“God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you, H eputit In the soul of everyone.” Existentialists may argue with the rock group Argent on this count. Who is to say that our toe-tapping nature is attributable to some composer-in-the-sky divinity0 God may not have put the music into us, but there can be no denying that we put God into our music. Our lead story this week takes a look at the Almighty’s presence and in fluence in the tunes of our history: from Gregorian chants to Bob Dylan’s Slow Train Coming. In this issue, we’ll also focus on the less perfect, more human aspects of music found in-our Santa Barbara community. A.S. Concerts, for example, has beome a promising, young organization since becoming entirely student run two years. W ell see how close they are to realizing their promises. Our classical music critic takes a gander at the opening concert of the Santa Barbara Symphony’s 1979-80 symphony, while closer to home, our con temporary rock man evaluates the burgeoning new wave scene in the area. And finally, in a personal feature, we’ve interviewed one of the last hold overs of the 60’s music scene, Jerry DeWitt of KTYD’s 60’s Revisited program. We join in the spirit of the venerable rock and rollers, the Grateful Dead, and dedicate this issue: “Let there be songs to fill the air. ”

First, playing original music allows the band to be more creative, and secondly, if they are going to do someone else’s song they must, “adapt it to the band successfully or play it note for note.” Eisenberg and bass guitarist Joe Mock write all the music but the whole band does the arranging. “Everyone works out their part,” explained drummer Marc Membreno. The members really enjoy playing in a band. “It’s fun,” said Eisenberg, “And,” added Mock, “we meet the greatest people and Upper Limits have made some fantastic friends.” They also like “meeting all the women.” When the band plays, they feel like they are “sitting in the living room and ..b ig , really partying.” Membreno enjoys performing because, “the stage is the only sanctuary.” The band is .not necessarily attempting to make a statement, but rather, as Guitarist Mark Gartland said, “a com Dig, fa ll sale munication.” “Our music comes from opinions and perceptions that we have gotten,” explained STORE HOURS Eisenberg. “We play back to basics rock” in order to “create .

(ZNS) The TV program “Mork and Mindy” is reported to be having trouble with the censors at ABC-this time because the producers have written a show with a distinct anti-nuclear power message. The San Fransisco Examiner quotes “Mork and Mindy” producer Garry Marshall as saying that network executives are pressuring the situation comedy to tone down its anti-nuclear stand. Marshall says of the anti-nuke script: “Naturally, we’ll be at tacking certain sources -mostly the government. I guess the net work thinks it has an obligation to protect the president of the United States from Mork.” Marshall says that the “Mork and Mindy” show has had many REWARDS other run-ins with network censors in the past.
