That he wasn't into fads or hype or tny of the other jive that abounds in the music ,iz. You would never near Waylon use the word outlaw" to describe his music or lifestyle, for ie knew that it was just another euphenism onceived in shame in some record company irOIUO man o jxk.tl unite, I mean we loved this man and his music. We'd show ud at noon to save seats for our friends for a 9 O'clock show, like Kenny and Neil and Buck and Christy did at the old Mr. Lucky CLub about six years ago. We'd charter a rounle of buses, fill them with beer and com- maraderie, and under the guiding hands of Bill and Phil, point them down Parley's toward the Salt Palace. Why, we even went to see our hero when Vasser Clements and Tom Waits were waxing creatively elsewhere in town the same night. And how are we thanked for our perennial ; loyalty? With a collective slap at our id, ego, iand auditory nerve, that's how! Friday past, iMarch 23 (December 7th will never be quite as ; infamous as before) RCA records released the 'new Waylon Jennings album, the long awaited i, a- in'..-, ai n n tj i0110W-up lO i vc rtiwaya Dtxu ,iXLy . iu jbeen told by a friend in the label's Denver office ;to expect "something a little different" from Waylon this time around, but the warning was ifar from enough to prepare me for what :: greeted me once I had, in a controlled frenzy, 1. ripped apart the just arrived album box. I It was Waylon all right. But I had to call upon I a half-dozen years of being intermittently in his " presence in order to be absolutely sure. The ? hair-do must have been influenced by the ton-: ton-: sorial splendor of boxing promoter Don King with a touch of David Bowie thrown in.

Not being able to locate any production credits for the National Lampoon on the : backside, and still yearning for some ex planation for the "New Waylon", I slipped the see-through pink vynal onto the turntable. What came out of the speakers (mostly the tweeters) could only be described as gay-punk-disco. The first cut was a cover version of Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Ban's "Boogie Till Ya Puke", but the rhythm had been changed to a snap-funk R & B disco beat and the vocal utilized that old tried-and-true Bee Gees After struggling through both sides and relegating the album frisbee style toward the other dung across the street in the rodeo grounds, groun-ds, I put on some vintage Waylon and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to keep my tears from bruising the Jack Daniels, and praying that Haggard and Willie had never seen Saturday Satur-day Night Fever. franchise opportunity n (fesaa mainstreet, Park City.. .get ready for the innovative delicatessen, restaurant and bagel bakery opening soon at 592 main st. for information on this location an and other franchise opportunities call, bagel nosh intermountain ltd,' 801-364-6674.
