arts At Bucknell, Ramones stay tough By ALLEN LEE VAY Collegian Arts Writer Over the last few years punk rock seems to have lost a lot of the momen tum, style and loyal fans that it used to have. Many bands have gone by the wayside in their search for success while others have just mellowed out to suit the public, giving in to fads, disco and hateful critics. While there are those who have made concessions to mass taste, The Ramones have been grinding away their own hard core style for 12 years and are still going strong. The Ramones gave an incredibly intense and loud perfor mance this weekend as they per formed Saturday night for about 700 loyal fans at Bucknell University. The show began with an hour per formance by a Connecticut band known as The Reducers, who played some unknown original tunes to an unresponsive but polite crowd. Many became impatient as they continued, however, and soon the recognizable chanting of “Hey-Ho, let’s go!” be gan to rise up from the fans on the floor as they anticipated the arrival of the Ramones. With a brief inter mission, the lights of Davis Gymnasi um went down and a booming recording of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly piped through the amplifiers while smoke and purple lights enve loped the stage. The Ramones opened their act with a slightly longer version of Teenage Lobotomy, which they bellowed out at about 114 decibels, much to the de light of the mob in front of the stage, members of which immediately be gan to thrash about and slam dance. Following Joey Ramone’s mumbled greeting to Pennsylvania the band flayed several of their better known songs such as Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wan na Be Sedated, and Rockaway Beach. Many of the tunes that the band played seemed, to be performed for Two Ramones lead singer Joey (at left) and drummer Marky showed off their elegant style in Bucknell’s Davis Gym on Saturday night. 'Big Joe' Turner dies at 74; wrote 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - “Big Joe” Turner, the blues singer who popularized “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” “Sweet Sixteen,” and other songs now identified with early rock ’n’ roll, died Sunday. He was 74. Turner died at Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital of kidney failure as a complication of diabetes, said his wife, Patricia. Turner, “a blues shouter in the noble Kansas City urban blues tradi tion,” suffered from diabetes and heart trouble, said music historian Leonard Feather. The Kansas City, Mo., native at tracted a following after appearing in Vignettes show opera's lighter side By ELENA BATES Collegian Arts Writer For those who believe that a pair of opera glasses and a thorough knowledge of Italian are necessary to enjoy an opera, the University Opera Workshop proved them wrong with a thoroughly delightful performance last Tuesday night in the Music Building Recital Hall. The group also gave a repeat performance last Thursday night. The program consisted of six scenes performed by University students. Particularly helpful for the novice opera goer were the program notes, which explained each scene and the fact that the pieces were sung in English. The first half of the program consisted of scenes from Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, Donizet ti’s The Elixir of Love, Monteverdi’s The Coro nation of Poppaea, and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers. Sharon Benner and Maedean Weaver, the performers in Hansel and Gretel, presented a cute portrayal of a brother and sister trying to get out of their chores. The two actresses’ voices complemented each other as they alternately quarreled and played in their duet. As Dulcamara in The Elixir of Love, Mark Hensel got widespread laughter for his humorous portrayal of the quack doctor. This duet displayed his and Russell Wynn’s (Nemorino) well-rounded purposes of nostalgia, as most selec tions were from its older albums Leave Home and Rocket to Russia, with less emphasis on its recent Too Tough To Die LP. Al though the songs, for the most part, were recognizable, many were played too loud for the crowd to differentiate the lyrics sung by Joey Ramone from those by backup vocal ist and bassist Dee Dee Ramone. The band continued through their assault on the ears for about an hour and a half, taking breaks only twice during the performance; the remain ing time was split apart only by the trademark screaming of “1-2-3-4!” between songs. Guitarist Johnny Ra mone climbed repeatedly atop a small amplifier, looking up to the crowd only occasionally as he gri maced and sneered through the set. With his body curled in the shape of a pale “S”, Johnny played thousands of three cord downstrokes. Obviously the band was tired as it closed the show. Joey Ramone, who had begun the show with small foot shuffles and energetic yells, was now listlessly playing with the micro phone wire and staring at the floor. His thin body towered over the stage, and when the last song was over, he dropped the mike stand and blankly walked off stage, while Dee Dee Ra mone shook a few hands before saun tering off. In total the performance was exceptional for the Ramones, who have been on the road almost every year for the last ten years. The band played its best for the crowd, giving them their trademark version of rock ’n’ roll loud and clear. The responsive audience showed its ap preciation to a band who has re mained a mainstay of the original style of punk rock. As far as the Ramones themselves are concerned, they are the only real rock ’n’ roll band still performing today. In the dressing room before the 1938 “From Spirituals to Swing” concert at Carnegie Hall in New York; “He was one of the indirect proge nitors of rock ’n’ roll” because he was the first to perform and make popular songs later taken up by Bill Haley and His Comets and others,, Feather said. Among those songs, all written by others but performed by Turner, were "Shake, Rattle and Roll,” “Sweet Sixteen,” “Chains of Love,” and “Corina, Corina.” Turner had said he was not upset that others enjoyed more success than he did. with the songs. “He did a pretty good job with it,” voices. Corey Snyder, as Adina, had a very strong voice that projected well. The lighter side of falling in love was protrayed by Thomas Heaney and Patricia Ryan, who played the two servants in The Coronation of Poppaea. This humorous and sweet scene was blemished by Ryan’s lack of breath control. The Gondoliers’ domestic scene of the two hus bands and two wives trying to sort out their problems was portrayed nicely. Unfortunately, three performers’ voices (William Buchanan, Ke vin Warner and Nancy Winkelblech) sounded as if they were dampened to make up for Tessa (played by Catherine Barnes), who could barely be heard. Such efforts also seemed to lead to a downplay of the usually spirited Gilbert and Sullivan gestures. The second half of the program consisted of scenes from Gluck’s Orpheus and Euridice and Strauss’ Die Fledermaus. One aria from Orpheus and Euridice was the only program piece sung in Italian which was translated in the program notes. It was also the only dramatic scene in the program. While the performance was moving, Patty Goodwin as Orpheus had trouble giving strength to her voice until the end. Die Fledermaus seemed to be the favorite with the audience, receiving the most laughter and viewer participation of the evening. Here, The the concert, Joey Ramone smoked a cigarette and ate peanuts while looking for his leather jacket. “Back in the middle 1970 s everybody was forgetting how to play basic fun rock and roll I think they were forget ting'what it was all about. There were too many trends in those days,” Joey Ramone said before the show. “We stuck to our guns, so to speak, and toured our asses off, and as far as I can tell we re-revolutionized the American rock and roll band.” The Ramones feel that their influ ence also helped to create and aid the revitalization of many other bands. “Right after we started, everyone started to copy our sound,” Dee Dee Ramone said. “We were the pioneers at that time because we were distinct and we had something to say. People really hooked on to that.” The fundamental success of the Ramones has been that refuse to be put down, by the public or by the critics, neither of which they seem to be having many problems with. Joey Ramone feels that their rise has only just begun. “Right now we’re hotter than we’ve ever been, and then we should do even better after our new album comes out, but I’m not sure when that will be.” (The singer guessed the album could be out by this February.) Since their humble beginnings with second-hand guitars at the New York Bowery night club CBGB’s, the Ra mones set out to prove that they were Turner said in 1983 of Haley’s version of “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” “He gave a lot of spark to it. But nobobdy can sing it like me.” As a teen-ager in Kansas City, Turner once said, he would disguise himself with his father’s hat and long pants, draw on a mustache, and sneak into jazz clubs. He began making a name for him self in New York clubs in the late 19305, with the help of John Ham mond, organizer of the Carnegie Hall concert, Feather said. Turner devel oped a wide following among black audiences during a renaissance of the blues in the 1940 s and 19505. Ramone Dee Dee for real With every new album, in cluding their latest Too Tough To Die, the Ramones are on tour non-stop, more than eager to play any time, anywhere. The fans are what they enjoy, and that’s the reason that they are as relentless as they are, drawing appeal from every type of crowd with every type of taste. “We play to the liveliest and sickest crowds of any body,” Johnny Ramone said smiling, as if proud to be able to say that. For the Ramones, the road is their home, and they don’t seem to mind at all. Success for the Ramones has been hard in coming and they have worked hard for it. Relating themselves to other bands is something they don’t often do, namely because they don’t care. “Right now there are a lot of bands out there that claim to be doing something worthwhile, to be making a statement, but I don’t know if that’s all too true. I don’t like to rate other bands against the Ramones because that isn’t important,” Joey Ramone emphasized. “People are always say ing ‘what about the Clash, etc., ’ and I really don’t give a shit.” The band will continue to play however they want to, despite trends and opinion. Fans will continue to love them as was apparent in the group’s performance at Bucknell. For Joey Ramone, they’re going to continue to have a good time as long as they can. “We’re just going to keep having a blast, and struggle not to ever have to compromise our music, because that would suck.” Among the hundreds of recordings he made v during that period was a series of six sessions in 1941 with pianist Art Tatum. Turner, who moved to Los Angeles in the 19605, continued to perform at clubs and at blues festivals until his final hospitalization, and had a fol lowing on college campuses, said Mrs. Turner. “He sang ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ for me from his hospital bed a little more than a week ago,” slie said. “He sang it word for word.” Turner’s last recording was Patchit Patchit, an album with singer Jimmy Witherspoon released this year. Gondoliers' Buchanan and Warner demonstrated that they had great voices, as did Jane Brockman, Anne Molloy and David Travis. This scene was one of the most memorable of the night. Each scene included piano music that comple mented the performers’ voices. The accomplished accompianists included: Andrew Hutchings, Ker ry Ruff and Dorothy Stevens. Jane Brockman, the only undergraduate director of a scene, set up The Coronation of Poppaea. Although there were a few weak spots, the show as a whole was terrific; the fact that all the performers were amateurs made the show all the more enjoyable. The program was the culmination of a semester of opera workshops. The course, which i§ directed by Dr. Hugh Givens, focuses on all facets of performance, including stage movement, inter pretation of character, character development, directing and costume and set design. A public performance is the class’ final examination. Give ns works with the students and tries to find roles that fit the individuals’ experiences. After the roles are assigned, the students research their characters. This is the workshop’s first semester, and Give ns will be offering another one next semester.

Reverie gives novice an appreciation of jazz with danceable rhythms By ANN SKOMRA Collegian Arts Writer Everyone in Happy Valley knows what a gray, rainy day can do to your mood, especially if it’s only seven days until Thanksgiv ing. Well I was having one of those mindlessly depressing days when my editor called, asking me to review a jazz concert. Figuring that reporters don’t always get Pulitzer Prize-winning material, I played the martyr and accepted the assignment. Born and raised in a small coal mining town, I believed that jazz only had three styles: the South’s Dixieland, the late ‘6os jazz that was played while sitting around a bong, and the theme song from Moonlighting. However, I figured I did have enough of a musical education on which to rely in deal ing with the story. Besides, at this point, how could I be biased to wards my subject? As I walked in to the nearly filled ground floor of Schwab Audi torium, I wondered what I was doing there, but I relaxed as I heard a couple comment that they were attending because it was strongly “recommended” by their music appreciation class. I fig ured that my limited jazz educa tion wouldn’t be noticed. Taking my seat, I viewed the small, darkened stage skeptically. Drums, keyboard, tenor and alto saxophone were all crowded into the center of the stage. Off to the left was KORG, a remote control keyboard that looked like the de scendent of a guitar and an accordian. Where were the trum pets and red lights, the fat sweaty men playing their hearts out with a mute clutched in their hands? Amplifiers and electronic ups were everywhere. But as the 7 members of the ensemble took their places onstage during the opening song, I had a sneaky sus picion that the four man band, Reverie, was going to astound the unsuspecting audience, not to mention destroy my naive beliefs concerning jazz. To say the Philadelphia-based band was unpretentious is an un derstatement. Ranging in looks from a pudgy Mitch Miller clone to a tall Jeffrey Osborne, the ensem ble’s offbeat style wasn’t apparent until the bass guitarist and only spokesman for the group, Gerald Veasley, began to talk. Pointing out Mark Knox on keyboard, Jim Miller on drums and E. J. Yeller on saxophones, Veasley finished by introducing himself as Steven Ray Vaughn. This very affable and humorous man soon had the audi ence members under his control, The Daily Collegian Monday, Nov. 25, 1985 while the rest of the band had them tapping their toes. Heasley’s song “Hummingbird,” written in tribute to his uncle’s gospel group, was very light and carefree. Dur ing its performance there wasn’t a still arm or leg in the place. The band’s new album is Reve rie in Concert, and it was plugged throughout the show. Feigning sympathy towards the economic situation of college students, Veas ley encouraged the audience to spend their money “on something that will last, an album.” Fortunately, the smooth style of the band wasn’t just verbal. Each member of the group was a profes sional in his own right. Admittedly my experience with tenor and alto saxophones is limited to dating a couple of guys in my high school band, however, I was amazed by the strength of each song and the smoothness with which each tem po was changed. In regard to the fluidity of the music, one song, “Sunday Morning Sweat,” stands out in particular. Written in re sponse to a Sunday morning visit to a Baptist church, the song ini tially sounded like the “good ol’ jazz” that I was originally expect ing to hear slow and driving and yet relaxing. However, never a band to lull the audience into a false sense of security, Reverie soon had us energized by the beat after abruptly changing tempos with an inspirational drum and keyboard duet. Switching to a re sounding drum and saxophone duet, the tempo built until the audience answered with rounds of applause, but once again Reverie switched moods and finished the song with a warm slow-moving melody. By this time I was totally beside myself with enjoyment and worry. The mood- brightening music made me believe that I would not only make it to the end of the semester, but I would also pass my.math course. But in the mean time, how would I ever describe the enjoyment that this small un assuming group gave the audi ence? Troubles were forgotten for two hours, and the bonding of the listeners, through their over whelming appreciation of this band’s talents, gave me a sense of euphoria that I have yet to experi ence at a large, screaming, pop rock concert. On my next mindlessly depres sing day I think I will take Gerald Veasley’s advice and scrape up the money to buy Reverie in Con cert. The hours of contentment that the album will provide will far outlast the “beverages” toward which the money would have otherwise gone. . Second City shines in improvisational scenes By DIANE D. DIPIERO Collegian Arts Writer In this atmosphere of mental burn out, post-summer depression and pre final anxiety, a sense of humor is paramount for survival. If you’ve made futile attempts at self-induced laughter, you’ve often had to have someone else make you chuckle. There was no better time to get a dose of laughter than last Thursday in Eisenhower Auditorium. “You’re the best audience we’ve had . . .today,” a member of the Sec ond City Comedy Company told the audience in the Student Foundation for the Performing Arts-sponsored event. If all of the troupe’s audiences have been as receptive and apprecia tive as the one here, the members must be walking around with inflated egos. A standing ovation and cries for encores filled the auditorium after almost two hours of diverse comedy entertainment. ■ Second City hit the funny bone with nonsensical antics and thought-pro voking skits all in one sitting. The entertainers’ talents stretched be yond comedy singing, dancing and acting abilities were also displayed during their show. The comedy took many forms.

Second City craftily tossed political statements into their skits. Three men in a bar talked about modern day warfare and joked about the “covert” war in Nicaragua that was being shown on national TV. One guy brought up Vietnam. The other two, obviously veterans of the war there, steadily grew angrier. “I don’t want to talk about it,” the one kept declar ing.

Outsiders often look upon Second City as the epitome of comedic excellence. An actor has “made it,” certainly, if he is in this company. But at least one member sees it as a “stepping stone” for future employment. Will Clinger, son of U.S. Rep. William F. Clinger, R-Pa., would eventually like to do some kind of television sit-com, such as Cheers, because it requires “good character act ing.” And that is how he classifies the profession of being a Second City entertainer: an experience in overall acting, not just comedy. Clinger graduated from St. Lawrence College in upstate New York six years ago with a degree in English. He spent some time as a copywriter in Washington, D.C., but when he visited friends in Chicago, he became entranced with that city’s theatrical atmosphere.
