J
Black Metamorphesis a Singletary allegory
subjec~s
used to paint white but you've really got to paint what you know. Face it, there are two different worlds. Ilive in the black world, . " said Michael J . Singletary, artist,1 sculptor, aesthetician and student at Syracuse University,! Sitting in the lounge of the Afro American Cultural Center, 104 Walnut Place, Mike stretched out his 6 feet 5 frame and talked of his goals and fears as an artist. •... born black and in the ghettos of Harlem; and raised in the bosom of the South Bronx," he paints the black experience, His most recent exhibition at Syracuse University's Hendricks Chapel. "An overdose of the Black Experience through the Hands of Black Artists," was preceded by showings at the Harlem Artist Exhibit; Black Arts Society Exhibition, Bostoo I and Vermont. Through scholarships he has studied art ai Vermont Academy, the University of Ghana at Accra and .Kumasi and the University of Guadalajara Mexico. Inspired by such Mexican muralists as Scquiros, Orozco am Riviera, Mike has painted a composite mural of black life as part of the Patterson Housing Project in the South Bronx, One of the most interesting paintings in the :"Black Experi nee Exhibit" is "The Negro Gothic" done while the artist Michael Singletary with friends, L to R Kevin Sykes, Singletary attended high school. Charles Earley and John Nichols. "I got the idea from Grant Wood's Amer ican Gothic on the · Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial while traveling in the South. It was a paradox showing the stereotyped Mid West farm but not the black farmer. "The Negro Gothic" is slow; wears an NAACP button and black matriarchy stands beside him. He carries a Bible instead of a pitchfork because religioa plays such a great part in the life of Southern Negroes.' Mike envisions a whole series of Gothics patterned after · Grant Wood's classic, _"American Gothic" • . 'The Black Gothic' for example, would be different from 'The Negro Gothic '. 'The Black Gothic' would be more mill· tant, satisfied. He would hq_lcl a gun and be slim · to suggest quickness. A Panther would be the best description of a 'Black Gothic', Another super realistic work in the exhibit, "Lew Alcindor,' is quite literally a monument to the basketball stat. EighteeD feet by four and a half feet it took two .nonths to complete and was painted in his bathroom size room in Laurinsoo Dorm. Painting "whatever happens to be throbbing in his mind' Mike communicates to the world through his brush. "Whatever I feel like doing at the time I do it. A true artist can do any· thing," he said. As proof of this Mike experiments with Ills new techniques and combinations of styles. "My greatest fear is to be sterotyped, " he admitted. The artist searches constantly for new channels of eJ· pression. Upon mastering the visual arts and jazz he plans to get into the theatre, both acting and writing. "The theatre is utopia, a real trip. It makes . a complete use of all my facilities," he said.
PAGE 5
SYRACUSE NEW TIMES, JANUARY 21, 1971 Describing himself as •basically a realist•, Mike says "I'm a jazz painter with all of the attributes and emotions that jazz artiSts have, and I go through the same changes they go through. About "Black Jesus•, one of the paintings in the s.u. show Mike says, "Christ is such an abstract idea. Black Christ is my interpretation of the religious philosophy of one of the great problems of man. 0 , Mike rejects explanations of the work as an attempt to portray the crucifixion of the American Negro. "I'm painting the christ figure black to make it more relevant to black people for the same reason the Italian painter painted Christ to look Italian.
-
Mike acjmits there are problems for black artists. "A black artist is in the middle of whatW.E. DeBois calls 'Dualism' and he has to make a choice between whether he wants to create for art's sake or for himself and his people. I feel that I do both." Painting what is relevant to him, Mike satisfies himself 95 per cent of the time and his black audience 95 per cent of the time. "But everbody can relate to my work. It's basically universal -- humanistic. I paint my experience in America."
The Dilemma of Muhammad Ali.
•. "Black Metamorphosis "is a highly symbolic painting drawn from the artist's life in the black community. Singletary explains. "The scene is a pool room with three major figures. The fellow with the face fading represents the hustler. His green materialistic facade is symbolic of the greed of his environment. The young black boy sits next fo him with a redish face symbolic of the life that is still in him. His face is not defined because he is in a state of decision. Should he choose the "tragic magic • of the life of the green hustler?. "Above hi~ are representatives of the past generations that are now mentally dead. The pool table represents life in a sense. The boy holds a crooked pool stick, symbolizing the difficulty in playing the game of life for blacks in the ghetto." The fate of the next generation, represented by the shoe shine boy, depends on the acceptance or rejection of what the hustler offers -- dope, illegal paper, whatever. The shoeshiner takes the middle guy's place if he decided to accept the hustler's _offer. "Its a. metamorphosis. The whole thing is a cycle. The hour- · glass under the hustler's chair -- time's almost running out, heroin's in. To get out of the ghetto the black either becomes a hustler, a basketball player or an entertainer. Then in the background there's the fade out. There is the past generation symbolized by a skeleton. They fell into that systematic game-kept trying to plug into the system. And now they're mentally deacj. The whole revolution."
Si~gletar.(s powerful portrait of Wes Montgomery, a recent
orl pamtmg.
Mike Singletary has escaped the cycle but he hasn't for. gotten those who remain trapped in the system. He wants to establish a free cultural center for musicians and artists in Harlem. Interested also in creating an art school, he seeks to abolish the idea of degrees as a necessity. Artists would get together and teach each other. Michael J. Singletary, black artist and jazz painter exemplifies the positive power of thinking. Though he describes himself as moody , egotistical and conceited it is this "you can do it"' attitude that foster.s his growth as an artist. Pieces of Singletary's mammoth picture of Lou Alcindor.
Continuing to grow creatively he is •anartistwho represents man's expression."' "I paint my experience. I'm just painting it black, " he said . .........
Victory ? a piece that Singletary is currently working on as part of a series on Muhammad Ali.

REFORM NEEDS YOU
The season for legislative draft reform is upon us. Congress can no longer avoid the issue, or finesse it with tokensim (like the lottery), because the eleventh hour is near; come pestilence or plague, riot in the streets, or an act of God, the present · draft statute expires on June 30, 1971 • What will replace it? Early signs point away from the volunteer army •joke" (to borrow the r ecent epithet of powerful John Stennis, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee In all likelihood, the Military Selective Service Act of 1967 will be reenacted, extending the Pr esident's power to conscriptfor, at least, two more years, if not four. . But the probability of draft r eform is also great. Very shortly hearings on r eform proposals will be held before the Senate and House Ar med Services Committees. We will be in Washington cover ing those hearings for this column and lobbying for procedural and subs tantive reform. Ideally, we would like to carry with us to the Capitol a mass of written opinion from the million-plus "constituency" of students who read this column. You have a direct stake in which may occur in Washington. Even· if you have no political or moral convictions regarding the continuation of conscription, you are still inextricably . involved in the issue of draft reform. Because you are in very real danger of losing your II-S student deferments for good. Way back on April 23, 1970, PresidentNixonasked Congress to restore to him "discretionary authority on the deferment of students seeking a bacculaureate degree. If the Congress r estores this author ity, Nixon declared, "1. shall promptly... bar all undergraduate deferments, except for young men who are undergraduate students prior to today.,. In other words under the proposed legislation, you would continue to qualify for your IT-S under the current rules only if you were enr olled in college before April 23, 1970. (The same holds true for men deferred because of junior college and apprentice and technical training programs, so long as those men were enrolled before April 23, 1970, As soon as the P r esident sent his April 23 message to 1 Congress, Draft Director Curtis Tarr instructed his draft boards to "file separately the cover sheets of registr ants who enroll in colleges, universities, technical schools· and apprentice programs on April23, 1970, or ther eafter, "Those of you whose l'iles have thus been segregated are liable to lose your student deferments (or II-A occupational deferments) should Congress grant President Nixon authority to act. Once the President acts, you will not even be able to have your induction order cancelled andreplacedbyai-S(C) "on campus" deferment Instead the President has indicated that the best you can achieve is a postponement-- not a cancellation-- of your scheduled induction until the end of the .academic semester. What do you think of this whole proposal -- especially you freshman? Do you realize that you could be drafted as early as this summer or fall or, with a postponement, one year from Continued page _31

SYRACUSE NEW TIMES, JANUARY 21, 1971
UNDERGROUND -BESTSELLERS Not since the Mississippi Freedom Summer has the counterculture had a phenomenon with so many barely credible stories to tell as drug dealing. And there are interesting parallels. The struggling and smuggling, the singing and swing, and the constant paranoia which creates its own little world. There's the story of the prisoners who ducked when the lights went out in the elevator of the Jackson City Jail, leaving two fat policemen to club each other. Or the one about Robert Williams, a white man from Natchez whose Vietnam War experience had so turned him off that he began growing his hair in 1964 (vowing not to cut it until Freedom came to Mississippi), and. whose tugboat captain brother hunted him under Klan contract. There are many to be respun with various subplots and themes in rocking chairs by post-A-quarian fireplaces. But the absence of event the limited main-stream public sympathy accorded the civil rights workers has increased the levels of paranoia experienced by the drug dealers, and reduced) at least for them, the romantic aura of the trade. Just as a resurgence of traditional folk music inspired many to Southern activism, the intorduction of extensive drug dealing into the counter-culture has been accompanied by a resurgence of interest in "authentic" down-home blues. With White House vaudevil!e so stale lately, we need all the good stories we can hear. !';specially when they contain a whole. lot of information which might enable members of the tribe to by happy in their work. Such a story is found in DEALING or THE BERKELEY TO BOSTON FORTY BRICK LOST BAG BLUES, although Knopf's prestigious borzoi trademark and the $5.95 pricetag will probably not push it much in the direction of many who could read it with profit, 'BORN TO BE REMAINDERED If. you are suffering from future shock, post-partem deession, or rapidly rising consciousness thefollowingwillend unfinished by your bed: Harvey Swados' STANDING FAST (Doubleday, 656 pages, ... 95) is immediately suspect because of its length. The solidest fiction coming out these days hovers around 150 pages per book as an electronic rush of moods and events seldom allows time for more to be read or written. Swados'
story line reflects the toll taken by a quarter-century of struggle on radicals whose plodding concern about the value of their original committment is matched by the novel's style. For the heirs of Swados' characters, those active today, STANDING FAST lacks the rush of relevance Swados provided with his ON THE LINE, although the information in the new novel is certainly valuable. SHARDS OF GOD by Ed Sanders (Grove Press, 179 pages, $5) may be the author's open letter to all those who still send mail to his Peace Eye Book Store. The store is closed, but Sanders' mail is forwarded mysteriously to an unknown address. Not as heavy-handedly chauvinistic as many of Grove Press releases, Sanders latest effort is held together by a male supremicist point of view filtered through a style best described as Lower East Side Obscure. A roving medium, now in Mexico, had a vision of a Great Roach who told him that Sanders' next book would reveal the relationship between the TateLa Bianca murders and a cocain deal gone awry. Meanwhile,
Shards of God a novel of the Yippies by Ed Sanders

Lost-Bag~ BlDeS"MICHAEL DOUGLAS" A NOVEL BY
Sandra Good is mailing out xeroxed copies of examples of Charles Manson's writings. When I saw "Spahn Ranch" on the return address I heard myself thinking "Good God, now they've got MY name." A cover letter said that when I read Charlie's work I'd see wh~ "they hide his word. "In a poem called SOON, Manson had wr1tten: "Come to the zero/ Before the one was one/ Always before the climax the grand/ Come is come/ A loser never loses/ Wind is never seen/ Be always in the shadowI Love knows what I mean." A PECK OF SALT by John T. Hough, Jr. (Atlantic- Little, Brown, 245 pages, $5.95) has a .lot of good quotes for sociology research papers. But the tone of this narrative of a year spent by an upper-middle-class white boy in a VISTA excursion through a black neighborhood betrays the same detatched patrician noblesse oblige that led Bobby Kennedy to路 believe that he could dredge the pollution out of Lake Erie with the force of his social standing. Both efforts were failures, but at least Kennedy learned from his experience. Continued page 9

The first major revolutionary act of the New Year took place last week in subfreezing temperatures on the Great Plains of Nebraska, in the heartland of America. For his leading part in the insurrection, Morris A~erb~ck of Brooklyn has been selected Freek of the Weak. His pnze of eight crates of excelsior (Excelsior!) and five ga~lons of Triple Jack wine is being shipped to his current residence, Bryce Canyon, Utah, with agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation following closely behind. Morris, a schnook for most of his 23 years, is now a wanted man. "Its nice to be wanted," said Morris, who appears unaffected by his current notoriety. "It's almost like having a mother. I never had a real mother." Morris, as he will tell to anyone who wants to do his biography, was born and raised inaBrooklynbrothel, an unwanted child of the streets. In one of the most fantastic American success stories since Oliver Barrett lV hung up the skates, Morris rose to become the first revolutionary in the nation's history to successfully attack the President of the United States with a snowball. "And," Morris adds proudly, " escape his imperialistic retaliation." Morris's big moment came last Thursday on the campus of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. "When Mr .Nixon (the President) alighted from his limousine at the Coliseum here " the New York Times reported, •a snowball sailed out of the crowd and struck his leg." The entire plot was masterminded by Morris Auerback, formerly of Brooklyn, now head of the militant Padlock faction of the Friends of the Unitarian Church of Kennebunkport. "We got our name from the line 'you threw a padlock on my door, my clothes out on the street, because y~u d?n't want my love no more' from· the song 'Later That Night on the album Cruising with Rueben and the Jets by Frank Zappa and the Mother s of Invention," the underground leader explained. . None of this was reported in the New York Times, upsettmg the sometimes chauvanistic Morris. "Thev will learn," Morris vowed. "It is a common misconception thatAdolphS. Ochs died of natural causes." The attack took less than ,35 of a second to execute, but Morris had been preparing for months. "The biggest coup v:as arranging with the Pope to fix the Cotton Bowl game, allo:vmg Notre Dame to beat Texas and have Nebraska sneak mas

number one1 " ·explained Morris. "We correctly assumed that Nixon would make an appearance at the campus of the topranked team, since by virtue of its highly successful wax machine, its athletic department, it would symbolize all that was good in American education today." Although God was one of the co-conspirators, Morris decided to leave nothing to chance, and imported the snow for his snowball from Grant Park in Chicago. "Careful analysis has proven that the purity of the Lake Michigan snowfall, coupled with the right degree of Chicago's solid waste pollution for good packing, makes the best possible snowball," said the revolutionary hero. "I have, in fact, sent some to Rabbi Meir Kahane of the Jewish Defence League in New York, for use on Russian windows, but now I think that guy is crazy. He's asked for more, butl told him Never Again! The snow was sfiipped to Lincoln unpacked, in a stolen Good Humor truck, arriving the night before the President's appearance. Auerback took all night hand-sculpting, three perfectly balanced spheres. "I use a modified BobCratchit style,' \ he said recalling the famous snowball scene in the Dickens i classic.' "No ice, though. Ice is the napalm of snowballs.' ' Morris arrived at the site early, holding his ammunition in a special double-weight cooler bag he had gotten with some Sealtest chocolate chip ice cream three years ago at a Waldbaum 's store in the Bronx. "Since I h~d to be inconspicuous, I went in disguise," he said. "I think I blended in nicely with my letterman's sweater and my football helmet. • Auerback is 5'2". · It was actually the third, and final shot that hit Nixon. The first two failing to clear the people immediately in front on him, Nevertheless, Auerback e;raded his military strategem as excellent. "I - was almost right on target," he claimed. '1 was aiming !or the ass!--- and I got the leg. •, According to the Times, the President "good naturedly picked it (the snowball) up and tossed it back." Morris disagrees with this, however. "Nixon reacted to the snowball in exactly the manner we had predicted. he would," he said. "It was a symbolic gesture of the coldness with which he is viewed by youth today, and of the basic indignity with which we will continue to look at the Presidency until it becomes more responsive to our wishes. · "Contrary to the Times~ account, Nixon eagerly groped for the partially destroyed weapon, snatched it vindictively in his right hand, glared at the crowd and hurled it with all his might in my general direction." Morris, however, did not think the misrepresentation in the Times was an example of news management. "~ixon does everything so half-heartedly that his glare comes out looking like a good-natured grin would look on normal people," he explained. •And the report that he 'tossed' it back only goes to substantiate what we in the Padlock underground have claimed since the opening of the 1969 baseball season: Nixon throws like a girl." P.S. You, too . can be Freek of the Weak. Send in those nominations. Great prizes, including an autographed copy of the Life Work of Louis Klopsch. ,.,..,.

Erich Goode, Associate Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, surveyed over 200 marijuana users for a research project on drug use. His book, "The Marijuana Smokers• details the results. This aritcle originally appeared in the 1/9/71 New York Times. When the question, "Why do kids smoke marijuana?" is asked of someone society calls an •expert" on drugs-typica.Hy . a local policeman, a gym or "health • teacher, or general practitioner- the expected answer is supposed to sound something like this: 1) marijuana use is an "excapefrom reality"; 2) kids today are troubled, frightened, insecure, and grass is a misplaced effort at. solving problems; 3) smoking marijuana is an ego-boost for youngsters with weak egos and a low self-esteem; 4) when a kid is depressed, when he's in trouble, when he can't handle the complexities of life-he reaches for a joint; 5) marijuana us_e is a product of a too "permissive" society; 6) smoking mar1juana is a result of social pressure, a desire to be fashionable, to be in the swim; 7) smoking grass is a form of rebelEon, of shocking one's parents, a desire to do something • daring and dangerous. The simple fact is, marijuana is fun to smoke. Now this will seem like a flabby justification to anyone who has not allowed himself much pleasure in the past forty years, but hedonism carries a great deal of weight in some circles. In my own study )f marijuana users, pleasure emerged as the dominant motive for continued use. Almost 70 per cent said that sex was a more enjoyable high. Almost 90 per cent said that the simple act of eating became more fun. Almost 90 per cent said that listening to music was a richer, more exciting adventure. What does this portend for future marijuana use? The fear today is that the "hard" drugs have replaced grass, that marijuana is passe, and that the kids have moved on to much more dangerous drugs. No one doubts an increase in heroin use in the past few years. But recent studies still indicate that something like 90 per cent of all episodes of drug use among adoles cents and young adults involve marijuana-and that heroin is still a relative rarity, hysterical cries of "epidemic" to the contrary. Marijuana has become and will continue to be,increl!Singly a recreational drug, and for larger and larger numbers of young (and not so young) people. This will not disappear, and .it will not abate; drug "education" campaigns are doomed to failure·. In nearly all cases, smoking marijuana does not "lead to heroin (whatever that might mean), it does not, with extreme .ly rare exceptions, touch offwhatpsychiatrists call a •psychotic episode", it produces about as much psychological dep13ndence as chewing bubble gum, it does not cause violence, or anything like it, it does not produce a way-of life characterized by apathy, one's ability to drive an automobile-is relatively unimpaired under . the influence of pot- and as far as the long-term organic damage is concerned, the worst that could be said is that there is as yet no proof of it. So the- question has to be: Why not smoke grass?. In the ideological struggle between the pots and the anti-: pots, the liquor-marijuana comparison is perhaps characteristic. This issue, like so many others in the debate, releases displays of rhetoric and polemics from both sides, rather than solid thinking. On hedonism grounds, grass wins hands down; there is more pleasure and less pain packed into each !IDjsode of being high on a joint of marijuana than in bein~r lush-drunk. But observers who argue against the weed discount the comparison with alcohol. Their feeling is that any addition to society of another psychoactive drug is a loss, regardless of how ·low the risk, or how great the pay-off in pleasure. (In f~ct, it is not uncommon to encounter the argument that !Dari]uana is dangerous and damaging precisely because it 1s pleasurable). Marijuana's potential dangers have to be added this argument goes, to alcohol's actual dangers-maidng society worse off than before. On the other hand, the pro-marijuana side takes very seriously the alcohol-marijuana comparison, because by almost· any conceivable set of criteria, marijuana comes out ahead. But the point · is-both . sides are wrong, as well as right, at the s.ame time. Society's toleration of marijuana use would, in fact, decrease the total amount of liquor . consumption-which has to be a gain. But at the same time · this would increase the tota1 number of individuals walldn!i around stoned. Is that a gain? It is impossible to say, and depends on your political, ideological and moral persuasion. It is time for the prepaganda machinery to re-tool. The attempts to justify society's marijuana laws has made their supporters appear foolish. And if they -lack credibility oiJ the pot issue, tne young adult begins to question their truthvalue on the hard drugs as well. It is time to realize that enforcing the marijuana laws is a hopeless enterprise. Outlawing fun has always been a tough job. -

complaints about white media coverage. At the least, their meetings have been lively. But progress has been real and attitudes have reportedly begun to change. Last Tuesday's gig lasted an hour-and-a-half and went nowhere, though superficially touching on a great many things. The place was packed but anyone who came expecting revelations should have stayed in the library. "I've seen enough of this, back to the country club for me," said one cat on his way out. Facetious or not, he meant it.
•••••••• Meanwhile, back downtown, "The Post-Standard/HeraldJournal" turned in a banner week of sloppy work. One exception was "Post Standard" reporter Al Lawrence's morning after account of the student publication meeting. It came off well, though for some reason, the editors saw fit to excerpt Corbally's remarks about next ter'll's student fees, they turned it into a ByStanPinkwas, separate and unsigned s ·ory and ran it in a separate section Last Tuesday's public meeting between three Syracuse Uni- , of the paper.

The next day's "Heraldism Schoo: Dean Wesley Clark proved, if nothing else (and perhaps nothing else,) that SU could do with a great many more Journal" (Jan. 14) came up with a classic case of distortion through omission. Their page one lead story was headlined, such meetings. One meeting is a pointless ceremony of innocence. Even "Court lifts obscene mail ban." The headline occupied 12 inches several meetings may be pointless. The university needs an The Associated Press story they used occupied eight inches. Its position indicated that it was far and away the day's most informal mechanism that will allow administrators and student: editors to talk on a regular basis, publicly and privately. important event.

the laws were probably unconstitutional. They remained unused until a couple of years ago when the government decided to test it once and for all. The two test cases that resulted were the only instances of enforcement. Nor did the story point out that the decision will have absolutely no effect on either the federal law allowing individuals to remove their names from objectionable mailing lists or on the statute against sending pornography through the mails. The latter is the basic postal censorship weapon. In other words the decision will have little or no effect on the volume of pornographic mail or on current post office smut hunting activities. Through display and omission. "The Herald~· Journal" turned a non-story into a scare story. This is journalistic incompetence at its best. But "The Post -Standard" was close behind. On Jan.ll, a page one headline read, "LBJ Denies Accusation by Sadat•. The story was eight paragraphs long. The first seven discussed Sadat's accusation that Johnson had given Israel a go-ahead on the 1967 Six-Day war. The last and only the last paragraph discussed Johnson's denial. AnyllOdy like to guess how an accurate headline would have read? "The Post-Standard" has a bad habit of occasionally stacking unrelated headlines on the front page. Now, I don't know if the paper has a grudge against Philip Berrigan or if it just doesn't give a damn, but last week, on two successive <days, it used this gimmick to editorially link Berrigan with the My Lai massacre and with a British assassination plot. The two illustrations show how the page one headlines appeared. Anyone unfamiliar with any of the three stories Continued page 13

"The Daily Orange • covers the great amorphous Movement, "Dialog" claims to be a voice of moderation, "The Record" is the record, University Union sponsors an art-oriented magazine, and "The Promethean" has a penchant for pictures of rock groups.

could easily and justifiably, on the basis of the heads, ~sume a connection, Papers have been sued for less, But sometimes their purposes are a lot more transparent. Thanks to a fat advertising budget last week's auto show at the War Memorial became tlie most heavily covered "news" event in town. A 12-page advertising pullout that ran in both papers insured a lot of additional promotional stories and dreary publicity photos in the regular news columns, But the topper was a Jan,l3 "Post-Standard" editorial (yes, editorial) .. cleverly titled, "Don't Miss Auto Show." began. "Then you certainly won't want to miss the 62nd Auto Show opening at the Onondaga County War Memorial today and continuing through Sunday---Read the special section in this issue, check the schedule for the stars you want to see, TAKE
ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR OWN CAR and get over to the War Memorial to see what's happened in the auto industry. There will be no high-powered selling. Just enjoy yourself." (Emphasis added.) Like hell, there won't be selling. It's one thing to throw some free coverage to a big advertiser but deliberately trying to manipulate readership on their behalf is something else. A paper so grotesquely careless and so contemptuous of its readership deserves its reader's contempt. Congratulations "Post-Standard~)you've earned it. '""""'"

The International House of Pancakes is another clean, bright family type restaurant offering the usual hamburgers and sandwiches but at least there's an added incentive to going there with the menu offering such intriguing pancake selections as blueberry, strawberry, French, pecan, banana-nut and blintzes. If you're one of those who doesn't like heavy pancakes try the Swedish ones for 95y made with an egg batter and wrapped around lingonberry butter. They're light and although only three are served it's enough for a snack-i! not a meal. However, the strawberry sundae is probably the biggest in the city! Large groups or families can easily be seated at the booths which can accommodate 6 people, or the rear table -12. Syracuse finally has someplace to go where you don't have to drink if you're hungry after midnight on weekends. The restaurant is open until 2 a.m .........

Full Tilt Boogie · (Brad Campbell, Clark Pierson, Noel Pearson, John Till, - Richard Bell) is the finest back-up group · that Janis ElVer performed with. Janis sings her songs of love gone bad, men gone bad, and loneliness with the emotion and feeling that only the late great Janis could. The songs are· as follows: "MoveOver•, "Cry Baby•, "A Woman Left Lonley", "Half Moon", "Buried Alive in the Blues" on side one, "My Baby", "Me and Bobby Mcgee•, "Mercedes Benz" "Trust Me" "Get it While You'can".

Harb~~·
It's not e~y to believe, but there may be a few readers who don't know the story yet. That's no major problem, though, because . the plot is so slight one might think it was scratched out on the back cover of a spiral notebook by some bored college freshman as a .means of getting himself through a lackluster lecture. There's Jenny Caliverri, you see, and she is a beautiful, brilliant, bitche Radcliffe undergrad who hails from a working class Catholic background in a small New England town. And there's Oliver Barrett IV, a handsome Harvard hockey jock whose marks aren't much but who is being pushed on towards law school by his stern, dominating and very, very rich Bostonian father. Opposites attract, as they say in the fulll'y papers, so Jenny and Oliver just don't stand a chance: they peer at each other over the check out desk of the library where she's working to finance her classical music studies, and from the very first time she .mocks him as "Preppie", it's love. But the course of true love, as · they say in the paperback novels, never runs smooth, so first there's Oliver's old man Ipaking things mighty tough by cutting the kids off without a cent when they insist on marrying and when they overcome his influence by getting Oliver all the way through law school (with honors, of course) on their own, there's an unspecified, incurable disease that, as they say in the afternoon soap operas, comes along to take Jenny away from Oliver and fulfill the prophesy of the very first line: "What do you say about a twenty five year old girl who died?". And that's about it. LOVE STORY, that is, as it appeared as a novel by Erich Segal ·(and immediately climbed to the top of the best seller list, where it has been ever since) and as it now exists, with very little changed, in a film version that was scripted by Segal himself and directed by Arthur Hiller. The film has, since its national opening a few weeks ago, been crel!.ting something of a phenomenom all around the country. People stand in line for hours in front of the box office, patiently awating their turns to pay somewhere between $2.50 and $5.00 (depending on which city they happen to live in) and then undergo the ritual of watching Jenny and Oliver finding and losing each other, after which the viewier can re-enter the street, his eyes a bit wet, his heart a might heavier than when he entered. I can't quite fathom the reaction to LOVE STORY. Not just the positive reaction from the masses, mind you, but the negative reaction from the critics and cynics, which has been pretty rough. John Simon and others who share his point of view have dismissed LOVE STORY as the worst kind of rubbish which, aestetically speaking, it most certainly is not. I know one intellectual who, after bad-mouthing the picture and eXpressing his dismay that I could have anything nice to say about it, lowered his eyes guiltily and admitted that he cried at the end. Perhaps the reason I'm not embarrassed about having had a mildly tavorable reaction to LOVE STORY is that I didn't cry. Indeed, the dloser the picture came to its uncomfortable and contrived "tragic" ending, the more it lost me. But on the whole, it is an enjoyable, effectively made film, and certainly a pleasant one to watch. The color photography is quite professional. If much of Segal's writing is simply standard there ~re a number of moments when it is nothing short of sublime, and only rarely does it become downright pathetic. As for the acting, Ali MacGraw seems to be exactly the right person to embody Jenny Caliverri, ·and if Ryan O'Neal is slightly less effective as Oliver (one can only dream about what Robert Redford would have done with the part if he were still young enough to play it) he is far more competent than anybody could ·have supposed from his earlier work. True, the entire piece is terribly sentimental, but like most sentimental poetry, music, and art, LOVE STORY is, while far better than its detractors care to admit, at the same time much less than its legions of fans would have us believe. But what has me amazed is the nearly hypnotic effect the film has had on the American moviegoing public, which is certainly all out of proportion to whatever humble pleasures the picture does offer. And it brings to my mind something I heard Julian, Bond saying on the Cavett Show a few weeks ago. When asked if, like so many other "liberal" politicians he had a •great faith in the youth of America," Bond shrugged and said no, not particularly, that he rather felt the civil rights and peace movements had probably been passing Continue9 page 19

LITTLE FAUSS AND BIG HALSY Robert Redford is Big Halsy, a lithe swaggering motorcyclist who loses his competith. license. Michael J. Pollard is Little Faull, an inept· bike rider who teams up with Halsy as his mechanic/cohort in order to win "the big ones." Playing his usual stumblebum role, Pollard comes through with the expected, although plaasant characterization, while Redform has no trouble fulfilling ford has no trouble filling his role of a stud with all the right nuances. Together Fauss and Halsy make a Mutt and Jeff team that interact nicely on tne screen. Now at the Shoppingtown II theater.
OWL AND PUSSYCAT
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT is the old boy-meets-girl story, but with a slight twist. Barbra Streisand plays a hooker with ·aspirations of bec6ming a legit actress, and George Segal is a bookish bookstore clerk. Together, they're the odd couple all over again. Although basically a comedy, the film slows down when trying to make some serious points on matters such as lonliness. lonliness The film is a bonanza for Streisand or Segal fans. and is now at the -Cinema East

future, the fact there had been np bombings and no violen demonstrations so far this year was, though he approved o neither, a cause for some real concern, for it indicated t~ him a growing indifference towards and even acceptance oJ racism, war, and the other evils which only last winter hail seemed to foster a whole new generation that, like Abbie Hoffman, owed its first allegiance to the growing dreams oJ the ~oodstock Nation". Then came the post-Kent State Spring student Strike which looked like the ultimate slap in the facE to the Establishment and which, ironically enough, destroye~ the Counter Culture more completely than Nixon and Agne'\1 and Mitchell could ever have destroyed it, by fragmenting i and breaking up the University pockets of resistance. Inste~ of taking off early, perhaps we should have stayed on campm all last summer. At any rate, we blew it, and the Woodstocl experience, which might have marked the beginning of a bravE new world, has instead becomealostdream,a modern Camelol a symbol of which was almost brought into being and wh~ slipped through our hands like sand. _If this all seems very out of place in a movie review, . assure you it is not, For LOVE STORY, and its unexpectedlJ immense impact, is inseperably connected to everything ' have been talking about. Movies have always been, along wm music, the prime indicator of where the country is heading and just look at music today, even the music of the Counte1 Culture---Acid rock, which attempted to make the world ove1 through deep personal artistic expression, is out, and thE country rock, with its influences from the more sedate middle American, don't rock the boat heartland is in. And ru for movies, its hard to believe that less than a year ag< critics---with myself right at the top of the list--,-were dis· cussing the way in which EASY RIDER had opened up a nev age in AII!erican filmmaking, heralding an era of artistic personal statement pictures. No more obvious proof that thE point of th"! book FUTURE SHOCK is exactly right could bE found than the popularity of LOVE STORY, already, thE EASY RIDER era is over (and some of us thought it hadn' really begun yet!) and the same producers who, at the beginning of 1970 were insisting on more mature, relevant, an1 timely films are now looking. for general market stuff. Fo1 a year and a half now Dennis Hopper's next opus, THE LAS1 MOVIE, has been the most highly awaited project in movi history, but I have a sneaking suspicion that by the time it'1 released, nobody (except a few of us) will really care. Look closely and you'll see this all over.

LICKERISH QUARTET
Radley Metzger is the producer/director who achieved a certain amount of notoriety with his sexploitation epic, "Therese and Isabelle'; a film chronicling the sexual adventures of two school-age girl friends. THE LICKERISH QUARTET is his widely released film which L delves into the power of illusion through the exploration of an erotic film on the people who watch. it, and the girl who performs in it. Although THE LICKERISH QUARTET deal deals with the instability of truth and the preexistence of fantasy, there is still plenty of bare skin and raw sin to be· seen both in the real film and the film-within-the-film.

Eisenhower years were?) says the radicals and other such loud minorities. Yet I c.a n't help but recall what Emily Dickinson had to say about sanity: Much madness is divinest sense To a discerning eye; Much sense the starkest madness. 'Tis the majority In this, as all, prevails. . Assert, and you·are sane; Demur,--you're straightaway dangerous, And handled with a chain.

TWELVE
CHAIRS
Mel Brooks' insanity runs the ganiut from tasteless to absurd all the ws.y up to devastatingly brilliant. Much of what is sef~!l through his omniscient, perceptive eyes as ridiculous will more often than not appear to the rest of us as highly uninteresting and flatly mundane. For this singular reason, one must take great pains when judging the work of Mr. Brooks to mindfully extend the conventional limitations which artistic appraisal normally affords, and grant him the luxury of an unusually lax, under-restricted form of creative/aesthetic Anyway, if you've grown tired of hearing about the race license. Ergo; this "review" will less endeavor what would be problem, or about the endless war in Asia, you appear to a futile attempt at critique than to modestly offer a number of be in luck, for a while at least. The beginnings of the seven- observations arrived at after viewing his latest film, THE ties look strikingly like the early fifties. And the endless TWELVE CHAIRS. Brooks is what is known as a •consummate" film artist, in cycle starts again. It doesn't appear that there's going to be the straight technical sense of the word. He'll hit upon an idea a civil war after all, so if you were worried about the safety of your house in the suburbs, you can relax. Instead, there's which he feels merits serious consideration, then mold it into going to be a lot less pictures of angry blacks on the cover a structured although not necessarily coherent, se4uence of of Life, and a lot more snap~hots of smiling Buckleys. events, and finally draw up a screenplay.

And wait, until like Yeats' rough best, and appearing in a typically Brooks-ish cameo role. The film strongly suggests that Brooks' screenplay in this their time comes round again. instance was both underdeveloped and treated perfunctorily.

The plot was irrevocably and hopelessly spineless, so all one could anticipate was that Brooks would incorporate his usual menagerie of maniacs pratfalling into the most unlikely, ridiculous, but hysterical of situations. Nothing doing, perhaps Your best bet for 'a fum this week is the impressive three isolated instances merited hearty laughs, and Dom Dedouble feature at the University Regent Theatre,Kondouros' Luise was responsible for all of them.

1esthetic cinematography, as the shots of the Russian landscape were gorgeous, Frank Langella's performance strongly implied that the Syracuse University graduate possesses a limited scope of expression, playing up the singular emotion of wrath whenever the opportunity even slightly suggested it. This is not to say that he won't "make it", for he is a charismatic personality and has eyes that mesmerize. Until he proves otherwise, though, I'll hold his ability play anything but a bastard in serious question. Dom DeLuise was adequately funny, yet was uncomfortably suggestiv ) of Zero Mostel, who happens to be one of the few comic geniuses in existence. Ron Moody fascinated me for some reason, probably because he was exceptional in a film that hardly warranted such persuasive acting. The film is ·at the Studio theatre, and I'd recommend you see it over a good manv other films. ,.,,_

TWELVE DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS INCLUDING: NATURE'S WAY /MORNING WILL COME/MR. SKIN WHEN I YOU/ANIMAL ZOO
Harold Feigenbaum The thing I admfre most in a recording is a sense of adventure, an experimentatioll with the many facets ofrecording. I admire a producer who has new and exciting ideas and a group which has the patience and know-how to make his theories a reality. Tliis is why I both admire and enjoy the new Spirit album, "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus," I can easily say that the production is the most innovative and creative of any record that comes to mind. And the performance is up to the high par of excellence that Spirit has always displayed on their albums. The technique and structure of producer David Briggs and Musicians is an overwhelming new dimension of sound. One sits on first listening in a dumbfounded aura of amazement at this work which possibly surpasses "Sgt. Pepper" in its technological assets. Enough praise can not be given to David Briggs on his production. The group shows dynamic range from accoustics to highly complex electrical sound. Randy California is certainly the most proficient in guitar effects. Jay Ferguson's vocals are filtered and enhanced with use of the Moog synthesizer and all the effects a modern recording studio can offer. Mark Andes on bass, Cassidy on drums, and John Locke on keyboards epitomize fine musicianship and "tight" sound, possibly even more so than most groups. · Spirit always impressed me with their knowledge of music theory, I remember seeing them at the Fillmore where they were able to join together every song in their act into one. They accomplish this in several places on the album for example, the connection of "Animal Farm" to "Love Has Found a Way", the latter song is possibly one of the finest

The Morrison arrests were at first amusing, but began to get boring, until even ,the r.umor that he overdosed on speed didn't disturb too many peqple. For all the promise they showed, the Doors never really went anywhere. . Their first album was out in early 1967, before many people were aware of the Grateful Dead, Cream or Jimi Hendrix, to name a few who stand out from that year in America. Elektra was coming more into rock with the Doors and Love topping their bill. Groups with unusual names were the rage and the Doors fit right in. . But unlike groups like the Freak Scene or the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, the Doors survived. They made it because they were good. Really good. Morrison's voice was strong and · Joyce Siat haunting and they used the organ to great advantage when most groups featued the guitar only. In an attempt to put the Doors on the record stands again So they made it. But since the first album,they did not improve and to make a little money, Elektra has released a "best of" with the crowd until maybe, "Soft Parade". And they went type album by the Doors, called "Thirteen", consisting of that nowhere from there. many songs. They had tri'ed for mystery and toughness, while putting out To please the record-buying public, many ofwhom they must songs like "Hello I Love you." which didn't quite get across apologize to concerning the Doors, there is nothing from the what they were trying to prove, "Wishful Sinful," which totally live album. In fact, more than half the songs are from the first contrasted it, and the pretentious "Horse Latitudes", which two albums, "The Doors" and "Strange Days, vintage 1967. defeated it. and the remaining six are from three later albums, "Soft At times they were just too blatent---too angry at the Parade,", "Waiting for the Sun" and "Morrison Hotel".

They were condesaddition, eight were hit singles. cending on stage and it got to a point when Morrison's actions The music on this album is fine stuff-most of it by no means could only excite himself and the cops. the best of the Doors, yet very good listening. But it's from five When a group goes as far as the Doors did, it's easy to fine albums, most of which you should already be enjoying if doubt their music thinking that maybe they need all those you expect to like "Thirteen". eroticisms to put themselves over. So when people lost faith The album is a favor to the people who have lived in the in the Doors, it was just another step to lose interest in their dark for the past four years and wish to be introduced to the music.

Next Gest Thing to Going Barefoot
MARYLAND-SOUTH CAROLINA BASKETBALL. That Maryland-South Carolina rematch at College Park was really something, wasn't it? The game was an easy sellout and was also shown on local TV. · Lefty Dreisell, the Maryland mentor, did the coaching ranks a disservice, however, by promising blood after his t am lost the first game at South Carolina. Even though he took it back later, I'd say he deserved some sort of a reprimand. Someone could ·easily have gotten killed if a riot starteu. There are painful examples at South American soccer matches to prove it. What's that about yelling fire in a crowded theater?. Dreisell got his revenge when his team put on a stall and a fantastic rally in the overtime period to win. Most observers condemn the freeze as being both poor and dull basketball (It led to the 24-second rule in the NBA). I'm not sure I agree. Once in a while it's okay and actually quite exciting. Why should an inferior team run with a better one if it knows it can't win? It's rough to try it in an away game, though. The fans are likely to run you right off the court.
OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD. It must be an occupational hazard but some might want t • call it poetic justice. The very same day my column appeare~ last week criticizing Bill Smith, the Syracuse basketball center, Smith went out and scored a school record of 47 points against Lafayette - Touche. In what was certainly a misunderstood piece, I meant II no way to say Smith isn't a good basketball player. Anyon who can score that many points in a game has to have something. But a player's worth is not always measured in th number of points he can score but instead whether he ~~lp• his team win. Wilt Chamberlain used to score 60 or 70 pomtl in a game and average around 50 and his team would lose He also lead the league in rebounds and set a record for center for assists. But he has only one championship to sho~ for it. And that was with a team loaded with stars. so with all respect to Smith, Syracuse simply has not wo · any big games in his three years, nor has it won any c~amp~on ships (no post-season play, for example). There lS stlll chance this year, however, and we'll find out after the exan break.
NBA ALL-sTAR GAME. The NBA came up with a real plum with this year's allstar game. I usually don't think much of all-star games in any sport but this one was an exception. It was close all the way (the West won by one point) and very exciting. The game certainly didn't hurt the NBA's TV ratings which are at an all-time high. Inside sources say ABC is giving . serious consideration to putting on a full slate of Monday night games next year to match its highly-successful football telecasts. Another NBA change in the works is the lengthening of the games from 48 to 60 minutes. The games now usually take only about two hours and so league officials feel they can make it a little longer. The idea is to achieve better balance in the league by making depth more important than a single superstar. Specifically, this is aimed at reducing the domination of the big man, a -point I suggested in an earlier column. A longer game will make it harder for the starting center to go all the way and even if he does his effectiveness is bound to be reduced.
FRANK VERDL No better example of the pettyness of a baseball club c be pointed out than . the sudden ending of Frank Verdi a manager of the Syracuse Chiefs. The Yankees, the Chief parent club, have never been known as big spenders and the showed why with Verdi. Now here's a guy who leads the Chiefs to two play-ol championships and a pennant in two years. But what does h get for all this? Nothing. Verdi wanted to renegotiate hi contract for a minor wage hike. He also was interested l moving up to the big leagues. Based on his record, you' think both were reasonable, In fact, how many good manager are there that the Yankees can toss one out? Anyway I've never been much of a Yankee fan and this give me one more reason to dislike them. . c ontmued page 31

JOAN BAEZ-
THE FIRST TEN YEARS Jud Rosebush, VANGUARD VSD-6560/1 (2 discs). Not too long ago, when I was working in a radio station in Ohio, we had a morning man who despised J oan Baez. I don't think it was anything personal, he just didn't like people who went aro'und protesting. Or had long hair. Or practiced pediatracs and advocated Vietnam withdrawal. And so on. I doubt if Joan Baez will ever touch his sensitivities, but her energy has nowed to millions of others. Most of these people will ·find THE FIRST 10 YEARS more than a "Best of" album that contains someof Joan's finest material and a book of pictures • . THE FIRST 10 YEARS is a CURRICULUM VITAE of this woman, a document of a movement, a reflection. It is a time for one to linger over thoughts, events, people and places; a momentary reprieve from which we return to the present.

GO PLACIDLY AMID
THE NOISE AND THE HASTE. by
J. Herbert Smith
A
diai Stevenson was a great man. His son is now a Senator from Illinois, where Adlai was once governor. He ran for President almost three times---in 1960 the nod went to a younger man. From what I can gather he was kind of the Gene McCarthy of the 1950's. Anyway, the people who worked for Gene McCarthy way back in 1968,(remember?) and who were over 40, kept talking how this is like "the old Stevenson days. • Gene is retired and Adlai is dead, but they still can make you stop and think. The problem is that we are all going too fast. A self-made millionaire once told me that you've got to get past first and second gear before you can look around. Once you're in third gear, and only then, should you take some time to see what is happening. He likes horse racing, and I have always likened him to a horse on the trackwithblinders over its eyes--seeing only what is ahead and getting there as fast as he can. Stevenson was going to send a message, the origin of which is uncertain, to his friends for Christmas in 1965, but he died. Called "Desiderata•, it comes from the 17th or 18th century Europe; Perhaps it is worth a moment of reflection-~ "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and agressive persons, they are vexations of the spirit, If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there -will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you io what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life _is full of heroism, Be yourself. Especially do not feign effection.- Neither be cynical about- love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."

BOOK REVIEW. It may be a little late for a review but I've just finished reading one of the better new sports books, BALL FOUR by Jim Bouton, and it's too good to pass up witnout saymg a word or two. Bouton's book is supposed to destroy many of the myths surrounding baseball's Cinderella world, It does a good job. It's funny in parts and certainly shows that ballplayers are not the near perfect creatures the publicity men make them out to be. Bouton describes teams as being filled with pettyness and personality problems. The most famous items is about Mickey Mantle slamming a bus window down on some kid's hand as · the kid was reaching in to get an autograph. One of the many other players who takes it on the chin is Elston Howard. Howard went into a tirade one day in the Yankee clubhouse. He denounced the guy who anonymously told a sports writer about poor management and morale on the Yankees (which the writer turned into a story). Howard said whoever said that oughtto be found and fined a thousand dollars. Later, Bouton found out from the writer who the guy was. You guessed it, if you said Elston Howard. Another major topic in the book is how baseball players are obsessed with sex. This obsession made me wonder how they ever get anything else done. For example, Joe Schultz, the Seattle Pilots manager, calls over · a player from the other end of the dugout during a game. The player expects a tip on something that's going on in the game. Instead, Schultz says, "Check the rack on that broad in section 13". On balance, Bouton is a little harsh but the book is very interesting and well worth reading.

BALTIMORE WINS SUPER BOWL. The Dallas Cowboys have no one to blame but themselves for losing the Super Bowl, They had the game and they gave it away. There's a lot of talk about how a jinx follows them but I don't go for that. You make your own big plays and that is exactly what Baltimore did. The Cowboys played so cautiously in the second ba:l.f that they .generated almost no offense. The cautious play allowed the momentum to shift to the Colts. The Cowboys defense played an outstanding game but the team let the defense play the whole game for them and it wasn't quite enough. Nothing but praise goes to Jim O'Brien for his $7500 field goal. With all the dough riding on that kick anyone who could make it is pure ice, baby, pure ice. N{lthing but lack of praise goes to me for getting wiped out again on my predictions. I missed out on both who would be the favorite and who would win. I guess it's just one of those years ..........

today? Are you that anxious for a leave of absence to help w_ith Vietnamization? Please let us know immediately what you think Congress should do about the student deferment. We also want to hear from all of you on any other aspect of draft reform' or abolition: How many of you favor a volunteer army? How many are opposed? Why? What should Congress do about conscientious objection? Should all C. 0 , 's be granted exemption automatically upon request? If so, do you also favor a national service pr~gram whereby you can volunteer for some form of meanmgful civilian work in lieu of military service? Or should the standard for conscientious objection merely be reworded? If so, what words would you like to see enacted? (After all, it's your exemption!) Do you want the right .to counsel before your draft board? Do you want the right to appear before your appeal board? Do you want botn boards to write opinions explaining the reasons for their decisions? When deciding upon your answers to these questions you ~ight bear in mind that students currently have an advantage m the draft "game". These advantagesplaceotheryoung~enin a disadvantaged position. The Army will get the men 1t needs. The . . . only question is how tliey will do it. Please send us al\ your proposals, opm10ns, complamts, curses and hopes so that we can represent you in Washington. Write ~ow to "~astering the Draft," Suite 1202, 60 East 42nd Street, New York N.Y. 10017...._

It is the A.M. Radio side of the Doors--the songs that already made it and, Elektra hopes, will be fondly remembered and make it again. But this side of the Doors is an extremelv limited facade, because Elektra was not selective e~ough as it lumped all the better-known songs together, just because they were so. Inevitably, the album falls flat. ·-·

The song was "This Diamond Ring," 2, Lorretta Yotmg's son, Moby Grape's Peter Lewis. 3, Spirit. 4, Scaffold's Mike McGear (Paul McCartney's brother). 5, Ric and Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, 6, Australia's Bee Gees, 7, Beach Boy's Brothers Records. 8, Elton John's "Song of Your Father, " 9, Steve Willwood. 10, Ray and Dave Davies of the Kiriks. 11.
