Tuesday, June 10, 1986 Legends play BANDS from Page 8 Arlo Guthrie, one of the archetypes of '60s counterculture, is coming to Omaha. Guthrie first gained fame and acclaim from the "hippie generation" with "Alice's Restaurant," an eighteen minute underground hit. "Alice," with its left-wing irony and thought-provoking lyrical insistence, put Arlo in the eminent folk music ranks of his father, Woody. Guthrie's music consists of numer ous "story songs" that blend social statements and anecdotes. Though most of his work is on the humorous side, he can be furiously serious on tunes like "Chilling of the Evening." His greatest work, besides "Alice," has to be the venomous anti-Nixon anthem, "Presidential Rag." Even today, it's still on its satirical, scathing target with a message that applies to any cor rupt president. Guthrie will be joined by John Prine, a former folk artist who has gradually evolved into a soft rocker. His first LP., "John Prine," was also his most suc cessful with such classics as "Hello in There" and "Sam Stone." A lot of his early work contained morose, angst ridden images of white working-class lifestyles. In the mid 70s, Prine sharpened his experimental music claws on such albums as "Common ( Sense," a com mercial failure and a creative triumph. His sidewalk yowl and rocked-up sound were too daring for the general public, but he persevered and weiri, on to make' such esoteric gems as "Bruised Orange," which critics call one of his best albums ever. - - ' Tracks like "Fish and Whistle" and "Crooked Pieces of Time" proved that when it came to lyrical whimsy, Prine. led the-pack. The simplicity of his work, juxta posed .with a remarkable sense of social awareness made Prine one of the most fascinating underground artists of the 70s. Guthrie, and Prine will play at the Omaha Music Hall on June 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $13.50 and available at Dirt Cheap, Pickles and Brandeis in Lincoln, and Drastic Plastic in Omaha.

Stallone's 'Cobra,' remake of 'Tie Fly9 among summer films Analysis By Ken DiMaggio Staff Reporter One way to babysit children especially teens '-r is to seduce them with summer films about lov able robots, lonely kids who cow have relationshipsand remakes of '50s science-fiction movies for a decade that is a horrifying remake of that time. ' " Sylvester Stallone mauls the sea- -son first with "Cobra" " The old Hollywood tough guy had to have a tough name. You wouldn't, believe John Wayne single-handedly wiping out an entire Viet Cong com pany if he used his real name, Mar ion Morrison. But this new one-man rime-fighting machine that Stallone plays is called Marion Cobretti. If you call him Marion he won't punch your face in unless you're scum. But don't call Stallone primitive. What other tough guy has given his latest film character a wimpy name? Has Clint Eastwood ever done a movie called, "Dirty Lesley?" Give a young and talented direc tor one successful movie, and he'll give you back a formula. John Bad ham, who made himself known with "War Games," gives, us "Short Cir cuit," where technology stars again .in the form of a lovable peacenik robot, designed for military use. Funny how the liberal hero is a machine and not a human being we can identify with. The remake this summer is "The Fly," starring Jeff Goldblum and scheduled for release in August. The sequel this summer is "Aliens," starring Sigourney Weaver as the only crew member to survive a nightmarish pair of slimy teeth. It is schedule for release in mid-July.
