Paul Tisdale/DN
Linden in Lincoln: Couples wake up
By Mark Nemeth
Staff Reporter
Piper Petrovsky’s long dark hair
looked like the long dark hair of
Vinnie Robustner: a man on a black
futon with Janet Ohsozolo.
Janet Ohsozolo wore long, earth
tone, floral skirts. She had just turned
21, born in the last month of the
1960s.
Janet Ohsozolo’s sister Lisa woke
on a dark green futon with Mickey
Nuprin, the 25-year old brother of
Chevac Weinberg’s ex-girlfriend,
Melanie Nuprin, and the husband
i of Jennifer Jobbers’ older sister,
Lilly Jobbers.

Piper Petrovsky woke on an off
white futon with Jennifer Jobbers,
their early morning emotions a prod
uct of their late-night conversa
tions about God, spirituality and
love, their muscular relaxation a
product of their late-night sex. It
was 7:31 a.m.
Piper was playing with Jennifer
Jobber’s hair as if her head were a
puppet.
Jennifer was playing with the
rock Piper said was her: a rock
painted purple, with three yellow
dots inside a red triangle. She’d tell
him it didn’t look like her, and he’d
say that her beauty betrayed real
ity.
Jennifer described sex with Piper
to Sondra by comparing him to Ste
ven Spielberg films: crafty and emo
tionally manipulative.
“Cool,” Sondra said.
Piper and Jennifer were moving
to San Francisco today with Fred.
“Ouch,” Jennifer said.
“Sorry. Say, is this your natural
color?” Piper said.
“Yah, why? Is my hair your next
art project?” Jennifer asked.
Piper laughed. Jennifer had re
ceived a haircut on Monday.
“Here," Piper said, handing her
a hat.
Jennifer laughed, placing the hat
on her head.
“Jennifer, oh Jenny,” Piper said.

Linden Lemon woke on a teal
futon with Sylvia Julius, her bell
alarm ringing. It was 7:45 a.m.
Sylvia smiled, and Linden stood
up.
“I need a job," Linden said.
Linden had lived the past year
on what he had made by volun
teering for pharmaceutical tests at
Lincoln Labs.
“You always say that,” Sylvia
said.
Linden sat down.
Sylvia stood up, pressed the play
button on her boom box, and the
song played: “So, you’re a philoso
pher? Yes. I think very deeply.”

Jill Coptic woke on a military
green futon with Chevac Wein
berg.
“Good morning," Jill said. It was
8:15 a.m.
« • • •
It was 8:37 a.m., and Linden
Lemon was telling College Coun
selor that he was depressed.
“All of my friends have ways to
express themselves artistically, but
I don’t have any talents,” Linden
said.
“Maybe you need to exercise
more," College Counselor said.
“I always end up in dysfunc
tional relationships," Linden said.
“Do you get enough sleep? Eat
well?” College Counselor asked.
“Yah, I guess. Maybe 1 have a
fear of success,” Linden said.
"How are you doing in school?”
College Counselor asked.
“You’re reminding me of my
parents,” Linden said.
“All right,” College Counselor
said, handing Linden a form. “I’d
like you to take this test.”
Linden took the test and was
told he was passive-agressive. An
undercurrent of negative energy
came from both Linden and Col
lege Counselor. Linden told Col
lege Counselor that she was pas
sive-aggressive and left the little
room. Jill Coptic was sitting in the
waiting room, reading “Alice in
Wonderland.”
“Good morning,” Jill said, smil
ing. “How are you?”
“Passive-agressive," Linden said.
“You? How’s Chevec?”
“Why’d you decide to see a
therapist, Linden?” Jill asked.
“Why’d you?” Linden asked.
“Do you want to meet for coffee
after I see the counselor?” Jill asked.
“No. I have a class," Linden said.
“Skip it,” Jill said. Til skip my
appointment.”
“I can’t," Linden said. “I haven’t
gone to any classes for so long."
“I’ve heard you say that before,”
Jill said.

a drive to San Francisco. Fred
Frecglove was dialing Lincoln Labs

with Fugazi,” said Kristian Ander
son, head music director of KRNLV
KRNU obtains most of its pro
gramming information from the
College Music Journal, a trade
magazine that compiles its charts
from more than 300 college sta
tions nationwide.
Anderson said the station enjoys
programming local bands and lo
cally touring bands.
“We’ve had the Beat Farmers
and the Cadillac Tramps in the
studio and the Northern Pikes did
an acoustic show on the air also,”
he said.
Though Duffy’s, the Common
place and most recently Fat City
locations for “alternative”
_ play, the new music scene
in Lincoln was once much more
active.
In 1980, Lincoln bands would
play at the Parlyroom. Among them
were the DK’d Woolies, the Specs,
the Clique (later called Dick Tracy
and the Coloring Book), Hymn to
Joy and Pogrom. Then there was
the Drumstick, with For Against
and the Cartoon Pupils. The Brick
yard would showcase Baby Hot
line and Sideshow, and sometimes
featured as many as six bands in a
weekend.
Local music magazines were
Croduced, the first prominent one
eing Capitol Punishment. The
publications release qtssettes of the
local bands. "
Like national and international
independent music, the types of
local independent bands changed.
When the Drumstick and Brick
yard closed, the local independent
music scene subsided until Duffy’s
picked up some of the slack.
New, inexpensive music tech
nology is the most significant change
in independent music since the
widespread growth of the inde
pendent record company, which
allowed more bands to get signed.
Today, so many people listen to
independent or “alternative" mu
sic, one wonders what this music is
an alternativeto. Though TheCure,
U2, and R.E.M. were on small rec
ord labels in 1983, their records
today go platinum, and their reve
nues are significant in comparison
to major labels.
Independent labels still thrive,
though. Regardless of the changes
independent music goes through,
today we can hear that music on
local radio stations, and potentially
see that music on major labels.
