Show Homdmj. March 1996 The Daily Utah Cfcroaicte - 7 Melville Takes Back Past Rippings of Former Loves "T" Ma Issue 1. The Beatles. While this Beademaniac still thinks the inaugural "reunion" song, '"Free as a Bird," is more sucky than fab, my take on the reunion itself has totally reversed with the release of die second "new" CD single, "Real Love." It is just too fiippin Melville 1. I Cube They say you only hurt the ones you love, and I suppose it's true. That's only because if you didn't love and respect someone or something, you wouldn't be all that bothered when they let you down. Recent comments have intimated that perhaps the judgments in this column regarding the Beadc reunion, the "new" Kcrmit the Frog and The Right Honorable Lady Margaret Thatcher at Dan's Foods were a tad hasty. Gee, some were thinking, which undeniably cool person or dung is he going to be slamming next? Charo? The KISS reunion? Senor Wences (is he still alive?)? Perhaps they're correct. As a gesture of goodwill, this column will attempt to set a few of these issues right great for words. "It's reeeeceeeeeeal!" Buy it, los e k. Go now. Really. I don't sec you moving yet. I'm serious. John Lennon sings lead all the way through and the song will live inside your head forevcrmorc. If the Threetks had only released this one first. Issue 2: Muppet MisccHania. I'm still squeamish about the replacement voices for the late Jun Henson, as well as for the late fellow who voiced Dr. Bunscn Honeydew, Beaker, Waldorf and several others, but the new TV show "Muppets Tonight" proved that perhaps I've been too harsh on the little felt guys. The new show, a retooled "Muppet Show" featuring the host new red drcadlock-sportinis hoot! a Clifford, From the melting dancing cheeses to the Koosbanian Dance number to which now stands Gonzo's TGIF mega-smoot- - for Thank Goodness Fm Freaky" the Muppets prove they can still freak out with the best of 'cm. The new voices do bug, though. It's a little jolting to be enjoying the new characters of the show, then suddenly have Stader and Waldorf pop on, and it's not rectify them. Oops. Slipping into slam mode again. Sorry. Old habits die hard with a vengeance. Issue 3: World Leaders at Grocery and Department Stores. I've done a turn on this topic I previously commented that k 180-degr- was a bk of a degrading embarrassment to see someone who ran armies, wars and other assorted world crises wandering down the chips and salsa aisle. I was so wrong. You know, at least Lady Thatdier knows what k's like to be in a store. Can we say the same for Our leaders? Not recendy. Anybody remember diat footage of George Bush, in the middle of his presidency, visiting a grocery store with absolute amazement? He'd never seen a laser scanner before. 'You mean you just socio-economi- c box over that thing and k tells the price? Golly you In a similar vein, former Republican presidential candidate Lamar Alexander was utterly stumped when someone asked him how much a gallon of milk costs. lie was caught on tape sending out a campaign lackey to get him an answer and FAST. So I recant World leaders in situations are a good and cool thing. I wonder if anyone took Margaret bowling...
