DOSe Boys will be boys, if adults let them FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS First it was school districts across the country banning tag at recess, cit ing it as a game that was “intensely aggressive." Now, school officials in Stockholm. Sweden have confiscated birthday invitations from an 8-year-old boy who was passing them out in class. Their reasoning: The boy was not passing them out to all of his classmates. Apparently, the two boys who didn’t receive invitations were just a bit too sensi tive and the school wanted to protect them from humiliation. Obviously, the scarring would have been too much. Now, there’s nothing wrong with promoting inclusion, but this is just taking things a bit too far. Toughen up, kids.

Rock veterans pitch solid game on new record BY JAMIE WILLIAMS DIVERSIONS EDITOR Few things are as entwined into the fabric of American life as base ball. Steeped in history; pageantry, legend and myth, it is a game that has seen its share of supernatu ral moments and eccentric folk heroes. In many ways, the same could be said of rock n' roll. And in a year that sees the standard “Take Me Out to the Ball Game" reach its centennial, what better time to honor the two institutions that wind so deeply through Americana, twisting together at points check out the 1986 Dodgers’ “Baseball Boogie" to form a double-helix of cul tural touchstones. Legendary songwriter Steve Wynn knows both sides of the spiral, as do Peter Buck (R.E.M) and Scott McCaughev (Young Fresh Fellows, Minus 5 and R.E.M), who have combined their knowledge of the game into The Baseball Project, a group steeped in musical credibility as weil as baseball appreciation. And they aren’t shy about flexing their collective muscles in either of those regards. The songs are simple enough, drawing from the sounds of The Baseball Project's other bands, but the true charm lies in the lyrics, which are intricate recollections of baseball myth. Whether it's the opening romp of “Past Titne," which poses the question, “Past time, are you past your prime?" or the mariachi styled, first-person tale of leg endary Dodger pitcher Fernando Valenzuela in Spanish, no less the songs are treats for any ama teur hardball historian. Each of the tales stands out on its own, conveying plenty of infor mation. all covered by rawhide guitar and the gruff vocals of three seasoned veterans. Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails is an interesting look at the intrica- Ghr Qaiiii Sar Brrl l| MUSIC REVIEW THE BASEBALL PROJECT VOL 1: FROZEN ROPES AND DYING QUAILS ROCK irkkirtf cies of the game’s history, from the oft-overlooked Curt Flood the game’s first free agent to the even more oft-overlooked Harvey Haddix threw 12 perfect innings for the Pirates in 1959 —and it mostly takes the back roads to Cooperstown. That's not to say the stars of the game aren’t represented. “Jackie's Lament." a first-person account of the historic career of Jackie Robinson, is definitely an album highlight. But most of all, this is a record for baseball fans, by baseball fans. A musical textbook, more than a vanity project for established stars, this record stands out in spite of its novelty, not because of it. As the second track declares: “Ted F—ing Williams," indeed.
