bar scene for a Friday night concert
at the Michigan Theatre. Madcat
Ruth's current band is probably the
best he has had since the days of Sky
King. One of the greatest harmonica
virtuosos of all time, Madcat, using
an electronic pick-up and a
sophisticated amplification system,
bases his unique style on the sounds
of blues and rock electric guitarists.
The band's repertoire includes a
Chicago-style blues number,
"Walkin'," "500 Miles from Home,"
and "Sweet Home Chicago." Call
668-8480 for more information.

The Madcat/Bruback desert the
B-52's-'Mesopotamia'
(Warner Brothers)
Welcome to the fourth and biggest
adventure yet with your favorite gang
of wacky Gulf Coast coeds. You won't
believe what they're up to this time;
they've tagged along on a Third World
field trip with the school
egghead-Professor Byrne.
Mr. Byrne obviously has an-
thropological designs on this mission,
but the kids know the real score-fun
always comes before homework, and to
them foreign shores are just another
excuse for a beach party.
Kate starts right in with a paean to
the exotic intrigue of foreign romance,
followed by Cindy, who waxes poetic on
the more metaphysical allure of the
exotic life.
Once they finally get there, Cindy
shows her true colors in a sensually
frenzied tribute to the terrain, but Fred,
as always, is oblivious to the seductive
undercurrent of her discourse.
The next dramatic turning point finds
Kate and Cindy whipping up some girl-
talk fun in the kitchen in preparation for
the big, party that night. Later at the
beach, Fred throws a party-pooping
pout, but Kate and Cindy arrive just in
time to turn things around for the big
finish.
Don't miss it. Playing in your area
soon.
