v S 0 Wl d bunh ' , - By Ben Ticho Bonnie Hayes Joe's Star Lounge 10 p.m. Tuesday, October 19 Tickets: $3.50 W OMEN HOLD an often precarious position in rock music; as elsewhere, they are asked to fill certain roles deemed acceptable to society. Popular success depends to a large extent on sexual allure or image. From th efluttering eyelids of Olivia Newton-John to the reverse-role macho posing of Joan Jett, female musicians are marketed as a special commodity, perhaps limited in expression, but in perfect agreement with the varied fan- tasies of the buying public. Exceptions to such moaning generalization are, of course, numerous, and one of them, Bonnie Hayes, brings her band and a different approach to Joe's Star Lounge this Tuesday night following local rockers Ragnar Kvaran. Hailing from California, home of the few new things going on in American pop, Hayes must walk a thin line bet- ween popularity and integrity, between the complacency of Stevie Nicks and the self parody of the Go-go's. The rather feminist label placed on Bonnie Hayes and the Wild Combo might have destroyed the popular potential of many groups-the revolt againstI traditional rock stereotypes hasn't brought mass national appeal yet-if Hayes hadn't successfully infused such listenable and refreshing optimism to her socially conscious pop(this in con- trast to another California import, American punk). Good Clean Fun, Hayes' February '82 debut album on Slash, begs comparison to the recent pop of the Go-go's and Blondie, and emerges quite favorably, in terms of intelligent lyrics and dan- ceability. Shelley's Boyfriend" has an upbeat sound and catchy phrases Girls will be girls and boys will be boyfriends) that belie its more earnest entreaty to Hayes' younger sister not to sacrifice mind and matter to her domineering, airheaded companion. Other tracks like "Coverage," "Dum Fun," and "Girls Like Me," the opening tribute to a modern female attitude, make the LP enduringly and infectiously true to its cleverly chosen title. In a telephone interview from the East Coast, where she began her current tour last week, Hayes described some of her motives in the writing of "Girls Like Me:" "The most obvious thing it was about was feeling . .. embarrased about aggressiveness, not even sexually, but in careers and the way you behave ... A lot is just about controlling your own life." Hayes has taken great strides toward cont.rolling her own life, and her music, although it wasn't easy getting initial attention from generally unresponsive record companies. "I was, I still am, incredibly disappointed, in the music industry,"she said.

The emphasis here is not on health food, or bare minimal survival, but on enjoying home-style cooking that leaves the customer thinking, "I really did get my money's worth."

A nice variety of salads, ranging in price from a house salad for $1.25 to a superfruit salad, at $4.65 are also listed. Salads are not the only thing on the menu by any means. In fact, the menu entrees contain both Oriental and Bonnie Hayes: Good clean fun time-I was writing what I felt was really good music, and I was like get- ting no support for it at all . . . It's become such a fashion thing-if you do anything that doesn't really comply to a pretty strict set of rules if you haven't had any previous success, it's very dif- ficult to put anything out." The group is planning another album to be recorded early next year, in which, Hayes claims, "the rock 'n roll is going to come out a lot stronger; i'm a little disappointed in pop. I mean, I'm really good at it, but i'm also the songwriter, so . . . I don't think we're going to turn into a synthesizer band (a la Psychadelic Furs) at all. I hope not." The aversion to synthetic music aside, Hayes nonetheless displays am- ple talent for the keyboards, having played as a professional musician for years before joining a San Francisco group called the punts in 1929 which later evolved into the Wild Combo. Classically trained as a pianist, Hayes cites such influences as Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Junior Walker, and other black artists as part of her musical roots, adding a personal fondness for jazz. Such a diverse background lends well toward experimentation, and Tuesday night's audience should be prepared for just about anything. The group lays emphasis on R 'n R and dance music, with a soft spot for improvisation. The combination of Hayes' dance- oriented pop with Ragnar Kavaran's more driving earnestness promises an evening of variety if nothing else. Joe's first excursion into creative out-of-town acts bodes well for a town that could use a little shakin' up. - THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAYTO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 USED EQUIPMENT SPECIAL ALL GUARANTEED AND RECONDITIONED SAVE up to 60% (OFF Manufacturers Suggested List Price) " Fisher Cassette Deck CR 120 * Teac 124 Cassette Deck I Phillips Turntable AF887 * Teac a3300sx, 10" reel to reel " Toshiba receiver sa3500 Recorder with remote " Sharp cassette deck rtl 157. - Onkyo t9 am/fm tuner " Marantz speaker system ' Onkyo o7 140 watt rms amplifier 3 way 12" woofer + Infinity quantum 5 speakers sansui r70 receiver , Hitachi turntable ht-205 " Technic 5 band equalizer sa8010 " Wad Receiver Model 7020 AND ANYMO Genesis 11 speakers AND MANY MOREL HI F1 STUDIO 215 S.
