it
victim, but Kelly McGillis is
less interesting as her at-
torney. The only problem I
had with The Accused was in
the actual recreation of the
rape toward the end of the
film. It's totally unnecessary
and serves only to tilitate (for
lack of a better word) the au-
dience."
LOOKING BACK on
restaurants of yesteryears .. .
One of the best ways to pull
yourself out of the summer
doldrums and pep up a flagg-
ing appetite was to get out to
Leo Adler's Harbor Bar,
where the menu was small
but good, the view unsurpass-
ed and the air conditioning
provided by the Detroit River.
Leo was a short, stocky man
with curly red hair, an affable
disposition and a lovely and
talented wife.
After buying the Harbor
Bar, he and wife Debbie set
about refurbishing and
redecorating the place in a
nautical theme.
The special appeal of the
Harbor Bar was in its loca-
tion . . . built on a dock which
surrounded a small marina
on the Detroit River at the
foot of Fairview.
Directly opposite was the
head of Belle Isle and during
racing season the huge
unlimited power boats made
their turns at this point.
On a hot summer night it
was one of the finest places in
the city to go for a cool drink
while the waves slapped at
the pilings and the dock
swayed gently when the big
ones cruised by.
The Harbor Bar consisted of
a large covered outdoor dock,
a cozy cocktail lounge and a
small, tastefully appointed
dining room on the second
deck.
The kitchen and dining
room were under the direc-
tion of Wyn and Harold Lan-
dis, and out of their tiny kit-
chen came wonders like the
Commodore Special, a superb
eight-ounce hamburger, and
cheeze blintzes.
They also served a dilly of
a tenderloin filet, chops and
some tasty pancakes, eggs
and assorted sandwiches .. .
but the cheese blintzes were
the speciality of the house .. .
topped with either sour cream
or strawberry jam.

The Last Shmaltz:
Black Shabbos On Tour
SUSAN GILMAN
Special to The Jewish News
I
n the 1970s, rock and
roller Ozzy Osbourne, of
the heavy-metal band
Black Sabbath, had to dispel
rumors he had bitten the
head off a bat during a con-
cert. Now his Jewish
counterpart — Ozzy
Bashevis Singer, of the rock
group Black Shabbos —
makes similar denials.
"It is not true that at our
last concert I bit the head off
a gefilte fish," he says in a
made-up, thick Yiddish ac-
cent. "I would never hurt
any animal in jell."
Black Shabbos, a rock
band of heavy-metal
"Chasidic rabbis" to whom
nothing is sacred, is com-
prised of Kevin Arthur,
Bryan Snyder and Brian
Strauss — three Jews with
Irish names who have dubb-
ed themselves Ozzy
Bashevis Singer, Blind
"Bubbah" Berkowitz and
Shlomo E. (the "E" is for
"Enh").
Dressed in ersatz payot, or
sidecurls, black hats and
spiked leather collars, they
ham it up at nightclubs and
colleges across America,
kibitzing and singing such
questionably kosher tunes
as "Reggae Rabbi" ("he eats
bagels with dread lox") and
"The Exodus Rap" ("One
day I Saw a burnin' bush
that set me thinking/Either
that's God or I should cut
down on my drinking").
The band is touring the
country on their "1 9 8 9
"Rock and roll has
saved our lives,"
confesses Arthur.
"If it weren't for
Black Shabbos,
we'd probably be
out on the streets
practicing law or
medicine."
