page six Album Review By Gwen Bikis Columnist Bonnie Raitt- The Glow It really is amazing how well one can judge an album by its cover. This album cover, for example, there's really nothing wrong. It's not aesthetically unpleasing, neither late 60's psychedelic nor late 7O's Devo. But put it alongside Bonnie Riat's other albums and one Humor and Wisdom L'explication Supris du peu de resultats du traitement qu'il a prescrit, un medecin s'inquiete aupres de la maman de son petit malade: --Faites-vous bien sucer de la glace a votre fils, comme je vous I'ai indique, madame? —Mais, bien sur, docteur! --Et la suce-t-il facilement?

Guilfordian Raitt's 'The Glow' slippery, not slick ing realy wrong with the album. On one level, it would seem to be more of the same from Bonnie Raitt: a little blues slide, a few soulful ballads, and cover versions of songs by Jackson Browne, Tracey Nelson, Isaac Hayes and Robert Palmer. I don't think Bonnie Raitt's going for a new image -- the Cover could be a mere aberra tion, but there is something a little too smooth and slippery about the material here. Little pieces of songs weren't stuck to my ears when I finished listen ing. "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," on the first side, was written by Issac Hayes and opens with a nice blues piano riff which typically becomes submerged and secondary as the song winds one. Bonnie Raitt has always done a pretty good job with bluesy songs there's that small Km tit a JJ '*■ * ■ I 9m ■■■it Turner McGehee 'lo' a mediocre score Bo Derek: fantasy fulfillment By Douglas Hasty, Columnist "10" - The latest adult comedy out of Hollywood is Blake Edwards' production "10."

Look for posters around campus for maps and details. special hint of smokey wistful ness in her voice which is vital to true blues. But this song is as smooth as ever as cool blue ice, and true blues should be neither smooth, nor really cool. The cut's a strong one, or it is in the context of the album. The redeeming aspects of "Your Good Thing" becomes especially evident after listen ing to "I Thank You," another cover of Isaac Hayes, which opens side one. Of "I Thank You" there is absolutely no thing memorable. It just slides off like a soap bubble from a glass wall, as does "You're Gonna Get What's Comin'," the song by Robert Palmer. "Standin' by the Same Old Love" rocks, but with no great conviction. "Bye Bye Baby" suffers from the same malady. The title song is jazzy, and the vocals, at least on the smooth surface of things, are good, McGehee prints on exhibit The first Greensboro exhibit of works by printmaker Turner McGehee will be hosted by Guilford College from Sunday, Nov. 4, through Sunday, Nov. 18. A reception will be held from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. on opening day in Dana Lounge of Foun ders Hall, where the works will be displayed. The public is invited. The exhibit will include wood cuts, serigraphs, etchings and lithographs. Before coming to Greensboro in September of 1978 to begin work on his master's degree at UNC-G, McGehee studied at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., where he received his B.A. in 1975. about the efforts on one very horny, middle-aged male who fulfills his fantasy. The girl of the fantasy, played most seductively by Bo Derek, appears in the film quite un expectedly: at a traffic light. The seductive look she gave him would make any man melt away. Dudley Moore aptly plays this middle-aged male teenager; he is bumbling, clumsey in bed, and drunk most of the time. However, he does manage to chase Bo Derek from a wedding to a dentist's office to Mexico, where his fantasy becomes a vivid reality. This climatic scene makes me want to run out and buy a copy of Revel le's "Boler ro." Moore's lover is portrayed by Julie Andrews, whose appear ance on the screen is the first in severla years. She is no excep tional victim of Moore's male menopause; Andrews plays the distraught, hurt, and angry lover of this teenager. If you are looking for the J ulie Andrews of "The Sound of Music," forget it; "10" is not that type of film, nor is An drews' part. Blake Edwards set this film October 30, 1979 although I know that Raitt can be more convincing than that. The album is not entirely, irredeemably slick, though. "The Boy Can't Help It" and "I Could Have Been Your Best Old Friend," have Bonnie on slide guitar, which is good news on an album like this. It means some essential earthiness, some grit. "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate" by Jackson Browne, benefits greatly from that edge of sweetly wistful sadness in Raitt's voice. It's evident that Bonnie's life has been rough in spots, and has rubbed her a bit ragged in places. But this is not to say that she's either coarse or jaded and world-weary; it simply means that she's not quite the cover— girl-slick woman one might infer from the cover of this album, or from a few of the cuts therein. He then began studying printmaking and Chinese paint ing with Dr. I-Hsiung Ju in Lexington and was visiting ar tist-in-residence in 1977 at Dr. Ju's art institute, the Art Farm. The residency culminated in hsi first show there in Decem ber of 1977. Since then Mc- Gehee has had one-man shows at the Rockbridge-Botetourt County Library in Virginia, the Alabama Arts Council and at Washington and Lee. McGehee also has exhibited jointly with Dr. Ju at Washing ton and Lee and with Greens boro artist Mike Van Hout at the Art Farm gallery. He has worked with Roy Nydorf of the Guilford College art depart ment. among the screen stars and "beautiful people" of an afflu ent Hollywood neighborhood. All of the characters had either 450's or Rolls; both Moore and Andrews are English. Americans must not be chic this year. All in all, the sets of both Hollywood and the resort in Mexico are beautiful. "10" contains no outstanding message. It will not be one of the best remembered Holly wood pictures or a best seller. In fact, the only actor with enough punch to even be consi dered for an Oscar is Dudley Moore; he still falls short of the Oscar, though. It is, however, a fun picture that is well worth the three bucks it costs. Coming Soon "The Empire Strikes Back" (Star Wards II) is now scheduled for release in May, 1980. "The Life of Brian," the Monty Python pic ture about a guy born the same day and just down the block from Jesus Christ (and is con stantly mistaken for him; is worth checking out, unless you live in Charlotte. Don't forget to cram for the Trekkie Test, all you Star Trek kies. It will be coming out in the Cuilfordian soon!
