Taj Mahal, stylist and scholar to play at Cowboy Bar Taj Mahal, wrote "The Rolling Stone",is one of the few singers "you can actual ly hear smiling." He is also renowned as a conscientious archeologist of pop music. Whether it be African, Af-rican, Caribbean calypso, or American folk, he has researched re-searched it, combined it, and presented it to an audience with his husky growl, playing play-ing away on an amazing variety var-iety of instruments. Taj Mahal will appear at the Cowboy Bar on Friday, June 11. The musician said he's found "so much information infor-mation and music with people whose family (musical) (mus-ical) traditions go back 4,000 generations that I can't even begin describing the experience." exper-ience." ... Taj Mahal was born in New England into a rich musical, heritage.; His father Best and worst movies to play at S.L. Media Center Once again, it's time to look at the film heights and depths, as the Salt Lake Media Center presents the "Best and Worst Festival" during the month of June. A different double feature will play each week, on Saturday and Sunday nights. The Best films will be at 7:30 p.m. and the Worst at 9:30 p.m. The theme on June 5 and 6 is the Best and Worst of Movie Beasts. It begins with that cinematic rose, Jean Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast." In this French film the Beast was such a terrible yet poetic creature, that some audiences were disappointed disap-pointed when he changed at the end to a candyapple-handsome candyapple-handsome prince. The bad film in this category is "The Beast With Five Fingers", a 1946 schlocker wherein the disembodied dis-embodied hand of a dead pianist continues to jump around on the keyboard, while Finest Reurant Opening for Lunch June 15 Taj Mahal was a west Indian jazz arranger and pianist who had an archival collection of jazz, blues, and big-band records. His mother had been a gospel singer, but she hoped Taj would turn to classical music. "She was a pretty sophisticated lady," Mahal told a reporter, "and she wasn't too interested in me howlin' the blues. So I had to go underground." For all his devotion to music, he knew he should have something to fall back on, so he studied agriculture through high school and college, and worked summers sum-mers on a farm. By the time he left for the University of Massachusetts, (where he got his degree in Animal Husbandry) he had amassed a house trailer, a pickup truck, and $4,000 in his bank account...,. ;.i:;.:isfs Peter Lorre sweats and goes through several stages of hysteria. An added bonus is the presence of Robert (father of Hawkeye) Alda. June 12 and 13 focuses on transvestite films. The Best in this area is surely "Some Like It Hot", the Billy Wilder hit about two musicians (Tony curtis and Jack Lemmon) who accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and dress in drag to escape gangland retribution from George Raft. Curtis also poses as a playboy, with Cary Grant accent, to romance Marilyn Monroe, while Lemmon, still in a dress, is pursued by Joe E. Brown. The Worst transvestite film is one of the legendary turkeys of all time. "Glen or Glends" otherwise known as "I Changed My Sex" was made by the same man who gave us the execrable "Plan 9' From Outer Space." While the sordid story of Glen is College, however, also left time for him to step into the Boston folk-music scene. While promoting hootenan-nys, hootenan-nys, he met people like Dave Van Ronk, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, and Elizabeth Cotten. In 1965, he moved on to Los Angeles, and the popular Ashgrove Club. At first, he was the jack of all trades there doorman, chief cook and bottle-washer, announcer, announ-cer, light man, etc. But he also got to play, along with folks like Lightnin' Hopkins, Jessie Fuller, and Ry Cooder. He began to record albums for Columbia and Warner Brothers. And he found he had acquired an audience from among the best pop musicians of the day. Taj recalled one concert of the late '60s where he looked down and saw Mick Jagger, Erie Burdon, Keith Richard, told, we get symbolic shots of stampeding buffalo herds, and pseudo-mystical narration narra-tion from Bela Lugosi ("Be-vare! ("Be-vare! Bevare of the big green dragon who sits on your doorstep!") Humphrey Bogart is the star on June 19 and 20. and how better to start than with "Casablanca". There isn't much fresh to say about Bogie, the saloon owner in Nazi-occupied Morocco, denying his patriotism and love for Ingrid Bergman to the strains of "As Time Goes By." Everyone knows that eventually he decides to help Ingrid's husband, the Resistance Resist-ance leader, because "the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world." Speaking of things that don't amount to a hill of beans. . . How about the co-feature, "Swing Your Lady", which Bogart named as his worst film? Bogie plays the manager of a Greek wrestler Joe Skopap-oulos Skopap-oulos who is traveling in the country when he discovers a hulking lady blacksmith named Sadie (Louise Don't be caught unprepared and Eric Clapton on the dance floor moving to his music. He also became visible to mainstream audiences aud-iences for his score for the movie "Sounder" where he also appeared as the rural musician Ike. Taj Mahal is content to play solo, or with his six-piece band, and doesn't entertain glossy dreams of success. "I don't care about parading around in front of cameras and sitting on the hood of a new Rolls Royce. I just love to play music. . ." He tells beginning musicians, music-ians, "Try to make contact with the people in the audience and let them know even if they're chompin' down on a hunk of steak that you just want them to have a good time." Advance tickets are-$8 (available at the Cowboy Bar) and $10 at the door. Fazenda). His plans to promote a match between the two are derailed when they fall in love. Rocky III this ain't. The last pair, on June 26 and 27, concentrates on Defrosted Monsters, and begins with an all-time classic. "The Thing" is a tense, fast-paced story of men in a military base fighting a blood-sucking vegetable veg-etable form from Mars. James Arrets plays the giant carrot. You'll also have a chance to compare the film to the new version scheduled to be released that weekend. It's unlikely any new "Thing" could approach the glorious badness of "Son of the Blob", our second defrosted de-frosted monster. The film features Shelley Berman, Burgess Meredith, and Godfrey God-frey Cambridge, and was directed by none other then Larry (J.R.) Hagman. The films cost $2 separately separate-ly and $3 for a double feature. The Media Center is located at 20 South West Temple. Visitors should enter en-ter through the southwest doors. JUDY M.
