St. Pat's day features
shamrocks, green beer
With a little help from green beer and
Irish friends, St. Patrick's day will jig into
Lincoln with a bit more enthusiasm than
other days.
Many Lincoln bars wUl be catering to
the crowds with a variety of entertainment.
McGuffcy's, 1042 P St., will have
"authentic" Irish stew as part of the menu
and green beer, according to manager Jeff
Aden.
Taped Irish music and green beer will be
part of the fun at O.C. Kelly's, 220 N.
10th St. Jek Kelly, manager, said they're
expecting a wall-to-wall crowd with every
thing being "real nuts."
Barry's Tavern, 235 N. 9th St., will be
hosting corned beef and cabbage and
green beer, but according to Laura Barry,
"We're our own entertainment."
"I keep hoping since it's on Monday
nobody will come but everybody says, Are
'Mad Love' . .
Continued from Page 12
Ronstadt comes off as a modernized
version of someone Phil Spcctor might
have discovered in the mid-60s, full of
tempting vocals and frustrating romances
without as much innocence. Again, she and
Asher have carefully chosen from the
stable of other artists, nabbing three songs
from Elvis Costello, two other 1965
classics and one song from Neil Young,
while still fitting in three offerings from
Ronstadt 's lead guitarist Mark Goldenberg.
Goldenberg's title track starts the album
rather uneventfully with a stock rock
sound that provides no real test for Linda.
From there it slides into the first Costello
offering. "Party Girl," which Ronstadt has
no trouble pulling off, either musically or
image-wise, due to lyrics that seem tailor
made for her.
No token rock
The runaway drum roll which opens
"How Do I Make You," unleashes the
hardest output Ronstadt has yet offered. It
makes her stabs at Buddy Holly and Chuck
Berry material seem hopelessly sterile by
comparison. Though the song is already,
labeled on the album jacket as being a "hit
single", for the first time it appears she
means what she sings. This is not just token
rock music for the masses.
Not to get too carried away, she then
falls back on the proven, more mellow
sound of two 60s cover tunes, "I Can't Let
you kidding?"
iP1? C!ccn Frog Lounec. 1010 P :
will also have green beer, as will Duffy's
Tavern, 1410 0 St.
A Duffy's bartender said the tradition
of celebrating St. Patrick's Day is done
"year after year."
"With a name like Duffy's you just have
Casey's Other Place, 1020 P St., will
take the celebrating another step with hats,
garters, Irish songs and other decorations.
Misty III, 6235 Havclock Ave., will also
have hats and horns, along with corned
beef, cabbage and green beer.
Manager Bill Leung said St. Patrick's
Day is "always the biggest day of the
year."
Misty's will be coordinating the cele
bration with the opening of their new
disco.
Go" and "hurt So Bad." The first is
wonderfully produced and tightly har
monized to retain its original flavor. "Hurt
So Bad." a hit for the Lcttermen among
others, is equally well produced, but Ron
stadt 's vocal stylization becomes over
indulgent MOR fare.
Haunting quality
Neil Young's "Look Out For My Love"
opens side two with a formidable chal
lenge. Though Ronsta'lt succeeded in
covering Young's "Love Is A Rose," his
simple, melancholy delivery puts au un
mistakable mark on his songs and they are
better left untouched. What Ronstadt has
done is to shave the rougher edges off Neil
and maintain the song's haunting quality.
For someone who is not always so discern
ing with others' material, this is certainly a
brownie point.
Goldenberg's "Cost Of Love" is his best
piece on the album, capturing the mid 60s
musical ideals and letting Ronstadt run
with them. But Mad Love's finest cut
comes on Costello's "Girls Talk," an in
vigorating composition that she delivers
with true dedication. She sinks her teeth
into the song, allowing the classically
adolescent lyrics to work throughout
Costello's melody changes and letting her
voice go with its powerful potential.
Mad Love saves Ronstadt. this time.
But she must know that she often treads
on thin ice, for even in her most daring
moments, linda knows how to play it sr.'s.
