_% Trip to LA, a success TREK from page 9 wearing as I write this (which prob ably retails at $60), a pop-up book ($ 15), a tape with some of the mu sic from the soundtrack ($10), etc. All said and done, how much did Paramount drop on me? About $800, I'd say, give or take a hun dred. And there were about 70 col lege journalists there, plus the 40 or 50 members of the “alternative” press. That’s roughly $96,000 in all. Hey, no one said trying to buy off the press was cheap. Does this kind of thing happen all the time? Let’s be blunt—yep. People are always trying to buy journalists off in an effort to get fa vorable coverage. Big newspapers generally have policies against ac cepting any sort of free material in an attempt to fend off the specter of marketing influences. But, as my editor said, we ARE a college paper. “Have fun,” he said. “Just keep track of everything and don’t let yourself be bought. If the movies are bad, say so.” Is it going to be the last time it happens? Probably not. Paramount said they were going to start doing this again on a regular basis, and one of the other journalists I met said 20th Century Fox had called, tell ing her they were considering a similar promotion. Did all of the money affect my judgment? Sorry Paramount, but nope. I’m firmly enough set in my ways and believe in myself enough as a critic to know that I honestly wasn’t swayed—I just had a good time on someone else’s bill.

I was too busy being ushered from interview to interview, running all over the country to do clubs. It was too much.” Although Sunday’s show at the Ranch Bowl was on the second leg of the tour, the crowd still seemed rela tively ambivalent toward the band. A few pierced teen-agers hung in the comers of the sparsely populated room where the concert was held, tables and chairs occupied most of the perimeter and half of the floor by the stage. When the opening band, Old Boy Network, had finished its set, Primitive Radio Gods launched into a hazy three-cord guitar assault that lasted through the first three songs. After the assault, O Connor com mented on the segregation of the audi ence, those sitting at the bar and the younger crowd sitting down by the stage. “Yeah, great country. I was in the Navy. I love how they can ship you off to get your legs blown away, but you can’t (kink a beer.” A few teen-agers acted as if they had just experienced an epically, and those by the bar asked for another beer. About halfway through the set there was a brief pause and the introduction to “Standing...” broke through the darkness. A wild applause came from the crowd as it gathered in front of the stage, and a junior high sock-hop quickly ensued. One particularly romantic high school kid decided it was hysterical to ash his cigarette on his girlfriend’s Booooaoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai head—twice. The piano sections in the song are derived from the keyboard; unfortu nately, it sounded obtuse and fuzzy. No one in the swaying masses seemed to notice as O’Connor seemed to soothe the keyboard with his soft and undu lating vocals. The crowd slowly dissipated after loaoaaaiiAianaoBiioisia the song was done. A significant pro portion headed for the door, while the rest of the crowd filtered out during the second half of the show. “We try to keep the shows fresh, we alternate the songs and do some El sides and everything...but they-are all very structured,” O’Connor said. “We try.” a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a ft a a ft a'l Lane Hickenbottom/DN CHRIS O’CONNOR of Primitive Radio Gods played guitar and keyboards and sang Wednesday night at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha. $3.25 par day for 15 words on individual student and student organization ads. $4.50 par day for 15 words on non-student ads. $.15 each additional word. $.75 billing charge.
