart of hearts, it certainly has alot to recommendit. The nonsense single, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, is getting heavy airplay on the radio. Behind My Camel, the instrumental track on the record, could be used as the '80s answer to the Peter Gunn Theme.

most innovative and worthwhile bands in music today. The rock trio format that they adopted and which seemed to be a rather limiting type of musical lineup has been injected with new force and vitality. There is tremendous balance within the group. s

Sting plays bass with authority and provides vocals for the band that are cutting, powerful and subtle at the same time. Along with Stewart Copeland, an jinventive, pulsating drummer, and who writes most of the material that Sting doesn't, an incredibly tight rhythm section is formed. Andy Summers augments this duo with fluid guitar mastery.

Sometimes the three of them turn into a super rhythm section when playing behind the vocals and at other times Summers provides some incisive, slashing lead. As a unit, this is one of the most propulsive bands on the

The lead tunes on the album, Don't Stand So Close to Me _and Driven to Tears, feature the now-familiar Police blend of reggae, spacey effects and Sting s distinctive conversational scream. Bombs Away has neat lyrics about .. unpaid bills, Afghanistan hills. . and other topical commentary on the state of the military.

The other songs on the album are all as good, but the unity inherent on Reggatta de Blanc seems to be missing a little bit. However, the other side of the coin is that this is a band not content to rest on its laurels, and the experimental quality of the album harkens back to the way the first album affected me. Every album that they've released seems to build upon the one before it, and if the pattern holds true, then for one should be ecstatic about the next one. Until that time, this is as fine a record on the market now as any, and in the majority of cases, it stands far above the maddening crowd. Get it.

THE INSIDE/OUTSIDE BAND

An Eclectic Force in the Motor City

by Bill Rowe

We live in an age of specialization. Individuals, separately and collectively, are goaded into honing their visions toa lowest common denominator, a process involving a disregard for the breadth of an aesthetic in favor of the marketability of its basest elements. We're seldom able to realize the wonders afloat in an artist's soul, as he or she must face the minor realities of paying the rent, establishing a career, etc. A few brave (some say foolhardy) folks always manage to get over with their visions intact, reminding us that somehow, purity can indeed triumph, however minor the victory may seem. An even smaller group of people succeed in melding their artistic priorities to a commercially viable medium, at once keeping their visions intact: and establishing a role in the marketplace.

Anyone who has seen the Inside/ Outside Band must realize that we have a special example of an innovatively potent musical force manifesting itself in a highly accessible fashion right here in Detroit. Anyone who hasn't seen the band cannot blame this on his or her restrictions to a certain scene, as it's safe to say that the Inside/Outside Band enjoys a greater access to avenues than any other band in town. On any given night, they can be found at Cobb's Commer, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The

GIFT

Bowery, the Madison Theatre, or at any one of a number of improbably but appropriate places. And, given the nature ofa room and its patrons, one can hear the Inside/Outside Band belting out their unique blend of jazz, funk, reggae, country, latin and avant/free elements into a galvanizing, rock'n'roll drive. Inside/Outside, indeed.

Singer/songwriter Mary Roberts has extensive training and experience in a variety of areas, including operatic and church singing, classical piano, philosophy, poetry, theatre and playwriting. In searching for a musical medium through which to express the breadth of her background, she came upon saxophonist Ralph Koziarski and guitarist Dan Pirslin, who had been working together within a number of formats, most significantly the Motor City Free Arts Group, since 1976. Together, they formed the Mary Roberts Band, which specialized in performing Robert s blues/jazz-oriented compositions. Concurrently, the three also played in bassist/composer Riz Emerson's Butt Number band, which was designed specifically with the new wave in mind.

Considering the wildly diverse trainings of Roberts, Koziarski and Pirslin, it seems odd that such a vast array of stylistic _proclivities would culminate in a rock'n'roll band by the

Mary Roberts spring of 1979. But, as Roberts puts it, :Rock'n'roll is the-perfect medium for us. It's high energy, both in a musical and visual sense, which allows us to exercise our individual abilities in a maximum way. It's a visceral, physical music, not intellectual, which gives us accessibility. But, in our case, we're able to work introspection in by including the ocasional ballad and by giving ourselves room to improvise.

Such stylistic mayhem is usually inappropriate to the innate drive of rock'n'roll, but, as Koziarski explains, We can cut it because we're adaptable. Everybody in our band is fluent within different genres, and with different feels

ALVIN'S - FINER

within those genres. We're a commercial rock'n'roll band that features a lot of self: expression. That's the Inside/Outside concept.

That concept is indeed well realized live. Roberts is a veritable whirlwind on stage, commanding attention with both her striking physicality and her powerful contralto. Koziarski and Pirslin are her perfect foils,- both equipped with an aggressive taste in soloing and ensemble playing. The rhythm section~ (George Smythe onbass, Bob Sweet on drums), is strong and tactile, precisely adept on high-speed curves and roaring on the straightaways. That band members cite such influences as Maria Callas, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Dolphy, Mitch Ryder and Jan Garbarek transcends absurdity within the band s sound, as the only rule seems to be to make it drive.

The future looks good for the Inside/ - Outside Band. Theyjre currently peddling selected tapes of their material, reportedly to an exciting degree of. industry interest. (I had the pleasure of hearing some of the taped songs they're both highly commercial and satisfyingly mean.) In the upcoming month, they'll be playing Union Street East (Nov. 28-29), the Red Carpet (Dec. 4), and the Songshop (Dec. 5-6). Do yourself a favor. Get out and catch em.

Aknartoon s: The Art of Home Cooking

by Ron Aronson

Everyone should have the experience, even if only once, of discovering a place like Aknartoon 's Eatery: of going there in spite of never having heard of it before, -perhaps because a trusted friend insisted; of ducking into an unassuming building on a nondescript block of Woodward; of finding inside a place where everything is new, top to bottom, but above all comfortable; and, finally, of having there a most special eating experience accompanied by non-stop music | from WIZZ.

When you step into Aknartoon S, just north of the Boston-Edison Historic District, the dress of the women who serve you, the literature and the wall posters all tell you that you're in a Muslim restaurant. This means that all food served there must be halal the Muslin equivalent of kosher. Accordingly, Aknartoon s is spotlessly clean, serves no pork and cooks with vegetable, not animal, fat.

In addition, owner George Aknartoon believes in using the best ingredients available, priding himself on letting his cooks work in a place where the butter isn't kept locked up.As a Muslim, he is committed to putting into practice the best possible health perspective (he'll

soon open a health food store next door to the restaurant) as the clientele for it develops. For example, he has already wholly eliminated white flour from the kitchenin favor of whole wheat, and he is trying to replace refined with raw sugar.

The results of Aknartoon s efforts are impressive. The steam table of this expected, was also quite good.

The vegetables were exceptionally _well prepared. The yams, for example, had their own taste the light sauce complemented rather than overwhelmed them. The fresh spinach was enhanced by green onions and a touch of pepper. The whole-wheat dressing,

cafeteria-style restaurant is a joy to behold. On the day of our visit it contained barbecued chicken, ox-tails and barbecued lamb shanks along with yams, rice, squash, spinach and brussels sprouts. The lamb shanks were delicious soft, tasty, in an excellent sauce. The chicken, a little firmer than we

with gravy added on order, was worth eating on its own.

In fact, a vegetarian. would be quite happy. at Aknartoon s: the vegetables, accompanied by a couple offresh-baked muffins, would make a satisfying meal. The muffins deserve special praise: made of whole wheat and corn flour,

they reflect another principle of Aknartoon s cooking as little sugar as possible. They were slightly crisp on the outside and on the inside had a light taste of their grains.

Dessert has a special place at Aknartoon s: bean pie; banana pudding and whole wheat peach cobbler were the day's specials. While the cobbler suffered from being made from canned; syrupy fruit, the bean ~pie a Muslin staple made from pureed navy beans was surprisingly light and tasty.

Prices at Aknartoon s are not low a full meal for two came to $13. But soon the restaurant, which is less than a year old, will have a daily special in the $2-3 range, as well as a salad bar. As a matter of fact, George Aknartoon is fairly bursting with plans. Open 24 hours, g Aknartoon s has live jazz several nights a week. It also has a banquet and meeting hall, and George plans to build a kitchen upstairs, including facilities for baking 300 pies a day. Here s hoping that all of George s dreams come true: he is filled with energy, committed to quality, and helped by cooks of long experience two of whom have cooked for 28 and 35 years as well as great skill and good taste.

aun! Pegasus A Wax Wonderland

by Bill Waldroop

The Ren Cen is a copy of Atlanta s Peachtree Center. Hart Plaza and the new Washington Blvd. look quite a bit like public spaces in New Mexico and Texas. The Blue/Cross Americal redesign of Greektown seems suspiciously San Francisco-influenced. To these untrained eyes it appears that most of the recent developments are imitations, lacking in a specific Detroit flavor.

But there are still refreshing places, spots that couldn't occur elsewhere or be easily copied. Like the Pegasus Wizard Candle Shop, nestled in Trapper s Alley (546 Monroe). Pegasus sells candles, true. Skinny ones for romantic dinners. Short church-style ones. Huge, massive scented ones. A fresh air candle that helps destroy smoke and other unpleasant stenches. They even have discount candles, not to mention pleasant holders for the things. But you don't really notice any of the when you walk in.

What you see are the wax sculptures. Full-color, 18-inch tall, three-

dimensional cartoons, most of em. Escapees from nearly every animated film you could think of: Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, Bullwinkle and Rocky, their assorted supportingcast members and more, congregating on shelves and showcases about the room. Fishnetting hangs from the rafters like curtains. The Muppets (especially

Ms. Piggy) make frequent appearances here. Betty Boop poses provocatively. Popeye and Blutto can be seen slugging it out, with Olive Oyl looking on. Cap n

Hook in the jaws of the crocodile. Spiderman, the Silver Surfer, Batman and Superman hang out in a corner gossiping about their latest adventures. Broom-hilda sits, zoned out, on a rock, with the Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat looking on. Demons and gods, dragons and warriors fill the empty spaces, witha hobbit or two to spare. And each and every one of them is gorgeous. These are not your usual wax candles. Each one of these characters is hand crafted and one ofa kind. No molds used here, just hand work and inspiration. The artists moods and feelings are as much a part of the candle as the wick and colored wax. The work is done in the shop by. owner/craftsman George Alexander, and Bill Bryan and Tom Faulkner; and you can usually see one of the mad artisans at work. Unlike most exhibition spaces where the browser falls silent by the intimidating presence of capital A art, the Pegasus shop is warm, friendly and invites conversation with friends and strangers alike. Its like walking into a wonderland, the most congenial art gallery in Detroit.

Here are all the reasons can think of why someone might want to see Pier Paolo Pasolini s epic Arabian Nights:

Exotic scenery

Exotic costuming

A plethora of exposed penises to match anything shown at the Arts

Gem Capri Krim (if that s your bag)

There's no other warm place to stay for two hours.

Now here are just a few of the reasons someone might perfer to do just about anything else besides go see Arabian Nights:

Dismemberment

Castration

Crucifixion

Voyeurism

"Special effects borrowed from Saturday morning cartoon shows.

Pasolini must have spent a lot of money making Arabian Nights. Only Italians, it seems, could make a bad movie of such extravagant proportions. Enough fantastic and thoroughly strange things happen in Arabian Nights to fill about a year s worth of dream time

$1.50 till 5 pm,

ARABIAN NIGHTS

in the mind of a particularly inventive sado-masochist. A slave girl gets captured by a gang of thieves and tied toa stake but escapes by picking the lice out of an old man s head until he falls asleep and she can snateh the key to her chain from his pocket. She steals the costume of a dead soldier and rides into a desert town where she is hailed as the new king. She is sent.a teen-age bride with whom she must consummate a marriage or else be thrown to her death from a tower. Two of her enemies sneak into town and she has them both crucified.

All this happens within about five minutes of the film. The pace of Arabian Nights is truly breathtaking. The editing looks like it was done by a gang of psychopaths with six-foot-long scissors. Among the scores of other strange occurrences depicted: a ship at sea runs into an enchanted black rock atop which stands an evil armor-plated soldier in a tower; young man watches a demon (an Italian with a toupee of red hair that looks like Red Skelton s scalp pasted on backwards) cut up his lover and turn him

evenings

into a monkey; a love-sick boy shoots a huge gold phallus-tipped arrow into his lover's vagina; a king and a queen wake up two drugged teenagers in turn and watch as each copulates with the other without awakening the one on the bottom (a particularly neat trick when the man is the one asleep).

Though if stops short of being hardcore stuff, Arabian Nights is almost as boring as a standard stag film. Once you get weary of looking at the majestic desert and the outlandish headgear, there is nothing much left to do but await the next grotesquery. It could be catesgorized as a snuff film in which both sexes get their share of mutilation, though there is obsessive attention paid to penises and, luckily, much giggling in the bizarre love-making sequences, which as in the skin flicks get right to the point in a hurry. 2

Since it obviously cost the producers of this film a lot to stage so many grandiose scenes (many with casts of thousands ), they had to cut corners somewhere, and it shows. Italian actors

MIDNITE MOVIES AT PRESENTS

and actresses are mixed in with Arabs -and Africans as if they were all natives of the desert.

The result is crew of laughably mis-cast actors. There is utter disregard for continuity between scenes, since. the movie is so choppy anyway: days turns into night as quickly as a character turns. a corner. When two characters engaged in a dialogue are shot on separate days, it doesn't matter to Pasolini that its raining one day and sunny the other he just pastes the takes together. If a fly happens to land on an actor's nose, Pasolini doesn t bother to re-shoot the scene. What can be worse than an epic which economizes in such crude ways?

Well, dear readers, I m as frustrated as you. It s not that I take delight in flinging mud at trashy films. I'm as anxious to write a good review as you are to read one. It s just that what worthwhile stuff sneaks in (The Return of the Secaucus 7 or Gloria, for instance) gets away before! can corral it. Let's hope the holidays are indeed a holiday from the kind of movies that have been in town Iately.
