I Shocked’s talking distracting, annoying
j By John Payne

Michelle Shocked
3 “Michelle Shocked Live’’
PolyGram
For years, Mel Tillis has suffered
from a severe stultering problem that
has hampered his ability to speak, but
not to sing. Pop-folk artist Michelle
Shocked suffers from a similar afflic
tion: When she sings, she is easy to
I listen to, but when she speaks she has
the ability to annoy the hell out of her
audience with endless, pretentious
jabber.
So, there arc problems with a live
album.
Recorded at London’s Oxford
Apollo, “Michelle Shocked Live”
really is a mini-album, containing a
I total of just 17 minutes of music. The
Five tunes on the LP all are pretty
good, representing the range ot
Shockcd’s musical interests.
“My Little Sister” opens up side
one of the album with a fine rock
abilly pace and fierce horns. Shockcd’s
voice is perhaps best suited for this
style of music as she screams out her
warning: “Don’t you mess around
with my little sister.”
Shocked seems to love to talk
between songs though, and if she had
something especially important to say,
this would be OK. But her ridiculous
babbling only serves to interrupt the
album’s flow.
She comes off sounding like a
second-rate Arlo Guthrie as tries to
make some sort of point about law
enforcement’s treatment of drifters in
the United States: “One of the dan
gers of traveling on your own, espe
cially if you’re a woman, is that from
time to time, it’s likely you’ll be
picked up by the police and taken to
the local psychiatric hospital, and
they’ll call you a psychotic ...”
Maybe if you’d shut up and sing,
Michelle, that sort of thing wouldn’t
happen.
With songs like “5 a.m. in Am
sterdam,” however, Shocked proves
that she can be quite eloquent at times.
“5 a.m.” is a melodic folk lunc about
being a drifter that elicits more empa
thy than all of Shocked’s preaching.
Shocked has a knack for sultry
blues vocals as well. She moans her
way effectively through “Sleep Keeps
Me Awake” and “Silent Ways,” the
two best songs on the album.
It’s too bad though that every song
must be undermined by a lot of use
less talk. Shocked should have heeded
her own words form ‘ ‘Silent Ways”:
“ . . . silence is golden, words arc
made of lead. And in the apathy of
love, somethings arc belter letl un
said.”
Just shut up and sing, Michelle.

Modern Cinderella story rejresnes;
first-class acting captivates audience
By Julie Naughton
Senior Reporter
‘‘Prctly Woman” is the enormously
appealing story of how a prostitute
and a corporate raider find happiness
I in Beverly Hills. And it is one of the
freshest, most innovative, most charm
ing romantic comedies to come along
in many a year.
This modern-day Cinderella story
features Julia Roberts as Vivian Ward,
an 1 lth-gradc dropout who came to
Beverly Hills from small-town Geor
gia. When the money ran out, Vivian
was too ashamed to return to her
hometown, so she moved in to a run
down apartment on Hollywood Boulc
vard with Kit Dc Lucca (Laura San
Giancomo) and became a prostitute.
Vivian has a very low self-image,
but she’s irrepressible, appealing and
full of spunk. She doesn’t think much
of herself, but she doesn’t let a whole
lot get her down. She tries to remain
optimistic and upbeat.
The movie also features Richard
Gere as Edward Lewis, a rich corpo
rate raider from New York. Edward is
a contradiction in terms. On one hand,
he enjoys, as businessmen would say,
“playing hard ball with the big boys.’’
He is extremely lough in business. He
doesn’t lake no for an answer. He
buys billion-doliar companies like they
arc candy bars, proceeding to break
the companies up and sell the pieces.
On the other hand - besides the
business degree and the toughness -
he is a classically trained pianist, a
gentleman who desperately is afraid
of getting hurl, a scared little boy who
is looking for emotional security.
The two meet when Edward gets
lost on Hollywood Boulevard in his
snotty lawyer’s car. He asks Vivian,
who is working the street, for direc
tions.
“Sure, five bucks,’’ she says.
“You can’t charge for directions,”
he says.
“Hey, I can do anything I want. I
ain’t lost,” Vivian replies.
He asks her if she has change for a
twenty.
“For twenty, I’ll show you the
