6 Thursday, March 2, 2000 HONKYTONK From Page 5 “After being forced to take piano lessons as a kid - I hated it! I decided I wasn’t going to listen to anyone else tell me how to play an instrument or make music,” she said. Swingle said she was actually sur prised when reviewers applied the term country to Trailer Bride’s music. “1 picked up the paper and I saw they were calling us country and I was like, 'Oh my God, I’m country.™ In her psychedelic silver dress and glitter-rimmed glasses, Melissa Swingle looked like she belonged at a rave, not a rodeo. She said she hoped college students wouldn’t be afraid or turned away from her music when they heard that it was country. “It has a little more emotion, but it doesn’t equal cheesy,” she said. “It’s simple, to the point.” Across the room a college-aged guy 1491/2 E Franklin St ”> Chapel Hill, NC ‘ -, 960-8688 Best known secret in Chapel Hill Offering burgers, sandwiches, and specialty , sandwiches for lunch and dinner, CTOCXy ,p, with a late night menu and 23 'f<oMr ofTW' 11 * beers on tap.

His skintight shirt said, “American by birth, Southern by the grace of God," but his cargo pants and wallet chain gave him an urban edge. The guy said everybody just called him Cray, and that he was a big fan of classic country. “This music’s a little more raw - more like crazy alternative rock with some country thrown in -but I like most of it,” he said. It seemed like most of the people at the Honky-Tonka-Rama, from country mamas to punk-rock kids, liked the music and the message. As the evening wore on, the Chicken Wire Gang’s jams drifted into the night, and the guy with the bushy beard kept on singing. “I live in a different world/Our worlds are the same/Sharin’ the pain, the yin and the yang.” The Arts <8 Entertainment Editor can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu. m FI DIVERSIONS Etc.

Watching Some 'Toons, Havin' a Bud Chances are you’ve seen the hard-tq miss Budweiser beer commercials (cre ated, coincidentally, by the son of University journalism Professor Chuck Stone) that highlight grown men using the catchy “Wazzup” on the telephone.

Last week’s ratings juggernaut “Who Wants To Marry a Multimillionaire?” show quickly became known as “Who Wants to Marry a Rich Wife-Beater?” when stories leaked that multimillion aire Rick Rockwell liked to throw a little more than his money around.

Development on the newest “Superman” film, originally to be direct ed by creepy Tim Burton (“Sleepy Hollow”), has now taken an even stranger turn. Controversial auteur Oliver Stone, of “Natural Bom Killers” and “Platoon” fame, is supposedly at the top of Warner Bros.’ list to helm the superhero pic. The flick will feature a script penned by Bill Wisher (“T2: Judgment Day”), and Nicholas Cage donning the tights.
