Doo wa doobee do. Sha bop bop bop sha bam.
By KELLY LEWIS
The last thing this paper needs is
another Wild Blue Yonder album re¬
view By my count there have already
been two of them, in addition to exten¬
sive coverage of the debut party at
the band's nightclub There was also
a review in Insight one in the Valley
Music New. and a surprisingly long one
in the Bee And then there was the
verbal review delivered to me at WBY
by a raving blue Yonderette who prob¬
ably knows the songs better than the
band does And there was the speed
rap I was one third of along with two
other Blue-boys after we'd listened to
poke fun at counter-culture debutantes
those flashy folk who demand a mono¬
lithic and monotonous beat before
they' II condescend to dance, who want
sterile chants rather than lyric expres
sion, who take their polyester straight
and their whiskey with 7-up. who
Wait Is my prejudice showing? Is it
too obvious that I feel at one wit. the
Blue and that you won i get an ob|ec
trve review? Sorry I'm emotionally
attached to these people I don' t even
know We meet across a loud dark
room every month or so to carry on
the affair I always get off When I
leave, I pray to Bacchus to let me drive
home safely so that I may work to be-

'Blue Print" is a damn good album
no   no-Bruce Scott wrote that   I need
to do a new review of the Blue   Doo wa
doobee do Sha bop bop bop sha bam
Why all the hoopla dee da dee da?
Because the WBY stands a hairy head
above the other local bands Because
they are accessible nearly every week
end and holiday Because they deliver
the goods live Because they write
their own music Because disco sucks
Because Top-40 sucks Because their
club has a kind of rustic class and I'll
strawberry-fluff marguentas, leather-
lacket clientele and antique nic-naks
glued to the walls ("look at that young
man Harold He s having a seizure "
'He s fallen! into a seventies stupor
dear  Look at him drool   I  II call a wait
The WBY and the place they play in
ousness The pina colada people go
elsewhere and that s |ust how the
Yondroids want it The Blue » lyrics
especially those by_  Bill  Bixler.-often
.erson goes to a nightclub to forget
rork and school (you say) Bands
you say) just provide music to pick up
■omen bv (You sav) Turn off the brain

liberal education a back-lot doctorate
Ram-a-dam-i ding dong More impor
tant. something basic concerning cul
lure is taught there Culcha cha cha
Not just our culture, but any culture
itself
The lesson is this excellence and
individuality can prevail They not only
can but must prevail occassionally it
others are to be inspired by the success
ol a few toward excellence and Individ
uahty of their own
The WBY makes these qualities pay
Don't think that it applies only to art
and entertainment, the Wild Blue Les
There is no time quite like
Christmas for remembering
special people.
