Jackson says he’s ‘thrilled’ tobeadad for first time LOS ANGELES (AP)—Sorry Billie Jean, the mother of Michael Jackson’s child is Debbie Rowe. Jackson announced on Monday that he is going to be a pop, deny ing a tabloid report that the couple used artificial insemination and that Rowe, the singer’s friend for 15 years, was being paid to have the baby. “I am thrilled that I will soon be a father.... This is my dream come true,” Jackson, 38, said in a state ment. Rowe, 37, will have the child sometime next year, according to the statement, released by Jackson’s spokeswoman Christine Holevas. No other details about Rowe were released. Holevas denied a Sunday report in the London tabloid News of the World that the baby was a product of artificial insemination and that Rowe was being paid $528,000. She called the report “completely false and irresponsible.” News of the World also reported that the baby is due in February, is a boy and will be named Michael Jackson Jr. It said Rowe was di vorced and had helped treat Jack son for vitiligo, a disorder that light ens the skin. There are no marriage plans and the pop superstar will raise the child himself, the tabloid said. Jackson recently divorced Lisa Marie Presley. In their first live interview after secretly exchanging vows in May 1994, the couple said last year that they were having sex and implied they wanted to have children. Presley already had two children from a previous marriage. Jackson is touring Southeast Asia, performing such hits as the 1982 song “Billie Jean,” about a man denying he had fathered a child with a woman named Billie Jean. CBS dumps three shows in ratings war NEW YORK (AP) — CBS moved quickly to avert another rat ings disaster for its Wednesday night lineup. The network pulled the plug Monday on the comedies “Almost Perfect” and “Public Morals.” It also temporarily shelved the criti cally-praised drama “EZ Streets.” Movies will be shown for the rest of the month in the now-vacant Wednesday night slots. “Public Morals,” billed as an adult sitcom about a police depart ment vice squad, is gone after only one airing. It was the creation of producer Steven Bochco, who has “Hill Street Blues” and “LA. Law” (Hi his resume. Bochco had no com ment on the decision, a spokes woman said.

Kelter StaffReporter Some say he has the largest collec tion of rock £n’ roll oddities in Ne braska, but Stuart Kolnick of Lincoln is always trying to get rid of his rare collectibles. Kolnick, owner of Recycled Sounds at 824 P St. in Lincoln’s Haymarket District, makes his living by selling both new and used records, tapes, compact discs, posters and other assorted curiosities. Some of Kolnick’s rarer goods in clude tour books, buttons, calendars and autographed merchandise. In a box behind the front desk, there’s a pink foam pig that promoted Pink Floyd’s 1987 “Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour. Kolnick said the pig was sitting in one man’s basement for more than eight years before it got to the store. Recycled Sounds recently sold a voodoo doll that promoted Jane’s Addiction’s “Ritual De Lo Ha bitual” album, released in 1990. There’s even a New Kids On The Block puzzle and a paperback biogra phy of 1960s pop star Donovan. Kolnick opened Recycled Sounds 4'/2 years ago. He said that while at tending the University of Nebraska Lincoln, he saw the need for a used record store in the downtown area. “All college towns need to have a primary used outlet,” Kolnick said. As he saw it, Lincoln was “just a place that heeded another store.” Before opening Recycled Sounds, Kolnick worked in various record stores for five years. “I had expertise that was a little dif ferent from what everyone else had,” he said. Kolnick obtains much of his mer chandise through dealers in England, where promotional posters and trinkets are common. He also buys collections from domestic hobbyists and finds goods at record shows held through out the United States. Roadies and other people associ ated with bands often provide Kolnick with odd wares, he said. Catherine Wheel’s tour manager once gave him a package of leftover promotional goods from a 1994 tour. “I have lots of connections,” Kolnick said. “There are lots of old things floating around.” Kolnick himself collects merchan dise primarily relating to REM, U2 and the Beatles. “Eventually I see so much of ev erything that it’s almost easier not to keep it around,” he said of the col lectibles in his store. He said he enjoys the business be cause of the avid collectors who “have been looking for that particular item” and find it in his store. Recycled Sounds, which currently carries more than 2,000 cassettes and CDs and more than 20,000 records, maintains a list of customers who come in looking for collectibles specific to a certain artist: “We always take requests,” Kolnick said. u I have lots of connections. There are lots of old things floating around.” Stuart Kolnick Recycled Sounds owner Recital to feature classic, nontraditional works By Emily Wray StaffReporter Classical music fans will have two good reasons to start the weekend early. CA faculty recital and guest artist will bring their talent to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Music Thursday. . Scott Anderson’s trombone and euphonium performance will be at Kimball Recital Hall. Christelle Menth, chairwoman of the music department at Concordia College, will accompany Anderson on the piano at the free 8 pjn. concert. “Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen” by Gustav Mahler interests Anderson the most, he said. “It’s nontraditional on the trom bone,” Anderson said. When he transcribed the piece about a year ago, taking it from voice repertoire, the only major change he made was removing the words. “It’s really interesting,” he said. “It’s something I’ve done in the past and will continue to do.” Trombonists have to transcribe, or borrow from other music, because they don’t have solos from the great com posers, he said. “Even though our repertoire is ex panding, we still don’t have works by Mahler,” Anderson said. “That’s how we get them.” The Mahler transcription works well, he said, since Mahler had some strong ideas about his music. Mahler struggled with being iden tified as programatic, Anderson said. People thought that his music needed the programs he added, while he thought his music could stand alone. “I take this even furtherhe said. “I’m performing them purely as an absolute melody as an experiment al though the words are on the program.” “Concerto” by Nino Rota, an Ital ian composer, is also on Thursday’s program. “Rota is known as a film com poser,” Anderson said. “I hear that sort of approach in this concerto. The mu sic is suggestive of scenes or images.” Anderson said he prepares for this type of piece by using his imagination. This is the same approach he encour ages his 22 trombone and euphonium students to take, bringing out ideas of cohesiveness. “The use of very extreme dynam ics and colors are very effective, even with the piano accompaniment instead of orchestra,” Anderson said. Thursday night’s Concert continues Anderson’s busy first semester at UNL. Besides teaching lessons, he conducts the trombone choir and teaches the brass skills class, which is a methods class for music education majors. Anderson will perform next as a soloist with the Wind Ensemble on Nov. 17. Guest artist Sergio de los Cobos also plays Thursday at 5 p.m. The pianist’s free concert is in room 119 of the Westbrook Music Building. The Swiss-born pianist will per form solo and chamber music. He got his doctorate from Rice University and currently teaches in Geneva, Switzer land. ",
