Panther
BY BRIAN BERGER
"Well the night's still young/ it's 12 o'clock/
me and my baby gonna rock rock rock/ come on
little baby/ come on over/ come on little baby/
let's start rockin' the night" -Tav Falco's idea
of a good time.
Can you dig it?
The legendary Tav Falco's Panther Burns
bring their timeless brand of enthusiastic, lustful
rockabilly to Ann Arbor's own Blind Pig to-
night. It will be without a doubt the best show
in town and dancing, rocking, and sweating
enthusiasts should plan to attend.
Why most people couldn't care less about Tav
Falco's Panther Burns is no mystery. Most
people are stupid. They don't live for the tran-
scendent power of dirty, grungy rock and roll.
audi- They'd rather hear something clever, well crafted,
and thoughtful. The flattening power of REAL
BurnsI
music is just a little too much for your typical
pop fan, but not me. I need that primal blast and
am very grateful that I can depend on Tav Falco
to give it to me.
. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Tav Falco
and his band Panther Burns are the best fifties-
rockabilly-hepcats around. They are no embar-
rassment to the Memphis musical reputation and
that's no small feat when you've got to uphold
the quality standards previously set by Sun Stu-
dio, Stax/Volt Records, Al Green, and Big Star.
Tav's records have been consistently excellent
and their live show would have played just as
well at the juke joints and honky-tonks of the
fifties as it does in the yuppie clubs of today.
It's reasonable to wonder why, if this Tav
Falco character is so good, you haven't heard of
him. Well, American music just isn't that pop-
ular in America. For years, record collectors have
fire
up
had to rely on the Dutch, French, Germans, and
Japanese to supply us with recordings by classic
blues, soul, and rockabilly artists. Despite the
recent re-issue craze (driven by a desire for big
profits, not love of art) the situation has changed
very little. Tav Falco is on the French label New
Rose and I recommend you grab any Panther
Burns vinyl you come across. The band's best
records are Behind the Magnolia Curtain (all
classic yet obscure covers) and The World We
Knew (scorching originals).
Anyone who's ever felt and grooved on the
power of classic Memphis rock'n'roll must see
Tav Falco live. Get some hep threads, slick back
your hair, and go-cat-go.
TAV FALCO'S PANTHER BURNS ignite
tonight at the Blind Pig. Showtime is 10 PM,
admission is $5.
Tav Falco's Panther'Burns will lead tonight's Blind Pig
ence back Ito the 50's with their rip-roarin' rockabilly.

always been the same: to change the wvorld1 with

That goal results iIi a company that is every
bit as advanced1 as its products. In marl ways, Apple
is well on its way to becoming the first 21st century

-nued from Page 7
Sonia Braga (The Milagro
Beanfield War) is appropriately cast
as Madonna, the Paradorian sex sym-
bol who wants to be the dictator's
mistress no matter who plays op-
posite her. The part, however, calls
more for modeling evening gowns
and staring off into space than it
does for delivering lines.
Mazursky is once again able to
effectively blend comedy with a
touch of cynicism, and his screen-
play (cowritten with Leon Capetnos)
takes some subtle jabs at both the
political and acting professions. Af-
ter Roberto demands that Jack play
the part or die, Noah quips that the
chief of police "would make a very
good director." And when Jack is
approached by the all-too-curious
press, he borrows a move from an-
other actor/politico by rushing to his
helicopter and indicating he is unable
to hear their questions. Several
scenes, however, are a bit too ser-
ious, and for a brief period, the film
becomes more of an obvious social
statement than a comedy.
Still, the most entertaining aspect
of the film is its humorous nod to of
the film industry. The script in-
corporates a barrage of pop culture
references and some great cameo
appearances. Where else can we see
Sammy Davis Jr., Dick Cavett, Ed
Asner, and Charo all in one film?
Not to mention the long-awaited re-
turn of Polly Holliday, (remember
Flo on Alice?) who is superb in her
three-line part as a self proclaimed
"horny old broad."
If you're a Richard Dreyfuss fan,
Moon Over Parador is absolutely
worth seeing. But even if you aren't,
the film is well written and en-
joyable, if perhaps a bit forgettable.
Expect some good laughs and a fun
night out, but like all moons, the
effect might fade by morning.
MOON OVER PARADOR is at
the State Theatre.
No acting experience or preparation necessary to audition.
