Abby if people would shut off the water while brushing their teeth think of all the water we could save — J TYREE HUNTINGTON BEACH DEAR J TYREE: You gave us something to think about It’s said “You never miss the water till the well runs dry” Why wait until then? Readers it’s worth a shot right? DEAR ABBY: I don’t know whether you can use this in your column or not but I hope you can because it could help a lot of people who are as ignorant as we were I had never read the instructions that came with condoms because I figured that was my husband’s department so consequently I was not aware that one lushould never use an bricant Well we found out the hard way that using Vaseline baby oil or cold cream with a condom can cause it to break! We have been married for 12 years and this will be our third child so it’s no big deal but please publicize this very important information so other people will not have the kind of accident we had I’m signing my real name but if you print this sign me PREGNANT oil-bas- ed IN ALABAMA DEAR PREGNANT: Thank you for wanting to warn others Read- ers for the best protection ask your pharmacist for a lubricant This containing nonoxynol-- 9 kills both sperm and the AIDS virus according to Dr Merv verman Sil- the president of the American Foundation for AIDS Research First of three youth concerts Saturday in Symphony Hall SALT LAKE CITY — The first of three youth concerts by the Utah Symphony will be Saturday in Symphony Hall Programs are at 10 am and 11:30 am in the hall 123 W South Temple Conducted by Christopher Wilkins the concerts will celebrate Russian and American culture Guest artists include the Brigham Young University folk dancers and storyteller Connie Crayk The dancers will perform native American and Russian folk dances such as the Hopak and Previt in colorful costumes depicting the different cultures Crayk will tell a Russian fairy tale to the orchestral accompani- ment of Rimsky-Korsakov- ’s “Scheherezadc" Musical highlights of the program include Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” and a new arrangement of an Appalachian clog dance written by Utah composer Tulley Cathey The next youth concert will be Feb 25 when the Children’s Museum of Utah joins the orchestra for a musical treasure hunt with mime and magic For the final April 15 concert Dance Company and the Utah Symphony will create a visual performance with lively music and innovative movement Singles tickets are $2 for children (no babes in arms please) and $4 for adults Season tickets are $5 for children $10 for adults and $29 for families Rine-Woodbu- ry Album blows away all misconceptions about U2 There is really no need to go into the history of U2 in order to review this the new double album “Rattle And Hum” The members are already in one of the world's most popular bands and in some circles they are more than that Some consider them alnever smiling most forms of deity that never play anything but “serious" rock ’n roll too-serio- us this album should blow away all those misconceptions because not only is this the most human record U2 has ever recorded it's also the hardest rocking “Here’s a song Charles Manson' stole from The Beatles We’re gonna steal it back” says Bono to an adoring live crowd at Denver’s McNichoIs Arena before the band launches savagely into Lennon and McCartney’s “Hclter Skelter" The song sets the tone for the album not pretty but plenty powerful And U2 is probably the only band that could reclaim this one of The Beatles’ best rockers Well The current single “Desire" is and rousing rocker a that pays homage to Bo Diddley’s immortal rhythm via The Edge’s slashing guitar Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr’s rumbling rhythm section and Bono's growl- rip-roari- On Record Rick Marsh MjS cdimmsl ‘Rattle And Hum’ U2 ing vocals stalking every dynamic that explodes from the ferocious fireworks The album successfully alternates between live and studio cuts and the next live number is a cover of Bob Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtowcr” to which Bono adds a lync of his own: “All I’ve got is a red guitar Three chords and the truth All I’ve got is a red guitar The rest is up to you" Those of you who became burned out listening to “I Still Haven't Found What I’m Looking For" will find a rejuvenated live version here that makes the original pale in comparison (not an easy feat considering the integrity of that classic) The guest vocals by New Voices Of Freedom on the newly added bridge and especially the solos by George Pendergrass and Dorothy Terrell make this quest for spiritual deliverance a more joyous journey The first three songs on side WW- three were recorded at Memphis’ famous Sun Studio (where Elvis Presley laid down his first tracks) and that studio’s unmistakeable ambience lends itself to the three most uncharacteristic songs U2 have ever recorded - “Angel Of Harlem” is a tribute to American jazz and Billie Holiday in particular The Memphis Homs add plenty of pomp and strut to Bono’s John Lennon-lik- e vocal and show that there’s no style this band can’t handle The band flirts with country and western on the bluesy “Love Rescue Me” a song by Bob Dylan on which he also lends backing vocals The spare arrangement lets the lyrics cast their spell without any deadly ballistics and it works incredibly well for the band and listener en “When Love Comes To Town” of a song that features BB King on vocals and guitar It’s great to hear King’s inimitable sting up against The Edge's stylistic ring John Lennon's biographer is lambasted on “God Part II" “I don't believe m Goldman his type like a curse Instant karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first" howls Bono as Larry Mullen Jr’s drums crackle and is a pounding killer ed Fii photo The Irish rock group U2 accepts the Gram- Tree' album Their new album 'Rattle and won Hum’ should blow you away for this the ‘Joshua year my they explode over the top of the cut's don't have to be a theologian or and let one of the world’s best crunching cacophony At last a U2 album that you political science major to under- stand Just put it on turn it up rock ’n’ roll bands blow you away |
