Earth, Wind and
Fire to revise show
by Bobbee Zeno
It's quite common for musical
rock groups to render eccentric
ldlosyncracies while performlng-
ln concert. Their freaky behaviorisms are lucldly'dlscerned
and Interpreted by one Jazz critic
who says "a musician's behavlor-
Isms^on stage stem from feelings
too deep to be measured." Many
of these ldosyncracles are Imitated every day by people who
aren't technically or musically
Inclined. Such as a person listening to music from a "Jamming

while contorting his face Into
strange expressions. These expressions stem from a pseudo-
fathomless pit of musical Incredibility,

that disallows any amateur Imitations to exist. It is doubtful that

"mellow madness" that this group
