U U U V U p V T M The Michigan Daily- Weekend, etc. Magazine 10B - The Michigan Daily - Weekend, etc. Magazine - Thursday, October 11, 2001 Lennon's artwork displayed at Borders Grooving with the Kerrytown Chimes 'Survivor' makes its roanng return to CB By Jeff Dickerson Daily TV/New Media Editor After a five-month hiatus, the mother of all reality shows returns By Matt Herrman For the Daily Simple. This is how many attendees described the artwork of John Lennon at the downtown Ann Arbor Borders last weekend. Most agreed that Lennon's art, which consists primarily of pen and pencil line drawings, is sim- ple. But subtlety is sometimes the best way to convey a strong feeling. "I find the art simple, but there is a lot of meaning in it if it is taken that way" said Bob Pascoe, a Stockbridge resident. Many did find special meaning in Lennon's art, just as millions have heard the powerful messages portrayed in his music. This unique opportunity to view John Lennon's art was in honor of Lennon's 61st birthday. The exhibit featured over 50 of Lennon's drawings along with 20 song manuscripts accompanied by his music playing in the background. On the low end, you could purchase a limited edition song manuscript of"I'm Losing You" from his Double Fantasy album for $125, or for $150 you could get "Yer Blues" off of The Beatles. The rest of the manuscripts ranged in price up to $6000 for a framed copy of "In My Life." Interestingly six out of the ten Beatles years song manuscripts were from songs off the The Beatles (or the White Album), which was the album when Yoko began to sit in during the recording sessions with the rest of the Beatles. This created some tension within The Beatles. In the The Beatles Anthology book, Beatle guitarist, George Harrison, says, "At first it was a novelty, but after a while it became apparent that she was always going to be there and it was very uncomfort- able." Since the exhibit was open to the public, most came to simply see and experience Lennon's artwork rather than to buy. Bill Jordan, an Ann Arbor resident, came because, "I've been a huge fan of Lennon my entire life and he was a powerful figure when I was By Sommy Ko For the Daily In the outskirts beyond college life on central campus is the unique alcove called Kerrytown. This niche of choice that includes a farmer's produce, restau- rants and shops has recently added a new public treat that resonates Kerrytown's cultural message. Kerrytown Chimes, in existence for about a year, was created after the owner, Joe O'Neal of Kerrytown Shops, was inspired by similar, more advanced chimes that were open to the public in a church in Ireland. The Kerrytown Chimes are a set of bells in Kerrytown's clock tower that is played by a wooden handle keyboard. The wooden handles are connected to the bells by clappers that are linked to mechanical steel ropes. Each time someone pushes down one of the handles, the clapper rings the corre- sponding bell. There are 17 handles cor- responding to 17 bells and each rings a I am the artistic walrus. growing up." Pascoe was there because, "John has always been known for his music, and I was curious to see what his art is all about." Jordan characterized Lennon's art as "very personal, very humorous, showing that he was a com- plicated man, and he treasured his rela- tionship with Yoko." The Bag One porfolio works were the priciest at the exhibit and consisted of drawings of their wedding, honeymoon, bed-in and erotic drawings of Yoko. All of the drawings contain some autobio- graphical element, with the other draw- ings ranging in subject from "Fame," dealing with the media spectacle of his life, to "Baby Boy," reflecting his love for his son. Lennon's artwork is without question simple, all of the drawings were black and white with the exception of the col- orful Real Love drawings of cartoon animals that he made for his son Sean. WCSX Disc Jockey, Pam Rossi said, "It's the same with his music, he got the point across with simple verses, simple lyrics, and with a strong message." different note. Like a mini-grand piano, there are about two octaves on the key- board. Shoppers and visitors of all ages stop to watch whomever is playing on the chimes. "When you're concentrating on it, it lifts you up out of your thinking and you just become so clear," says Jane Kaufer, a senior citizen who played "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" for the first time on the chimes. Heather O'Neal has been opening up the chimes and supervising the public on their chime playing experience for about six months now. She said that every time someone plays the chimes, they get a sticker that says "I played the bells at Kerrytown." O'Neal said that she has gone through over 500 of the stickers, indicating a steady stream of people to the chimes. There are hundreds of songs to choose from and people don't need a working knowledge of reading music. This is because the music is numbered from 1-17 to correspond to the handles that are also simply numbered 1-17. Up to three notes can be played at one time and major and minor notes are distin- guishable as well. Antonia Silverio, a 7-year-old girl, brought in her own songs that she wrote to play on the chimes. Her favorite piece is the "Bach Minuet" that she played as an audience of five and others passing applauded her performance with a smile. With the guide of O'Neal's humming, Antonia also went on to play the cowboy song, "Home on the Range" and many other favorites. O'Neal also commented that the' chimes are an instrument that are actual- ly studied by musicians. There is a World. Carillon Federation that includes over 200 countries that participate in playing these instruments. Even here in Ann Arbor, we have Associate Professor Margo Halsted who plays the bells at the Burton Memorial Tower on Central Campus and the Lurie Tower on North Campus. The chimes are also a tradition at Cornell University played by chime masters every year.

Water in the region is so polluted it must be boiled before consump- tion. The creators seem to strive for the ultimate "reality" in reality television. Early word is one participator was hospitalized halfway through filming "Survivor: Africa" for unknown reasons. The two tribes this time around are Boran (adorning yellow) and Samburu (adorning red), each con- sisting of eight members. Both groups feature an array of interest- ing personalities, from postal work- ers to professional soccer players. Athleticism is emphasized even more, as the latest group of sur- vivors look to be more fit than the cast of "Survivor 2." Executive producer Mark Burnett has once again created deceiving previews and leaked very little. information to the press and public. This makes the job of predicting the outcome of an episode rather difficult but, with a little research and analysis it most certainly can be done. In tonight's episode, Samburu will take the first challenge, forc- ing Boran to drop a member. The only person likely to create instantaneous problems in the Boran tribe is Diane, the multiple divorcee postal worker. Survey says .. Diane and her Debb-esque qual- ities are the first to go. CBS has again pitted "Survivor" against the NBC behemoth "Friends" in the eight o'clock hour on Thursday.
