Page 12-The Michigan Daily- Friday, April 10, 1992 BOB Continued from page 9 some of Jim Henson's early work. The rest is Public Television history. After 23 years with Bert, Ernie and company, is McGrath tiring of having children and puppets as co- stars? No way. "It's great fun, the best of all worlds really. The kids are easy to work with because we don't ask them to be little child stars; we don't even use professional kids, usually. The muppets are wonderful, too. "We suffered a great loss, per- sonally and professionally, when Jim Henson died, but he left an enor- mous legacy by training a lot of pup- peteers - they're all brilliant, and have created real characters for the puppets. At no time do I ever feel like I'm talking to someone's hand stuffed in a ball of fur," McGrath explains. This feeling is obvious when Mc- Grath speaks, in all seriousness, of his working relationships with fa- vorites such as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. He says, "Big Bird and I have done some nice pieces together. We're going to be working together this summer at a children's festival in Virginia." In case anyone was wondering (and you know you were), McGrath does believe in Snufalufagus. "I di- dn' t for a long time, but five or six years ago the producers decided that Snuffy should be revealed to us. "There was a series of episodes leading up to it, and finally one day we did a big show with Phil Dona- hue, as himself, running around ask- ing us all if we believed (in Snuffy). So now everyone knows (that Snuffy is real)," he says. McGrath is not the only one re- turning to campus to sing with the Glee Club tomorrow night. The 1967 Men's Glee Club will also perform. The Spring Concert will include a wide range of music sung by the Men's Glee Club, the Friars, and their special guests. THE MEN'S GLEE CLUB SPRING CONCERT will be performed tomor- row night at 8 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. Tickets are $8 to $3 for students. Call 764-1448 for more in- formation. Bob McGrath will be at Ann Arbor's Little Professor Book Company on Saturday from 12-1 p.m. signing copies of his recent recording "Bob's Favorite Street Songs." KAMEN Continued from page 8 traditional male roles become less confining." Kamen acknowledges that there are no easy answers to questions of equality, but suggests that more dia- logue is the first step in bringing about change. "We need to go be- yond the surface and challenge peo- ple to think. The goal of my book is to spur dialogue in a generation I feel is very isolated. Consciousness raising is necessary to get people in- volved in the movement," she ex- plains. This "raising of consciousness" is just what Kamen is doing in her tour of the country to speak about her book. She talks about the need for more male feminists and recounts the stigmas she faced as a feminist in college. Kamen also speaks of issues that have nothing to do with the women's movement. "I don't want to be pigeonholed as a feminist writer; when I was a city reporter for a newspaper I wasn't pigeonholed as someone ob- sessed with sewers and pipelines. I want to be perceived as a writer with a wide range," she says. Regardless of her wishes, Kamen will probably remain in the category of 'feminist writer,' at least until the talk about her book dies down. Throughout and beyond that time, Feminist Fatale will continue to in- form people about the importance of the women's movement, and break down the stereotypes surrounding feminism. Feminist. Are you one? Don't an- swer "no" too quickly. PAULA KAMEN will read from and discuss her book, Feminist Fatale, Friday night at 7:30 at the Common Language Bookstore on South Fourth Avenue.

There are a lot of songs that are just accordion and voices, or just guitar and voices, or some combination of that. We found that a lot of times that really intensi- fies the show.

No one would compare the duo to normal pop band fare. Instead of following scenes, Flansburgh and Linnell seem to have created one of their own. Success for the Giants has nothing to do with comprehensive musical training or gearing albums towards a particular crowd. According to Flansburgh, success comes from taking risks and not be- ing above ridiculing yourself from time to time. "One of the things about the band is that we're not afraid to play an in- strument badly," he says. "You can just widen the scope of what you're doing a lot if you're not worried about the technical end of it com- pletely. On this next tour, I'm actu- ally playing a small drum kit. I'm not an accomplishesd drummer (laughs). I just started playing the drums a little while ago. But, it's really fun." Currently doing a brief stint in the U.S., before heading out for a European tour, Flansburgh de- scribes the experience of touring as a duo, and presenting their songs in such a format. "The show has gotten more duo oriented over time," he states. "We used to do like every song with a THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS will perform this Sunday at the Michigan Theater.
