A jaunt through the sci-fi of life
“The Stories of Ray Bradbury,” by Ray

creative process to being

his science fiction and fiction. They are
all stories about people and how they
react to their situations. Since most of
the stories are set in the future or in
mythical Green Town, 111., who can say
what has or will come true, and what is
only a dream or nightmare?
None of these stories were written for
this collection; all are previous releases.
Not all of Bradbury’s stories are contain
ed here, but it represents a good mixture
from different times and moods of his
career. Since the collection was put
together by Bradbury himself, I respect
the choices as all good ones, but then
again, I never read a Bradbury story I
didn’t like.
Bradbury uses children a lot; we see
joy, pain, hate and the future through
their eyes. I think Bradbury has an af-
Ray Bradbury
fection for children, but unlike most
adults, he realizes their potential, both
for good and evil.
Two of his stories demonstrate this
view of children. “Tomorrow’s Child” is
a futuristic story about a short circuit in
a birth machine which causes a baby to
be born into another dimension as a
seven pound, eight ounce, blue pyramid.
“The Small Assassin” explores the no
tion that a baby can be born with com
plete emotional facilities. The mother
knows her baby hates her; she can feel it
even before the baby is born. Sure
enough, she is right. The infant proceeds
to kill both his parents before the doctor
“operates” to stop the tiny assassin.
Bradbury has a special way of
touching the reader with his simple,
nnpfir Qtvlp
In “The Leave-Taking,” the great
grandmother who shingled roofs,
repaired bicycles, stoked furnaces, and
much more, decides one day it is time to
die. She goes, to her room and calls the
family.in ,to say good-bye. Her grandson
cries because she “won’t be here tomor
row,” and she says to him and to us, “No
person ever died that had a family. I’ll
be around a long time. A thousand years
from now a whole township of my offspr
ing will be biting sour apples in the gum
wood shade.” How real Bradbury makes
this scene. I can almost see the grand
mother busily dying as she busily did
everything in her lifetime.
Trains ’and rttachines of all types are
almost characters in Bradbury’s stories.
When a car breaks down at the climax of
one story, somehow I felt like the damn
car did it on purpose.
In “The Vacation,” the last family in
the world traveled the country in a
motorized handcar which ran on
railroad tracks. The handcar broke
down in the perfect spot for a picnic, the
family began to relax and when they let
their true feelings show, they began to
breakdown just as the handcar did.
All of these stories make a wonderful
potpourri that is perfect to read in the
Halloween season. Some are scary
enough to make you fear the monsters
under your bed, and some give you that
wonderful feeling that spring will come
again someday.
If we let him, Bradbury can take us for
a wonderful ride on his bicycle-built-for
two. Who knows where it will lead, but
oh, what a ride!

Todd's Utopia: the unexpected
By STEFANIE PLEET
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
In the face of Utopia’s encore per
formance at Penn State, there is
much question about what to expect.
Utopia formed in 1974 and features
Todd Rundgren on guitar and vocals,
keyboardist Roger Powell, Kasim
Sulton on bass and vocals, and drum
mer John Wilcox.
Rundgren, who needs no introduc
tion, can best be remembered for his
hit pop singles with the Nazz like
‘‘Hello It’s Me” or his excursions
deep into the realm of rock with LPs
“Utopia” and “A Wizard, A True
Star” depending on your musical
associations. Some of his lesser
known endeavors include producing
Meatloaf’s debut LP, Hall and Oates
“War Babies,” Shaun Cassidy’s
latest entitled “WASP,” The Tubes,
Steve Hillage and Patti Smith.

Powell is known for his innovative
technologicl accomplishments with
synthesizers and worked on David
Bowie’s . “Low” and “Heroes”
albums.. Sulton played for New York
rock singer Cherry Vanilla and
makes frequent backing vocal ap
pearances on various artists’ LPs.
After Rundgren produced “War
Babies,” he recruited Wilcox who
drummed on that Hall and Oates
release.
For their ’77 Penn State gig, Utopia
was touring “RA.” Into the total rock
show, the band hit the stage adorned
with lasers and elaborate set design.
This is ’BO and extravagant stage
shows seem to have gone the way of
prolific music. The title of Utopia’s
fourth and latest release on
Bearsville (Todd’s own) Records
describe the digression perfectly.

Trick or treat?
No, these students aren’t dressed fun
ny for Halloween. They’re members
of the Monty Python Society of Penn
State, awaiting the return of Britain’s
hilarious comedy series, Monty
Python’s Flying Circus to WPSX-TV.

p.m. Tuesday on Channel 3.
and recorded on “Deface the Music.”
Off on another commercial stint,
Utopia parodies a parody with this
LP, which is a complete turn from
last year’s “Adventures In Utopia.”
In comparing titles it is apparent that
adventurous has taken to humor in
this new Beatles parody, second only
to The Rutles. “Deface the Music”
twists ingenue love songs and turns
them into suggestive pop hits perfect
for commerical success in these new
wave days. Who was The Knack until
their external emergence mimicked
The Beatles?
Coming to the realization that this
does absolutely nothing for Saturday
night’s potential audience in the
what-to-expect area, I only say it is
very rare to see a band do much in the
way of old material after a new
release. In other words, don’t expect
the expected.
