I've found that over the years people Another thing we're doing is expanding our concert guide section. We're probably the only have a tendency to lock into an era. For example, if you're a person publication with a fairly comprehensive listing of the '60s you might have locked into the Airplane, or the Starship of concerts across the country. We're going to expand that by setting up regional offices now, or the Dead or the Stones, and stayed in that mold. But as and getting input from the promoters and getting this we approach the '80s we have groups like Rush. Each era produces information into our office with a very late close at the printer-as a a whole crop of new people and if the editor or the rock and roll weekly we can get a very late close-so that the information we have is fuller aficionado just locks into an era he's going to miss a lot of groups and more accurate. We'll also cover rock on radio a like Queen and Rush and Van Halen and Ted Nugent and Aerosmith, and TV with comprehensive list of who's appearing on what show and when. or whoever comes along. So I've fortunately been able to not be a person who gets locked in; I've always tried to keep an open mind about music and realize that although one's particular tastes might not be for the artists who are popular at a particular time, still they are legitimate artists who are saying something to their audience, What we have accomplished to some and they should be covered in a music magazine. extent is a total change in rock writ- 99 RW: What interests you in music at this point? ing. Rothberg: To be totally honest I prefer classical music. I like to listen to rock and roll and I keep aware of what's going on because it's my livelihood. But I've never been a jazz buff, or been particularly interested in r&b, folk or any of the so-called "heavy" forms of music. RW: But isn't it a gamble to go weekly at this point in time, strictly from the standpoint of survival?

THOMPSON TALKS-We were heartened enough when we got news Richard and Linda Thompson had completed their first album in nearly three years (RW, Sept. 9) that we didn't overplay our hand with bold predictions, although co -producer John Wood and manager Joe Lustig had both talked of the prospect of a British tour, as well as hopes for more rapid commercial acceptance in the Thompsons' native England. Now there's even more encouraging evidence. The new single cover of Richard's "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight" by Julie Covington is apparently gaining new friends for Thompson's extra- ordinary songwriting; meanwhile, the Thompsons' own "First Light" album (on Chrysalis) is already generating the usual round of raves there.

Both of these hits and much more funky Keith Barrow magic can be found on his new album "Physical Attraction:' It displays Keith's astounding talents as a singer and songwriter, and it's sure to spread Keith's attraction from your eyes to your ears in seconds flat.
