Beach Boys concert Saturday
It might be winter outside, but inside
Peishiriy Auditoiium Saturday night it will be a
California summer. Those eternal surfers the
Bench Boys will present a concert there.
The Beach Boys will be singing hits from
tlvir golden age such as Fun Fun Fun, Help Me
Rhonda, I Get Around, and other numbers
the early '60s surf era.
Recent appearances around the country
have proved their appeal is still high; their
concert at the Hollywood Palladium was sold
far in advance and packed to the rafters with
kids mainly under 18.
In Lincoin, loo, every juke box in town has
i least one Beach Boy tune, and it's usually
pljyed as often as anything on the Top 40.
Appearing with the Beach Boys will be Joe
Walsh and Barnstorm. They have been enjoying
a wave of popularity with their hit Rocky
Mountain Way.
When Walsh left the James Gang last year
everyone wondered why. The reason soon
became apparent in his solo LP, Barnstorm.
Shortly after, he formed his own band, also
called Barnstorm, and came out with a
successful rock and roll album, The Smoker
You Drink, The Player You Get.
Pete Townshond has said Joe Walsh is his
favorite contemporary guitarist, and this latest
album bears out his belief. Other members of
Barnstorm are Rock Grace, keyboard, Kenny
Pacerelli on bass, Tom Stevenson on
synthesizer, and drummer Joe Vi tali.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are
available at the Daisy, Union South Desk and at
the Pershing box office.
Kids in early 60s
saw, played war
When I was a kid back in the early 60?,, they still sold lots
of war toys, there were war shows on TV, and my friends and
I played war. We all expected to go to war when we became
young men. Everybody went to war.
Remember Combat? If was a TV show with Vic Morrow as
Sgt. Saunders. It was about a sguad of Americans fighting
across France during World War II. Each episode consisted
mostly of killing, with inept Germans dying by the score and
an occasional brave American dying for a Silver Star. Cowards
were seldom killed,' only disgraced, which was worse.
Saunders was the iest character because he had the neatest
equipment. He had color camouflage instead of net on his
helmet, and he carried a submachine gun. The other enlisted
men had to carry those clumsy M.ls, except for the lieutenant
who had a .32 carbine, and Kirby, who handled the Browning
Automatic Rifle (BAH). Kirby was an unpleasant man, but he
could aim the BAR without using the bipod, which is hard to
do.
We became ballistics experts. While other kids knew about
Al Kaline and Roger Maris, we knew about .30cal. air-cooled

We were students ol guerrilla luetics. We discussed hilltop
advantages, booby traps, mine fields and sniper placement.
We knew ail the Army ranks. We whimpered for poor old
Rommel, the betiayed "Desert Fox." We watched actors die
remotely in bloodless drama. We knew why Truman dropped
the bombs.
On TV, toy tanks, toy bombers, loy machine guns, toy
battleships, helmet',, titles and grenades were profusely
advertised. Wc seldom bought anything like that, however,
because they felt like toys, while stick could imaginatively be
a real gun.
We played death. TV reinforced our childish view of death
as violence, not as pain or obliteration, Wo imitated the effects
of stomach wounds and brain shots. We writhed in
bullet-riddled spasms and tossed ourselves to the shell-blasted
lawns. We died like the friends of our fathers-on Omaha
Beach in black and white.
