Liner Notes
Floyd's "Wall" to be staged
by Robb Frederick
Ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters will
perform the band's epic musical The Wall at another famous
wall in Berlin. The show, which has previously been staged
in only four cities, will include re-creations of original props
and several to-be-announced guest musicians. Waters left
the band three years ago.
• Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora steps out on his
own for the sondtrack to The Adventures of Ford Fairlane,
which stars comic Andrew Dice Clay. Sambora's
contribution to the soundtrack will be a cover of Jimi
Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary."
• The Supreme Court left intact a ban on school dances
in a small Missouri town last week where officials
complained that "dancing is sinful, even satanic.” (Dam, no
Lambada.) The case was raised after residents claimed the
ban was religiously motivated, thus violating the
consitiutional requirement of separation of church and state.
• A recent "World in Action" UK television
documentary offered some heavy accusations against the
Rainforest Foundation, which was founded in part by
Sting. The documentary claimed that 15 Brazilian Indians
had died from malaria after the Foundation delayed resettling
them. The ex-Police frontman denied the claims, but he
admitted that one tribe member had died.
• Now here's an interesting entertainment alternative:
Go to a crowded playground and yell "Cowabunga." Never
before have I seen so many children compete to prove their
superiority in the field of rcptillian-inspircd martial arts.
• Rappers Kid 'N Play, fresh from their major roles
in the Film House Party, will star in a Saturday morning
series to debut this fall. The half-hour show, which
alternates segments of animation and live action, will contain
original music by the pair.
• Peter Gabriel has again teamed up with producer
Daniel Lanois, who helped with the creation of Gabriel's
successful albums*?.
• England's Sunday Times has reported that Paul
McCartney is Britain's wealthiest rock star, with a net
worth of over 350 million pounds.
• Prince will release a double album soundtrack to his
upcoming film Graffiti Bridge. The disc will include nine
new songs, including "Shockadelicide," "The question of
U," and "Joy in Repitition." Three singles are slated for
release before the film reaches screens across the nation.
• Rick Grech, the former bassist and violin player for
the Family and Blind Faith died of kidney and liver failure
on March 17. Grech's career peaked during his time with
Blind Faith, which teamed him with Eric Clapton, Steve
Winwood, and Ginger Baker.
• Janet Jackson received a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame on April 20. Mayor Tom Bradley was
expected to proclaim the week "Janet Jackson Week in Los
Angeles." Do L.A. city schools allow time off to honor
great citizens of this caliber?
• The Grateful Dead have donated the song "We Can
Run" to the National Audubon Society for use in a music
video campaign to enhance the environmental group's
image. The clip should surface on MTV and other video
programs within the next few weeks.
• Tompson Twins Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie
recently returned from India with native recordings they
hope to mold into "a strange Asian-Anglo album."
• Let's hear it for responsible journalism. The Globe,
that trashy tabliod of choice, recently announced that
Michael Jackson will replace John Lennon for a
Beatles reunion tour! The Globe actually quotes Jackson as
saying "no one can ever replace John Lennon, but I'm as
close to it as anyone will ever come." Just who the hell are
these "industry insiders" anyway?
• Not to be outdone, the Star claimed that Debbie
Gibson has expressed her desire to bare it all for Playboy
magazine. Not a pleasant thought, but still better than
Michael Jackson trying to be Lennon.
