4 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 13, 1988 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.

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. For further info call Scott Weissman 769-0500 Hiil CLASSIFIED ADS! Call 764-0557 NEED TO SHARPEN YOUR READING AND STUDY SKILLS?
