She’s ^first lady of rock’
SGA elections
by Becky Kimbrell
Whether or not she was
politicking for Jerry Brown,
Linda Ronstadt proved she is
still the “first lady of rock”
in her recent concert appear
ance at Reynolds Cohseum in
Raleigh. Viewed as a sex
symbol, a singer of romantic
heart-break tunes, and rock
oldies, Ronstadt sings with
more freedom and she has
fun doing it. Rarely does she
write songs herself; she is
mainly interested in providing
strong lyrics and her concert
was just that.
With tight black pants that
blended with the red stage,
and her new short haircut,
Ronstadt opened her concert
with “Cost of Love,” a song
fron her latest album, “Mad
Love.” A slow song followed
and the crowd went into a
frenzy when she belted out
“It’s So Easy.” “I Can’t
Help Myself if I’m Still In
Love With You,” a country
hit from her new album,
provided a nice break from
the fast pace. “Just One
Look” was one of the
favorites of the fans. Neil
Young’s “Look Out For My
Love,” another new hit was
followed by the soft song,
“Blue Bayou.” “Justine”
and “Rise” were also per
formed.
According to Ronstadt, the
best part of the performance
was when she sang “Hateless
Love.” It is her favorite. “I
Can’t Let Go ” and “Hurt
So Bad ” are two songs of
romantic desperation of the
60’s from “Mad 7,ove.”
During “Hurt So Bad,”
Danny Kortchmar guitar
player, excited the crowd with
his siren-like guitar solo.

Wordsworth
will play the lion’
Richard Wordsworth, visit
ing lecturer and acclaimed
actor here at Elon, will
perform on Shakespeare’s
birthday, “I will play the
lion.” His one-man produc
tion will be a comparison of
ways in which actors look at
Shakespeare.
Mr. Wordsworth will act
out characters from Shakes
peare’s works such as Shylock
in The Merchant of Venice,
Cassius in Julius Caesar, the
chorus in Henry V, and
Claudius in Hamlet among
others.
The productions is focused
on the different approaches
that actors have to Shakes
peare.
The title, “I will play the
lion,” comes from Shakes
peare’s play, “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream.” Nick Bot
tom, a character in the play,
wants to play all the parts. He
even says, “I will play the
lion.” All actors want to play
the main parts in Shakes
peare’s plays, and this pro
duction discusses the actors’
points of view.
The performance will be
presented on Wednesday,
April 23, in Mooney Theater
at 8 p.m.
In addition to “I will play
the lion,” Mr. Wordsworth is
producing “Antigone,” an
adaptation of the Greek tra
gedy. This play will be
presented on April 29 and 30

Toward the end of the two
hours Ronstadt performed,
the 13,000 fans went craze
when she poured out “Poor,
Poor Pitiful Me” and “You’n
No Good.” “How Do I
Make You,” a smash hit, was
sung next. “Living in the
USA” ended the concert
before her two encores.
“Heatwave” was the first
and she said goodbye to a
rare performance with her
version of the dramatic “Des
perado.”
Linda Ronstadt’s various
types of music— pop, coun
try, rock, folk, rhythm and
blues— are different things to
different people. She inter
prets songs in ways that fit
her, style. Her concert
sounded great, her songs were
fun, and her recordings at
