AmericanRadioHistory.Com McLauchlan at The Line THE C BAST By SAMUEL GRAHAM and SAM SUTHERLAND FLORA AND FAUNA: By now, the notion of a group having both a drummer and separate percussionist is old hat. The percussionist, as he sits behind an arsenal including everything from the usual congas and timbales to an array of flower pots, jingle bells and curiously shaped gourds which must be stroked with sticks of various sizes,is often the most outrageous -looking in the group-we offer as examples Noel Crombie of Split Enz (those fellows are all pretty peculiar, but Crombie even more so) and a beefy guy who percusses for Fandango, a new RCA group, and who looks like a refugee from the cover of Easyriders magazine-but just as often his musical con- tribution consists of a lot more than random beating and squawking. Murray McLauchlan (True North) was greeted backstage at the Bottom Line recently One of the musicians most responsible for the percussion boom by friends and executives of RSO/Island, True North's American distributor. Shown -Santana notwithstanding-is Airto Moreira, who first came to (front row, from left) are Mike Rose, Cleveland rep, RSO/Island and John Belliveau, the fore in the U.S. 8 or 10 years ago when he played with Miles RSO/Isfand New York; and (back row) Island president Charlie Nuccio, Fred Mancuso, Davis (the classic "Bitches Brew" set) and Weather Report.

Keep an ear out for these people. Along with fellow Brazilians Milton Nascimiento, Antonio Carlos Jobim and many others, they're making music that's vital and exhilarating-Airto calls it "happy music, but not silly." IT'S ONLY WORDS: Sure, we know. You rarely,if ever, bother to listen to song lyrics anymore. You figure they're all June -moon -spoon retreads and endless "Ilove you, baby's," save for an occasional Springsteen or Browne or Newman. But hold on: we've found a couple of new records with lyrics that merit some real attention. INGREDIENTS Take , f'rinstance.These guys-Stephen Soles, T -Bone Burnett and -can not only play and sing ARIVICIALALLNATIOXL up a storm, they're writing some of the most intriguing lyrics around. NOTHING In their new "Spark In the Dark" album, they manage to finesse such rhymes as "valuable" and "malleable," lines like "Your truth's reduced

to an organ of technology . . . to nefarious hypocrisy" (the latter from Burnett's titletune, subtitled "On the Moody Existentialist") and descriptions including "sharks in the air" and "cossack children of the bourgeoisie." And that's only the beginning: the album's tour de force is "Silver Mantis," an elaborate Oriental vignette detail- ing the unrequited love affair of Sashiko (who was "carriedina hammock draped and veiled") and Seito (who "happened on the scene of her abduction" and "sent her captors to their graves"). Weighty stuff, that. On the lighter side we have those wacky Mael brothers, Ron and Russell, better known as Sparks. On their new one, "Introducing Sparks," they include a paean to "Ladies" in which they're able to lump together (as it were) the likes of Sara Lee, Princess Grace, Mar- garet Mead, Lois Lane, Eva Braun and Betty Crocker, but the tune we're really partial to is "Occupation." A couple of sample verses: "We cowboys are a hearty breed/We eat our beans and tumble- weed/We're good on horses, good with guns/We smell, but so does everyone," or how about "We athletes run around and round/We moan and groan and hit the ground/And when we get to 35/We sell cosmetics and survive." And when in one line they can men- tion beri-beri, menopause and hallitosis, we know these boys are on to something. KEEPING A HEALTHY INDUSTRY -HEALTHIER. Humor and intellect are swell, to be sure, but there's one tune that has risen above all others to become, in our minds at least, a strong candidate for the Nobel Prizeinliterature.

AmericanRadioHistory.Com Parachute Signs Vision New Y rk, N.Y. By DAVID McGEE and BARRY TAYLOR 11 MOWING 'EM DOWN DEPT: What was bound to happen sooner or later has finally come to pass. On September 9, the members of Aerosmith were returning for an encore at the Philadelphia Spectrum when an explosive thrown from the audience went off inches from the group. Lead singer Steven Tyler received burns of the cornea of his left eye, and lead guitarist Joe Perry received a severe laceration of his left hand. Drummer Joey Kramer, bassist Tom Hamilton and gui- tarist Brad Whitford were not injured. Tyler and Perry were treated at a local hospital and released. A Monday evening Aerosmith perform- ance at the Spectrum was cancelled, as were the group's remaining dates in October. Last Monday the Commodores were in concert at Madison Square Garden. Sources (ours were a local radio station and the New York Parachute Records president Russ Regan has announced the signing of the San Diego Times) reported that anywhere from 150 to nearly a thousand black group Vision tohis new label, distributed by Casablanca Record and FilmWorks. youths went on a rampage after the show.

TWILLEY DON'T MIND: The Dwight Twilley Band made itsfirst major N.Y. club appearance last week at the Bottom Line and dipped into their repertoire for both old and new material which clearly pleased the partisan audience. Phil Seymour (drums) and Dwight r Twilley (piano, guitar) are accompanied by an extremely fluent gui- tarist and bass player who were not identified but capably filled the gaps in the four man line-up. Some of the performances may have been a bit ragged compared to the studio workings of the songs, INGRES/arcs but the material proved strong enough even without the meticulous studio flourishes. As long as Twilley and Seymour can continue to pen songs like "I'm On Fire," "You Were So Warm," "Trying To Find PSIVCIAL./141..NANCIA. My Baby" and "Looking For the Magic," the transition from what has NO-MING basically been a studio band to a touring outfit will be made that much easier. HYPE:It seems like a long time since a&r talk has centered so thoroughly on just one group but the past few weeks have been filled with rumors, conjectures and opinions on the group Fotomaker. Happily, their first live performance at Friends Again and the rapidly circulating demo tape more than justify the time spent. the allnatural ice cream Three of the band members (Dino Danelli, and Wally Bryson) already have somewhat cultish followings because of past associations (The Young Rascals and Raspberries, respectively) and fantasiesof such acollectionare obvious. However, newcomers Lex Marchesi and Frankie Vinci add the right blend of energy and innocence to make Fotomaker as exciting as they are familiar. The ten song demo tapes holds atleast two sure shot singles, "Where Have You Been All My Life" and "Two Can Make It Work." Danelli's flamboyant drum work and Bryson's Townshend-esque gui- tar style plays well against the high sweet singing styles of Marchesi ONE PINT and Vinci's vocals while Cornish's harmony and stage presence adds the same kind of stability he did for . As usual the word is "a number of majors are interested" but it looks like one of two major majors will sign them. WHADDAYA MEAN ANOTHER ELVIS COSTELLO STORY? GIVE US A BREAK, WILLYA?

That's why people like Todd Rundgren, James Taylor, 119 Garland Jeffreys, Bette Midler, Bonnie Raitt, Ringo Starr, Paul Anka and Melissa Manchester, just to name a few, all asked Rosie to per- form on their albums, or live in concert. Now, after receiving the critical Produced and arranged by Michael Kamen acclaim they've always deserved, for Mother Fortune Rosie is stepping out of the back- ground and into the limelight with their touching new album. "Last Dance," the emotion filled album that's taking Rosie where they've always wanted to go...the top.

Ilet a dozen producers walk into this office and play RW: Talk about TV and overexposure-at one point, Helen was me a song. I called Kim Fowley and let him know I would like to on the "Midnight Special" virtually every week. That seems to have hear from him, what his ideas were, and of all the guys who walked changed now. into my office, he had the most material that I liked. Wald: Well, we weren't on every week. What I've found is two Kim had ideas, Kim was different, Kim was stimulating. And I things, andit'sinteresting psychology: One, in seven years Helen never worried about their relationship, because Helen has a sense Reddy does no prime time TV-there's one Carol Burnett a year and of humor and so does Kim.

We've always picked the 10 songs before we've gone into the studio, worked on all ten of them, down When the "Midnight Special" came tous, I was interested for three reasons: One, we kept our identification with contemporaryperfect, and then recorded them. But it wound up on this album music-we were with people we wanted to be within terms of that five of the songs were written in the studio. Helen has always other artists, and Helen can be the MOR element that made the FM had a writer's block, but this time she wrote, or co -wrote, five songs. Kim loosened her right up in the studio, and he let her take chances. stuff more palatable to television. I always regarded her like that on record-she was the first one to interpret and sing "A Song For RW: Well,it was obviously successful from Fowley's viewpoint.

Helen recorded them. I always felt that on TV, too, she's the catalyst Wald: Why not? One of the things that I've always disliked about to making TV expand its horizons in terms of the kind of performers the music business, and the trades are a great perpetrator of this, too, you are going to bring on television. With the "Midnight Special" is all this delineation of bags.

And Iget very involved with the promotion of my artists' records. RW: Iunderstand that. Isn't that fairly unusual? Wald: It's called survival. Again, that to me is why Helen Reddy is consistent for 8 years. Look at Roberta Flack. You can name a lot of other women who started when Helen did, in 1970-71, and where are they now? Where's Maureen McGovern's second hit,let alone 12 in a row? Where's Maria Muldaur's second hit, or Mary Mac- gregor's? Everybody thinksit'seasy.It'snot;it'svery, very hard work. Helen did "You're My World" on the "Tonight Show" five times. RW: As you said yourself, she's well established. That doesn't take any of the pressure off? Wald: No, it increases the pressure, because you want to stay on top.

Butthat doesn't mean Idon't think it's bullshit. and that's one of my main gripes in the music business. What right Listen, the year Helen won a Grammy, every album had a sticker that has Robert Hilburn (L.A.

But Helen has been given an appointment-she's been to think she did the right thing, not with the ketchup commercial appointed to the State Parks and Recreation Commission, and she's but with the song from the picture.

We feel that there is an obligation to do some- doing a commercial, or any of her songs used for one, and she still thing in return for the rewards, you know.
