ofbtr INTERVIEW Continued from Page 28 ; i Fifth Annual Reader Poll z 0 z z wU YU wU THIS IS THE LAST WEEKEND MAGAZINE of the acadenic year. It's also where we present the results of our annual reader survey, along with a number of other year-end, features: a rundown of some humorous Daily gaffes, the year's best graffiti and staff photos, and a sports roundup. The following article detailing the results of the poll was co- written by Weekend Editor Bill Marsh, Weekend Assistant Editor Rebecca Cox, and Daily staff writer Ted Klein. BestFood BEST BURGER: Bimpy's For the fifth consecutive year, Blimpy's has run away with the "special orders don't upset us" category - so sit up, Burger King, and prepare to fight for the right to build a burger. Crazy Jim is on the move. BEST PizzA: Pizzeria Uno's You can eat it there, or get it delivered, or buy it from a well-stocked fridge. Hot or cold Uno's has got the best, and probably only, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza in town. It comes in vegetarian flavors too! BEST POPCORN: Tice's Popcorn has exploded onto the scene, and even though there were a few determined votes for Paul Newman's Microwave, the convenience and delicate flavor of Tice's popcorn has promoted classroom munchings and crunchings, and more messy floors than you ever thought possible. BEST HOT DOGS: Red Hot Lover's Far and away the winner of this category, the Red Hot with anything on top your heart desires is the Best dog around. The tofu dog isn't too bad either, but go for the chili cheesefries at least once. Some poor, misguided sap voted for A&W's hot dog - get on the clue bus, buddy. BEST BAGELS: Bagel Factory Those funny, chewy donuts can be found all over the place - even in New York. Gorge yourself on the Fragels at Bagel factory (they're a patented recipe), and maybe sometime try a garlic bagel with lox and cream cheese, say, right before a job interview. BEST GREEK FOOD: Parthenon After seeing their commercial on MTV several hundred The Nectarine Ballroom, our readers' favorite place to get down and dance. Z w Ja Z W LU Wi 3U A window on the Bagel Factory. times, we just had to see the place. Trying to pronounce the wide selection of specialty dishes can keep one occupied for days. We almost starved before We remembered to ask for "Opaa!" Their black olives are always fresh, and the Baklava is always sticky. BEST ITALIAN FOOD: Cottage Inn They may not have won the Best Pizza award, but they've cornered the market on the rest of the Italian food. Eggplant parmigiana lovers have to go there for it at least once, and don't forget to order the cold squid salad. Bring your parents along, too. BEST ORIENTAL FOOD: Middle Kingdom This cozy Main Street eatery won over students with its menu of authentic, fresh Oriental entrees. It's worth the walk. BEST MEXICAN FOOD: Chi-Chi's The selection of Mexican establishments in town is, obviously, a little scant - how else would a chain restaurant win? Chi-Chi's does offer good service, an extensive menu and good drinks. But "sour topping" instead of sour cream? C'mon. BEST SEAFOOD: The Real Seafood Co. For price, we would choose The Whaler at Burger King. For quality, it's The Real Seafood Co. every time. Gandy Dancer was a close second, but the nervous types all voted for the restaurant farthest away from those rumbling trains. BEST JUNK FOOD: Stop-N-Go All we can think about is the olive loaf, but there's lots of snack food in that place, and it's open all night too. There's probably too much junk food, judging from the size of some of the customers. Don't forget to measure yourself against the doorjamb on the way out. BEST BREAKFAST: Angelo's Another annual winner. It's just the Best (except on weekends, when the line starts at 6 a.m.). Angelo's is an excellent place to end a really late night out on the town with someone special. Try the blueberry waffles. Continued on Page 7 D: Do you think in that sense, that you have to understand jazz, it's more like classical muasic? H: That's what it is. You got to listen to it. I always said a jazz musician can play rock but a rock musician can't play jazz, not unless he's had some training. See, jazz you have to have an imagination, feeling, attitude. Rock, you don't need all that. A lot of guys go out and learn two chords, cut a hundred tracks and make a million dollars... But every - thing's been done before. Things like backbeats and double beats that guys are doing on the drums. That's all they call rock. Well, that stuff's been done. I was playing that shit when I was a kid! But they didn't call it that then. Now kids sound like they're pounding nails with baseball bats. No conception, no finesse. You can't call yourself and a drummer and just play rock. You think you're a drummer? (Laughs.) D: You've played with all the great bandleaders... H: That's right, all of them - Benny Goodman, Basie, Ellington, Woody Herman. D: Is there anyone who really stands out? H: For big bands, Duke and Basie. D: What were the traits they had? H: Well, because they had the feeling and they had people in the band capable of bringing out what they wrote... and they knew how to bring out the individual. Duke didn't make everyone copy each other. This was around me when I was a kid going to the Greyston Ballroom back in the '20s. D: Coming up in the '30s and '40s and being a musician on the road, you must have met up with a lot of racism. H: Oh shit did I meet it! There were plenty of places where the drinking fountains were white only. Have to go down in the back to a toilet in the field where a snake'd jump up and bite you on the butt and all that shit. D: Wasn't that hard to deal with? You were just trying to bring the music to people and you had to face that. How did you not become bitter? H: I just had to swallow it just like Jackie Robinson did in baseball. Same thing. It's a hard pill to take. I don't know many white people who could do what the colored people have done, pay the dues they've paid to get where they are today. I still see it everyday. It's just as prevelant now as it was then. It's just in a different form. One thing I like about the South is they come out and let you know what they think about you. In the North they hide behind the door. (Laughs.) But I went through shit, man. Down South it was a bitch. We had a fight one time... I was in Cab Calloway's band and the whole dance hall jumped on us. We had to go out the back, a couple of guys got hit with bottles. All for no reason... because Cab reached down to give an autograph to a couple of blond girls. In those days the south was real bad and you didn't have no one on your side. The sheriffs would be on the people's side. You'd go into the restaurant to get something to eat and be there 20 minutes, people coming and going, and ask them 'Hey, can I get some service?' then some guy would come out and say 'We can't serve no coloreds.' Hey, we didn't come in here to eat no people. We just want to get some food. And then they'd tell you you could take it out. Take it out? Shit! Or else they'd serve you and after you got through eating, they'd break the plate right in front of you. I mean, man, that is ridiculous. It's so stupid, man. (Laughs.) D: Maybe that's one reason that jazz and blues were predominantly black art forms. There were more feelings that had to be held back and were expressed through the music. H: Yeah, that's probably part of it. Most of the blues singers like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday were like that. Then later, what happened was the white music had died out, all that sweet smelling shit, then they wanted to take what you had and make all the money with it. They always. do that. They always take what you got. A lot of people don't realize these kind of things but I know the whole history of the whole damn thing, both sides. I've been around the world 12 times already. It's still here. It hasn't left. It's improved a lot but it's still around. I don't let that shit bother me. The hell with it... I just want to make people happy with my music. That's all any real musician wants to do. You want the band, this is what you get. (Laughs.) Don't give me problems about black and white and all that shit. I don't need LOGIE Continued from Page 28 stop making a newspaper to take exams, write reports, and catch up on Moby Dick. We don't have the time to compete with The New York Times. We print typo- graphical errors. Stories are occa- sionally poorly edited. The writing is sometimes poor. There are days we ourselves look at the paper and groan. But on the whole, I am proud, and Dailyites ought to be proud, as the Daily is a very fine student newspaper. Of course, in exchange for the sacrifices, Daily staffers receive recognition, experience, and above all, friendship. Daily staffers are powerfully 'linked by their dedication to a shaky medium. Newspapers today face greater chal lenges than ever before. In Detroit, two good newspapers are falling into one another. Around the country, excellent papers are dying. But Dailyites know that written communication is important. We share a love for the power of the real press, the printing press. From this common ground, and from our shared efforts in pressure situations, lifetime friendships are formed. No, we don't all get along. We bitch at each other.
