Well, in any case, he's back. Barrance Whitfield, that is, along with his band the Savages. They've brought their frenetic, no-chords- barred R&B attack to the Blind Pig time and again, and tonight will be one of those agains, as the band takes the stage at 10 p.m. The Savages have become reknowned for their aggressive, Wilson Pickett or steroids live sound. Translated onto their albums, it's earned them critical praise for Ow Ow Ow and Dig Yourself, among others. Tickets are $7.50 and are available in advance at Ticketmaster outlets. 4 This band calls itself the Vicious Hippies. A self-contradiction? Yeah, but wasn't the rest of the '60s9. Atyway, they'll kick out the jams tonight at the U-Club in support of the 'Nobody for President' campaign.

BY JIM PONJ EWOZIK SO I answered the phone, reaching for the note pad, assuming that, as usual, it wasn't for me, when to and behold, a voice says - "Hi, Jim, this is Blzgh Slzhangblh from PIRGIM. I've got a card here that says you're interested in help- ing with our voter registration drive..." Omigod. I'm trapped. I responded courteously, stalling and cursing the day I filled out that card in my Core I class, half from a sense of Grade-A liberal guilt, and half from a sense of not wanting to look like a dork in front of a classroom of other guilty liberals filling out the same form. No escape. I agreed to the set-up - one hour of standing like a geek in the middle of the Fishbowl, ha- ranguing a stream of Friday afternoon lecture-numb lamebrains to be Good Citizens and vote, vote, vote. Yes, I was that funny-looking guy who accosted you while you were in a stupor calculating the number of minutes to happy hour. Many of you didn't register. Some did, and won't vote. Why? Well, why should you? Let's face it, all Decision '88 boils down to is whether your sleeping pill will have a "D" or a "B" engraved on top. Well, Wavy Gravy has an alternative. This Novem- ber whateveritis (you can figure the date out for your- self by taking the third Monday after the first Wednes- day, dividing the date by three and then throwing a dart at the calendar), Gravy, a comedian, clown (rubber nose and all), and political iconoclast, wants you to vote for nobody. "Nobody cares about the environment," he told me. "Nobody knows what to do about the deficit. Nobody knows what to do with nuclear waste." Accompanying Gravy on his campaign stops is a band called the Vicious Hippies. Gravy himself was an emcee at Woodstock. He was one of the original founders of the Hog Farm commune in New Mexico and digs the Grateful Dead. Let's not mince words.- Wavy Gravy's a hippie. As a rule, I hate hippies. But' as a rule, I hate politicians. So I'll give him the benefit', of a doubt. To wax groovy, what if they gave an elec- tion and nobody came? Gravy has taken his Nobody for President campaign= on the road since 1976 (in culture-specific terms, since, Mo Udall last ran and Welcome Back Kotter was on: the air). But he made earlier forays into politics, cam- paigning for a rock and a roll ("It was great, you could eat the vice president") in '72 and a pig, with true Haight-Ashbury sardonicism, in '68., But his latest candidate, represented by a pair of plastic chattering teeth, has the most impressive cre- dentials, which he is quick to rattle off. "Nobody goes back before Aristotle," he said. "Nobody was president before George Washington ... George Bush himself said, 'Nobody has all the. answers...' Nobody won the debates..." You get the point. But behind what might seem an exercise in dead horse flogging is a serious message htmr epevt o ooyta nbd ne- ery presidential election. "We've never considered non-voting an option,.. we're very anti-apathetic," Gravy said. But, he theo- rizes, if None of the Above were on the ballot (a move, a la Brewster's Millions, which Gravy and co. actually, tried once in California), the politicos might reconsider- the nobodies that they consistently run every four. years. So turn the TV dial to CNN's Election Watch and throw a brick through the screen. Hoist up your blank campaign signs and heed Wavy Gravy's clarion call:, "Fuck Bartles and Jaymes- nobody needs your support." WAVY GRAVY and the Vicious Hippies, sponsored by Soundstage and UAC, will enlighten the masses at the U-Club tonight at 10 p.m. Cover is $4.
