As if a person could really grab a hold of a speeding car by the door handle. That's an art story - the speeding car. And that's Catherine Rambeau, to name one - out there trying to grab a moving car by the door han- dle. The approach is all wrong; there are certain things you can't do with reason, even spiced with cuteness. You can't live in a postage stamp little world - however reasonable - disseminating pat litle reasons for everything, and call it arts criticism. You could just as easily put out the fire of Romeo and Juliet's love with a squirt gun. The ap- proach is all wrong. People really aren't stupid. They know it's the way an arts show makes them feel that matters - not whatever paltry little reasons critics can dredge up from the murkiness of their thoughts to explain whatever leaked into the pinhole of their mind's eyes. So why don't critics write about how they feel in- stead of what they so artificially think? Now you know how I feel and what I'm trying to do. 4 1 Cover story Scotland's Simple Minds are a phenomenon in pop music, a group of perfectionists whose thoughtful, dynamic rock has made them super- stars in Europe. Leader Jim Kerr and company play Hill Auditorium Mon- day night as part of a North American tour in support of their new album, Once Upon A Time. Read the saga of Simple Minds. See page 3. Movies Action adventure afficionado Richard Campbell explains how Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins missed a great opportunity to embody the quirky "Destroyer" series anti-pulp novels on which it is based, but he decides The Adventure Begins is fun anyway. See page 4. Catch of the day Keats said in a letter to Shelley that a poet must "load every rift with ore." Weekend columnist Mike Fisch has discovered that computer poets in town are churning out some real metallic clankers. See page 5. Entertainments This regular feature of Weekend magazine proves there's more to Ann Arbor nightlife than walking around smashing bottles. And let's not forget afternoon and morning life. Enter- tainments is your guide to campus cinema, first-run movies, concerts of all kinds, theatre, and dance. And for that day when nothing quite looks good, checkout the listings under "Furthermore." See page 6. Comedy Hot on the heels of the financially successful First Annual Ann Arbor Comedy Jam comes more knee- slappin' good fun in the form of one of America's most highly reputed bastions of lampoon, The Second City Touring Company. They don't have famous alums for nothing. See page 10. Food for thought Hunger abatement, like many primal concerns, is a priority oc- cupation of college life. While food as sophisticated entertainment is often subverted by budgetary con- siderations, it is essential to keep abreast of the diversity of eats - to be prepared for any sudden or calculated mood shift - and fill the tank accor- dingly.
