Hthe Depot House

By SHERRI FUNN
and, SUZY FUNN
We have headaches. It all
started about 8:00 last night
when we left home to see the
Figpuckers at the Depot House,
down at 416 South Ashley.
As we hopped into Sherri's
new sports roadster we had a
'premonition that it was gonna
be a freaky night. We talked
about the review we were
gonna write.
SUZY: You talk to them, and
I'll just nod my head.
SHERRI: Oh, no you don't.
SUZY: Let go get an ice
cream instead.
SHERRI: Groovy.
After we had finished our
tasty single-dip cones and
brushed off a couple of high
school types who were after our
bodies, we headed back to the
Depot.
SUZY: There it is, it's a
old railroad station.
SHERRI: Of course it is, you
dumb broad. -
We were a little wary of the
place as we walked to the door'
manly because we couldn 't
find .the door. But that diffi-
culty was soon overcome and
when we walkedinwe met
Jack, who runs the place.
JACK: Hey, man, yeah.
SHERRI: Yeah, well, we're'
from the paper and we're gonna
review the Pickfugers and
here's the paper that, says it.
,JACK: (feeling paper) Yeah,
well, I'm' hip. Just go in and,
well, have a good time, you
know?
SHERRI: Yeah.
JACK: You're hip to the
s ound we have tonight, uh
right? I mean, it's a jazz group
and on weekends we have acid
rock and we move the tables
back so you can dance and a
psychedelic light show, you
know?
SHERRI: Yeah,
SUZY: (slowly moving away)
Yeah.
Well, we soon made our way
to a table up in front and
looked around us. Lots of little
tables and funny lights and all
six people were grooving to the
sounds of WKNR on the sound
system. People without hair-
cuts were walking around on
the stage hitting drums and
~tuff.-
SHERRI: Wanta leave?
SUZY: Naah.
- SHERRI: I can't get into tlis.
After about an hour of read-
ing the groovy psychedelic post-
ers (like "Iet the Earth bring
forth grass." Ho He. Get it?)
The band moved in for their

first set. But instead they put
on a record and walked away.
Then they did play.
SHERRI: Hey, Suzy, can you
hear me? Do you know any-
thing about jazz?
SUZY: I can't hear you./
The cat on the little saxo-
phone was blowing pretty good.
And another guy just stood
there. And we couldn't hear
anything.
Just then' Sherri decided she
,hould make a phone call. But
w'ho should she ruin into but
Jack.
JACK: We havent mage any
money but it'sa non-profitor-
ganization. We just want
enough bread for the lights and
the rent and a place you can
come with your chickie or your
-wife !and leave with! a smile,
,We just Want you to be able to
leave with a smile.
SHERRI; Yeah,
JACK: I mean, I can get
where I'm going in a Volkswa-
god just as good as a Cadillac,
right? And you don't have to
work in a factory for forty
years to be happy.
SHERRI: Yeah.
JACK: We just want you to
leave with a smile, that's all
Sherri walkedabback to the
table thinking about how some<
people really know their oats.
Too '>ad, she said to herself.
By this time the band was
into the mid le of its first num-
ber and the cat on sax wa
really, really grooving with it.
But after awhile it became
evident that the igpuckers are
a lot of noise, mostly white
noise, that is less than stim-
ulating,
SUZY. I got a headache.
SHERRI: Me too. Let's go.
As , we picked our way
through the 17 or so patrons
(at a buck each), we noticed
our friend Bill, a regular jazz
p ficiando, entering with his
wife.
SHERRI: Hey Bill, what d'ya
think of these guys?
BILL: They're a lot of noise,
man, a lot of noise. ike they're
not playing anything,
SHERRI: You mean a mel-
ody?
BILL: Naah. You don't have
to play a melody or anything,
but .it's got to make you think
of something, you know? Lie

and he said see ya. a
We walked out to Sherri's
'sports coupe at an even pace.
SUZY: Hey, I got a head-
ache.
SHERRI: Ya know, I do too.
Thirty seconds of silence.
SUZY: And we aren't smiling.
