Show w I V V . u ' Circle Jerks Final Tour Plays Speedway Cafe but shoes and a neon plastic spider on his by Elizabeth Peterson Forum staff writer Keith Morris has cool hair. The Circle Jerks are great and everything, but his hair... dreds that great belong in the Smithsonian Institute. The Circle Jerks played their Salt Lake show from the tenth anniversary tour on Friday, Sept. 14, 1990, at the Speedway Cafe. A local group called Victims Willing opened. The Weirdoes are touring with the Circle Jerks, and their music is fine, but I have to admit that my favorite part was the drummer, who was wearing plaid suspenders, heart boxers, and nothing else shoulder. Call me shallow. But the Jerks...ah, the Jerks. They are energizing. Morris is insane in the most austere way. He actually stopped to chide (if you could call it that) one of those hyperactive fans that plunges from the stage into the mass of swarming sweaty bodi es on the floor. Thats real cool , cowboy. Youre jumping up here with those big spikes on your boots and then into the crowd. Youre gonna (expletive) someone up! Get down! And he gave the crowd what seemed almost parental advice. You know, the one where if you dont take care ofyour toys, you wont have them anymore? with his shades on. It was pretty easy to forget he was there until some funky bass line came through. He came more to life after the show, promising sexual favors to several female fans. Greg Hetson, guitarist, gets intensely into his music, even during a nice little lyricless waltz they played during a lapse in action. He gets this dazed look in his eyes and focuses intently on individuals in the crowd. This could be because ofhis contact lenses, however, which cant be too comfortable in such conditions that is, hot, smoke, and people landing on him. He does this little jig when he gets into more exciting riffs like in Mrs. Jones and Making the Bomb. Other songs they played were All Wound Up, Junk Mail, Killing for Jesus, and Just Want Some Skink. They also performed an encore number to appease the screaming masses, He told Salt Lake that since the Speedway is closing down, special regard must be taken in future clubs of similar ilk so that bands like us can stop there. He reminds me of my older brother. My brotherlectures, too, and theyre even the same age. My d brother, however, wears The and is thought of him balding. glasses jumping around on stage in jams and a Motorhead tee shirt is not appealing, to say horn-rimme- the least. The entire band with the exception of bass player, Zander Schloss (who by the way is the real Snake from that terribly sad song on Wonderful), is absolutely wired on stage. Zander mostly just stood there Pop Singer Maureen McGovern to Perform With the Utah Symphony The Utah Symphonys Entertainment Series opens on the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29 when Maureen McGovern will bring her award-winnin- g voice to Symphony Hall.
