Nacho nacho
By Rave Odd-dick
Mindless boogie was the order of the
Mght, and the concert crowd fell to the
occasion. They were mindless.
' The occasion was the first Lincoln ap
pearance of the Village Idiots, the hottest
disco band in the land. And hot they were,
playing their hits, "Nacho Cheese" and
"NAACP,"
As soon as the band took the stage, they
launched .into the now-famous lyrics to
"Nacho Cheese:"
"Nacho, Nacho Cheese,
. I wanna be a nacho cheese. . ."
The crowd went into a dancing frenzy.
And the band, dressed in their familiar re
galia of idiots' costumes from Vound the
world, gave them more.
The crowd had barely settled down
when they launched into "NAACP," their
anthem to brotherhood. During the chorus,
the dancers formed the letters
N-A-A-C-P above their heads. The kids
on American Bandstand would've been
proud of them. Mindlessness at its best.
Homos in the outhouse
But that wasn't all. The Village Idiots
even graced us with their latest hit, "In
the Outhouse." Rumor has it that there are
homosexual connotations in this song, but
all I heard was a tribute to the human pos
terior. And the kids on TV got nothing on
our hometown dancers when it comes to
mindlessness. During "Outhouse," I believe
they invented a dance you won't see on
TV.
The Idiots also gave the lucky audience
a preview of hits to come when they
played several of their new songs. The most
promising was "Back Door Man " not the
blues classic but yet another song about
brotherhood.
i Overall, ;the concert was via .strong
mixture of hit singles and newf material.
The crowd obviously preferred the current
hits,' though it was hard to tell-no matter
what the band did, they never stopped
dancing or changed their rhythm.
Corpse hit the spot
The opening act was a new band called
the Fishing Reels, a progressive, heo-punk-bluegrass-classical-folk
outfit that put the
crowd in a perfect mood for the Idiots.
cheese, you're just a spot on my buck seat
Amid exhortations to the crowd to
"have t jolly good f. . . Jng time," lead
singer Jimmy Corpse did just that, accept
ing drinks of kerosene from crowd mem
bers. After breaking both legs by falling
off the stage and attempting to slash his
wrists twice, the singer was carried off the
stage in a pine box. What a showman!
But before he left, Corpse gave the
crowd some memorable moments-check
these lyrics from their hit "You're Just a
Spot on my Backseat:"
"You're just a spot on my back seat,
Once upon a time
I thought you were a star
But now I only remember you
When Tm cleaning out my car."
. The political implications of . that
song are awesome, and it had a catchy,
two-chord arrangement to boot. Yessir, it
was a great concert-as soon as I get out
of the hospital, I'm gonna grab my new
boyfriend and sashay down to the next
mindless boogie concert.

traffic deaths
, v By Rundy Excess
Grand Island Sen. Malph Kill-em and
Omaha Sen: Pat Vendetta have promised to
introduce legislation next year to raise the
age at which one may attend R and X rated
movies to 21. ;
.The proposed bill would stiffen laws re
garding admission to PG rated movies to
17. KiU-em explained that the number of
. sex-related traffic deaths has increased
, since movies became more explicit.
-. He explained that the influence of what
he called "dirty movies" on 18 and 19 year ;
folds has a trickle-down effect, and even
tually erodes the morals and values of 13
l and 14 year olds."
. , Kill-em offered statistics showing-that
VD, pregnancy and sex. in general have
each increased among teens in the last 10
years.' '
This is directly attributable to permis
sive policies ' toward entrance to ; these
movies," he said. Kill -cm added that the
bill will address a much larger problem,
that being increasing population.
Opponents of the biU argue that passage
of the measure would have no effect on
the population growth, but KiU-em said if a
fire has been caused by a ps leak, the gas
supply must be shut off before the fire can
be put out
"His analogy doesn't work" quipped
Grieve Fowlup, an opponent of this and ,
other KUl-em bills aimed at taking privi- .
lecs away from your 3 people.

Pres. Farter plans to halt
record, Preparation H prices
By Dub Enema
Washington (SOB)-In response to
spiraling costs of records, President
Farter unveiled his plan to control the
price of all albums and singles today.
"Between wars in the east and wars
in the west and the mouse that ran up
Rosalynn's dress, people need a cheap
source of entertainment other than
JV&ftf Moves and Rollin in Their Sweet
Baby's Arms, "he said.
To save dwindling supplies, all FM
stations have been temporarily closed,
he said. He also ordered that AM radio
stations implement programs where
more commercials, and disc jockey
chatter dominates the airwaves than
music.
Farter ordered the closing of discos
on Sunday's and standby rationing plan
for records in case the situation gets
critical.
He encouraged people to find substi- ,
tutes for the household uses of records
and for people to slow their stereos to
16 revolutions ajninute.
" Ease demand
This will lessen the demand .for .
records Entil the situation eases, he said.
For those who still can find good
rock V roll records to listen too, Farter
. said, they should rock less and roll more
until the prices of records start climbing
down. j
World demand for records have shot
up since 1978 when Sid Vicious and
punk rock assaulted theEast Coast in
a new wave. .
The vicious attack was labeled a de
volution since it hit as people were still t
trying to recover from an attack by
disco.
In response to the assault, people be
gan to find a variety of uses for albums
ranging from lining bird cages to an ef
fective substitute for diaphragms.
As more uses for albums were found,
the demand for records rose as the
supply -fell dangerously low because
records are produced in only a few
select cities in the United States.
Ordered surcharge
In order to conserve dwindling sup- ;
plies, mayors of the cities ordered a sur
charge placed on each record. k
"We must conserve our ordyi
resource the mayors said adding that!
high record sales are the only way to
keep the record, moguls from returning
to their premuTionaire status as charter
members of Hell's Angels. 1
Last week, Farter announced that,
the Justice Department would take ac-H
tion against windfall profits the record
distributors received from sales. " s
Farter charged that the record dis
tributors doubled their delivery costs to
. take advantage of the lucrative record
profits. . ; . -. ..v :.-
. ", . f '
Since, then, the record distributers'
have responded: Hey anan; don't buj
me, we have cncui trouble being HI thy
rich.", y; j: . ;
Because records are necessary for a
good time, the spiraling prices liavc been
a factor in the nation's annual inflation
rate of 640 percent, Farter wid.
