Warhol from pop to polished art
'm miif
Who was Andy Warhol? Even
though his fi'mmafcing has carried him
well into 'he 70s, this slick,
silver-haired hadcr of American pop
art and avant-garde now seems a
phenomenon o' the '60s. Warhol was
the one who aimed the Campbell's
Soup can into a pop art shrine. He
produced paintings of car crashes and
siikscreens of fa,, to us people.
In 1963 Wa hoi turned to films.
Efforts such as i 'iss, Cat and Blowjob
were long movies of an object or a
simple function.
He used no editing in these early
films-camera time and real time were
the same. Critics were either bored or
praised the films as the "purist form of
documentary," where people were
people and not characters.
From 1965 to 1868,. Warhol's
stories, as well as his techniques, grew
more complex. He added sound,
editing, color and some scripting to his
underground triumphs Chelsea Girls
(which projected two separate movies
on the screen at once) and Lonesome
Cowboys (a sex-western spoof).
Then, in June 1968, Warhol was
shot by one of his own actresses, and
his personal hand in production
temporarily came to a halt. Warhol
had always been a guiding light behind
his early films. He had created his own
film factory in New York City, where
hii personal stock of actors, actresses
and filmmakers were trained aid
employed OJer and over.
; When the 70s came, Warhol, still
partially inactive, turned a share of the
reins over to Paul Morrissey, who has
since directed most of Warhol's
features.

Four of his most recent
fttrm-Women in Revolt, Heat, Trash
and L' Amour-am now being shown
for one week each at the Hollywood &
Vine Theatres. They reflect the
progression of Warhol's style in recent
years. His stories are becoming mere
linear and the films have more polish,
but the Warhol stamp is Still there.
The first film to be shown is the
X-rated Women in Revolt (1971;
formerly titled Sex). It is an
outrageous satire on a wonrv
liberation group called PIG (Political' -Involved
Girls). It retains much of
Warhol's static sty' '-people do little
but squirm around m the nude or sit
and talk in brilliant, off-the-cuff
dialog, while an impersonal camera sits
back and records all.
Trash (1970) and Heat (1972) both
have Joe Dallesandro as the lead. In
the first, he plays a junkie using his
body to support his habit; his
impotence often causes him
frustration. In the second, he is the
lover of an aging, B-movie star and also
becomes involved with her daughter.
L 'Amour, Warhol's latest film, tells
of the wild antics of a group of young
fun lovers in Paris.
Unless you are used to his style of
making movies, or are one of his fans,
you may dislike Warhol's films. In
dealing with the situations and
problems cf homosexuals, transvestites
and hustlers, he is working in a world
that many cannot communicate with.
Warhol has had little cinematic
exposure in the Midwest, but now
there is this chance to see his later
works.

Record Review by Meg Greene
Merl Saunders, Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, Bill Vitt. Live
at Keystone.
When a friend loaned this album to me, I didn't put
much stock in the saying "I think you'll like this." It seems
that when this situation occurs, I wish that I'd never seen
the record or the person who loaned it to me. But this
2-record album is a good one.
Jerry Garcia, lead guitar and vocals, is at his best. His
guitar playing is hard-hitting. You can't escape the fact that
Gircia is a member, of the Grateful .Qead.v His style.
consistent one, no matter who he plays with.
Merl Saunders' keyboard drive is unmistakable and an
open invitation to loosen up and tap your feet.
The first side opens up with the funky tune, "Finders
Keepers, Losers Weepers." The band achieves rhythm and
precise sound. They move on to a rendition of Dylan's
"Positively Fourth Street" with Garcia singing. The group
moves very close to a Dylan-type atmosphere. This cut
receives extra kudos, as almost any song done by Dylan is
better left alone, but Garcia and Saunders get away with it.
Both records prove to be a potpourri of fine songs. They
even salvage the song "My Funny Valentine," a favorite
much done by various artists. With each song they play, the
band manages to give it a new sound that's easy to listen to.
The album isn't the greatest-it's just good. It's music
that creates a Iqj of moods and covers a lot of styles, and
who wouldn't go for that?
The 1974 'Wanek Awards'
Last week in this column I listed some of
this vear's Grammy Award nominees. Alasl Too
many people believed they were my choices for
the awards. Not so. To remedy the problem, I
have lined some of my choices this week.
In looking over the nominations, it seems
the recording industry is prone to, hand over
awards to artists whose records have sold the
best, to those who have recently died or to
uic;s who drcis with the mot plz?3??. Th
following people andor recordings are my
choices simplv because i think they deserve it.
