January 21,1971
IF YOU WOULD
TAKE THE TIME
Tne pepsi-generativn, nurtured
on coke, has provided the tune,
place, and setting for a mutant
species of an unknown, but
common, origin to develop. With
a bit of imagination one could call
the rock culture the American
Beauty.
American Beauty is the title of
the Grateful Dead’s most recent
mouse production. In a recent
issue of Rolling Stone, so I’m told,
Jerry Garcia was quoted as
saying that this album is a more
or less continuation of
Workingman’s Dead. It is more
thanless!
Since their conception the Dead
have been primarily a band to
experience alive and recorded at
tempts until the two most recent
albums have always lacked the
electricity that the band
generates in person. In the
beginning their, albums were
products of the West Coast music
boom, during which record
companies dragged every band
they could lay their hands on in
off the streets, handed them a
contract, and attempted to have
the live Tree bands of those early
days record for profit. The last of
studio experience shows in a good
many of the early Frisco-groups
albums. (Catch Big Brother’s
first.)
So, we have the Grateful Dead
an always popular (to certain
cross-sections of the American
Breed.), live band producing
primarily so-so studio attempts
until Workingman’s Dead and
now American Beauty.
It should be obvious that' what
follows is what it is and couldn’t
be anything else. Nonetheless it
isn’t what you may think...

to another world. . .a world of
fantasties.. .so can acid-dreams.
The cartoons of the mind are
strange, very strange indeed. .
.and maybe to your ears the tale
of a band would also be strange
indeed.
-In a box of rain can be found
sweet voices joined in the
celestial harmony that has
confounded mystics for cen
turies. It isn’t quite the country
you’re in as much as the Garcia
guitar which shines through the
splintered sunlight and'while I
don’t know who put it there, if you
don’t find enjoyment you can
merely, or if you do find en
joyment, you can merrily, pass it
on.
Can you believe that there can
be beauty in a friend of the devil?
Lesh innovations can transfigure
more than you might believe, but
with the guru of so many pointing
out the direction, who could go
wrong! Unburdening his mind
our friend tells us that if I get
with troubles on his mind, like
sweet Maria, or a sheriff
following, you can understand
what I’m saving.
Alimony, matrimony, and the
first one says she’s got my child,
but he don’t look like me. The
music to accompany this tale
would have to be moving, but not
raunchy or pricky like a cactus,
right? And only a mandolin could
deceive you.
In how many ways can a person
find love. . .could Hermine or
Maria fulfill your needs. . .where
is love like a groupie. . .we can
discover the wonders of nature,
rolling in the rushes discover the
wonders of nature, rolling in the
rushes down by the riverside.. .in
a sunshine daydream?
Sugar Magnolia moves in a
myraid of alluring ways, all
which invoke differing spirits, as
varied in their make-up as the
book of changes. Bob Weir sang it
in Cleveland and you could find
him for yourself if you only had
the desire.
Have you ever made a phone
call to an operator and found that
she knew something you didn’t
know, but wanted to, and she
wouldn't tell you?
Operator has to be a working
model of Pig Pen’s mind. He
wrote this chapter and adds harp
and a bit of his country mind.
Only in a Tom Wolfe journey
could you find a candyman and
could you get caught up in the
rhythm of a ride, a bus ride
maybe.
Jerry Garcia sings a song to
you and will you listen to his steel
guitar? The benignly he-ell is too
much. Organ riffs found their
way into the end of act one and as
the curtain falls you feel like just
laying motionless and allowing
your mind to flow into a thousand
melodic patterns, but you know
that there will come a time to rise
and go up, over, up, record, over,
back, and down to await act two.
Let there be songs to fill the air
and if the mandolin finds your
heart, roll with it. Join Jerry
Garcia as he leaves nothing
unsung and wanders over a path
where your steps alone may
tread and if I knew the way, I
would take you home. There is a
road, no simple highway. .
.ripple!
On my hands and knees I found
a brokendown palace and in a bed
by the waterside, I’ll lay my
head, to listen to the river sing
sweet songs and my head will
rest soundly beneath a weeping
willow. You could only describe
these things if you have been
there, right?.. .so be there.. .fare

Throughout the night and the
changes, it takes a driving beat to
ward off the fears of the on
coming day. With a guide, you
can push worries aside, and it is
afterall your choice.
If you found a house you would
explore it, correct? If you found a
your mind, would you explore it?
The mysterious softness beckons
to you to taste the tastes no
tongue can know and to find the
cloudy dreams unreal, all in the
attics of my life, where all the
pages are my days.

mine, you dreamed of me. . .what

AMERICAN PIECES,
Some Of The Action
AMERICAN PIECES, an
evening of four one-act plays, will
be presented in the R.U.B.
Lecture Hall at 8:30 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, January 22
and 23. The program traces the
development of the one act play
from the typically relaxed
comedy of the thirties to the
strange and often suspenseful
absurdist drama of the con
temporary theater.
Dorothy Parker and Ring
Lardner, both primarily known
for their short stories, are
represented on the program, as
are contemporary playwrights,
Edward Albee and Arthur Kopit.
Aimed at the adult theater-goer,
all of the plays are entertaining
and thought provoking.
The humor of the thirties
always popular with audiences is
evident in Dorothy Parker’s
“Here We Are.” Kathy Skopow
and Dennis Hart are cast as the
newlyweds who find that even
love isn’t a protection when you
say the wrong thing at the wrong
time.
Though written after the
Depression, Ring Lardner’s “The
Tridget of Greva” is modern in
its concept. This short piece
featuring John Greer, Miles
Rank and Sheldon Greenwald in
its cast was actually the
precursor of the theatre of the
absurd that was to follow.
The author of “Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?” is represented
on the program also. Edward
Albee examines the American
ritual of death in an unexpected
location with the assistance of
some unusual characters in “The
Sandbox.” The cast includes
Linda Krebs, Pat Carlyle, Dennis
Hart, Mike Chircuzio, and
Sheldon Greenwald.
Arthur Kopit, author of “Oh
Dad, Poor Dad..”, is thought of as
one of America’s better young
playwrights. His “Chamber
Sunday Night
At The Movies
The Student Union Board’s
movie of the week is the Oscar
winning classic A Man For All
Seasons. One of the most honored
films of our time, A Man For All
Seasons won six Academy
Awards, four New York Film
Critics’ prizes, and highest ac
claim from the Screen Directors’
Guild and the National Board of
Revue. The screen play was
adopted from Robert Bolt’s work
of the same name and stars Paul
Scofield as Thomas More. Also
starring are Robert Shaw, Wendy
Hiller, Orson Welles, and
Susannah York.
A Man For All Seasons will be
shown on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. and
again at 9:15. Prices are 50 cents
and $l.OO.

SUB To Bring
Arthur Hull
As part of its cultural program,
the Behrend Student Union Board
plans to present The Arthur Hall
Afro-American Dance Ensemble.
The Ensemble’s goal is to teach
worlds of People about their
cultural heritage, including both
black and white worlds who
might equally respond to the
dancing drums of Africa or the
cakewalk, jitterbug, and frug of
the American experience.
Mr. Hall stresses the fact that
Africa is the ancestral home of all
Black people, and the need for
learning to appreciate the beauty
of the music, art, dance, and
literature as “keys to the soul of a
people.” Arthur Hall’s focus on
the American Black Cultural
tradition has been described as
presenting “meaningful vitality,
artistic integrity, professional
skills and historical knowledge”
through music and the dance.
The artistry and dignity of in
terpretations of native African
dances are proof of the beauty of
blackness.
The Arthur Hall Afro-
American Dance Ensemble will
appear on January 30at 8:00 p.m.
in Erie Hall. Admission is free
with activity cards, 75 cents for
all other Behrend Students, and
$1.50 for the general public.
