It's hard for me sometimes to remem­ I~ 8EfWEEtJ GMOVAL AN1>1HCHMINT'AI.? ber that there are still idiots out there who will refuse to hire . . someone based on his/her race. It's so far away from my reality thatitjustdoesn 'tmakesense. So naturally, being of the sort that doesn't admire legislation just for the sake oflegisla­ tion, I thought perhaps it was time to dismantle it. At least it made sense, as it was argued in the media. I was never to sure how I felt about racial districting. On the one hand, I could see how perhaps if there weren't a couple of districts drawn in order to insure a high percentage of minori­ ties, thatitmightnot be possible to elect a minority to congress. That just makes sense. But, on the other hand, there is a part of me that says if a minority can't be elected by the majority of constituents, then maybe it shouldn't happen. I don't know where to stand on that one. What is fair? And on the issue of hiring practices, any bigot who truly would rather die than hire a minority, could get around any affirmative action regulation by simply finding a good reason to hire someone else. I don't know where to stand on the idea of racial quotas. I find it hard to believe that there are companies that have to hire a less qualified applicant simply because they have quotas to fill. But then, I'm not a social statistician, either. Are there certain fields that are so unattractive to minorities that employ­ ers are forced to hire the dregs of the earth to fill quotas? More kind words for Jesse Helms If so, I don't think that's fair to the employer. If I were the one who watch-dogged the quotas, I would Consider, if you will, the fol­ own private vendettas than consider documentation of the qualifications on the applicants lowing situations: serving the needs of his con­ and the screening process, as showing a willing attempt 1.

Bauhaus, ceeded and matured as a solo artist. While his former bandmates and DavidJ. had fleeting success with Love & Rockets, Murphy has continued to write songs and produce music that pleases himself, not necessarily his record company or the mainstream audi­ ence. With all the changes alternative music has gone through in the past decade and the abundance of one hit/ one album wonders, Murphy has truly become one of the most respected artists on the scene. He has also had to endure a crossroads in his personal life. Fed up with the chronic everyday routine, .. Murphy dissolved his longtime backing band, The Hundred Men, at the end of his 1992 Holy Smoke tour. He and his family then moved from England to so he could lose himself and become more focused in life (quite a change from his attitude in Bauhaus).

courtesy/ ATLANTIC Peter Murphy performs with his new band tonight at The Edge with opening act Jewel. Now, after three years, Murphy resurfaces to tour with anew band in sup~rtofhis fifth solo release, Cascade. In Cascade, Murphy's lyrics definitely carry the album and reveal a lush world of imagery, symbolism and passionate emotions for listeners to experience. Though this album has more of a melodic "pop" feel to it than previous releases, Murphy still offers his audience some variety. His first single, "The Scarlet Thing In You," is delightfully simple, while the omi­ nous and foreboding "Disappearing" recalls his earlier days. "Sails Wave Goodbye" has an almost happy, fun sound, and the title track "Cascade" leads to an ambient landscape. The strong lyrics in every song make Cas­ cade an enjoyable, unified piece of work. Seeing this acclaimed performer live and the entourage of pale, Gothic "freaks" in the audience should make this concert a dark, yet enjoyable event. It will, however, be interesting to see how Murphy and his new band perform together ... we all have faith in you, almighty dark one. • • • • • Opening for Peter Murphy is a 20-year-old, Alas­ Come join us at the Orlando premiere of Universal Pictures' Waterworld. kan native called Jewel.
