Radio Action Radio Action WMMS, CLEVELAND, OH M.D.-KID LEO: "We had some semblance of success with Duran Duran and, in fact, the entire New Romantic movement out of England last year. Duran was the cream of the crop. And while the movement may have been a passing fancy, there is substance to this band...On the Men At Work, I figured I might as well keep somebody working. Actually, I found myself humming 'Who Can It Be Now', so I figured it's about time we put it in...The Townshend Lp is a very, very personal album. I was somewhat taken back by the amount of talk songs; however, it's a very, very strong statement. And as Mr. Hard says, he is one of the few who can get away with being himself. I personally think I'm gonna enjoy the album immensely as time goes by...Not much to say about Genesis except it's going to be a monster...I want to thank Charlie Daniels for an enjoyable day. We spent the afternoon on the golf course. As far as the scores go, they were about as high as the Purple Plum we drank afterwards--and then that night he put on quite a show...Lots of audience interest in the David Johansen." wqxm, TAMPA/ST. PETERSBURG, FL M.D.-DICK BASCOM: "Not only has the new Survivor been burning up the phones, it's also been blowing out the stores' doors. It came in #1 in sales this week. Not bad for a third album. I guess three times a winner...Reaction to the Townshend import has been very favorable, and now that we have the album, I'm sure it'll pick up nicely. 'Stardom In Acton' is great adult rock and roll...I've never seen an audience react quite as fast or as positively as ours has to the new Zappa --and we don't even have any valleys in Florida. This is one to definitely run with for awhile... Alan Parsons Project continues their solid sales growth maintaining #5 in sales...We're playing the B Side of the Journey single, and I've got to say it's one of the most refreshing pieces I've ever heard Journey do...And speaking of B Sides, check out the flip side of REO Speedwagon's 45 called 'I'll Follow You'. It's from the upcoming album, and it's almost better than the A Side...Axe was in town last week, and I've really got to tip my hat to Bobby Barth. The man wields an axe better than many that I've seen of late, and he works the audience like a true pro. The band is going places." KDKB, PHOENIX, AZ M.D.-J.DAVID HOLMES: "Masterpiece. It's not a word I like to throw around to describe an album I simply enjoy a great deal, but I don't think it's stretching it all to say that Pete Townshend's 'Chinese Eyes' is a masterpiece. It's one of those records to cherish all our lives. I was listening to it for the first time and following along with the lyrics sheet, when I suddenly realized my eyes were moist. I still don't know if they were tears of joy or sorrow, maybe both. All I know is that I was crying and rocking out simultaneously. It's an extremely moving two sides-- Townshend will drain you and filT—iou up. There's no doubt about it, as far as I'm concerned, it's one of his best. We're starting with 'Face Dances', but my personal picks are: 'Sea Refuses No River' and 'Somebody Saved Me'...Steve Miller's 'Abracadabra' is beating out 'Valley Girl' for most requested song, believe it or not. I know what the consensus tracks are, but don't overlook: The Things I Told You' and the McCartney-ish ballad 'While I'm Waiting'. Hope Miller keeps coming up with the quality of this one...Glad we finally had room to add one of the finest and most distinctive voices in rock and roll--John Waite. The Babys were good, but with 'Ignition', John has a good shot at reaching that superstar plateau his old band coundn't. Looks like he's going to the top...We switched tracks on Toto this week to 'Africa', and it sounds fantastic on the air...One of the most under-rated groups of the 70's, lOcc, have released a fine new album. Does anyone else out there think this record is getting overlooked?...Thank God the Book is over, it's only three weeks till vacation time." WEBN, CINCINNATI, OH M.D.-CURT GARY: "'If You See Kay'--play her. It's a real entertaining song on the new April Wine Lp which Capitol bought from someone here in Cincinnati. We've been playing it for a few days now, and the response has been very encouraging...When you get the David Johansen's Animals Medley on the air, you realize that it really is Summertime. A lot of upper demos have immediate recognition and curiosity calls from our younger listeners.. .On first impressions, I wasn't knocked out by the Clocks. But over the radio, 'She Looks A Lot Like You' has real hit potential...Speaking of which, Alan Parsons Project's 'Fingers Burned' is growing on me day by day. It has a sound unlike any other on the radio right now, and I think that really makes it stand out...A very nice live album from Genesis. The quality is real good, and I'm sure we'll get a lot of live option play out of it, and I'm still working my way through the studio side...The John Waite. Phones are building as the Babys connection slowly but surely works its way into their minds...Glenñ—Fii called, and we want to thank him for that interview. You got that right, Glenn, Cincy is a partytown...I can't wait for the Eddie Money album. Ifthe single is any indication of what else is on that wax, we'll be playing this one for a long time to come...Fleetwood Mac is an out -of-the-box smash, there's no doubt, but it'll tend to slow the tempo down...The Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills & Nash were a tossup for which slow song would get added. Crosby, Stills & Nash lost, only because we've heard other songs on that record and know there are tunes more suitable for EBN. So bring it onIll Considering: Keeping a close eye on the Motels." KSRR, HOUSTON, TX P.D.-ALAN SNEED: "Texxas Jam was this past Saturday and Sunday in Dallas and Houston. We sent a pair of winners to Dallas, along with Catfish and Dayna Steel, to cover the Dallas show. We're the 'unofficial' station for the Houston Jam. We sold over 5,100 'unofficial' Texxas Jammer' T-shirts the week before the Jam and gave away 50,000 'unofficial' Jam patches the day of the show at the Astrodome. 'Unofficial' was definitely where it was at. The patches had a 97C discount coupon on the back, good for any album by any group playing at the Jam. The patches themselves were good at several area clubs after the show for free admission and a free beer...New music this week: Roxy Music, our personal favorite; Genesis; Pete Townshend; Clocks (which sounds like a great Summer- time record); David Johansen; old friends, Crosby, Stills & Nash; and, Eddie Money--both sides... Good sales moves this week: John Cougar goes #8, Rainbow to #10, Soft Cell takes a leap to #11, Heart to #12...Big mover: Alan Parsons Project 35-17." WLPX, MILWAUKEE, WI M.D.-BOBBIN BEAM: "I have to spew forth my adoration for the Billy Idol album. I've been turning people on to this record everywhere I go. They'll be riding in my car and they'll be captive. I don't usually get this excited about a record, but Billy's 'Love's Calling' is where Jim Morrison would be in 1982. I'm mesmerized.. .1 also have to mention the Pete Townshend record. Upon the second listen, I've fallen in love with this one (but it did take me two listens)...Both sides of the Eddie Money 12" are smashes. 'Think I'm In Love' is great and 'Shakin' is incredible... We're also looking into: Riot and Mayday...Rolling Stones are #1 out-of-the-box here in local sales. Sold a thousand copies first week on the street...The Genesis sounds great on the air--almost as good as they do in the studio... David Johansen does the Animals just as good as they do...We've upped Glenn Frey in rotation this week from light to medium...Getting lots of calls on: Steve Miller single... Survivor showing Top 4 debut sales and tons of calls for 'lye Of The Tiger'...We also added: The Crosby, Stills & Nash sTir-g-7. Good 18-34 record. We're also using it to warm up their upcoming concert...Big calls for: April Wine single." .

Western Michigan University, 1999 Committee Chair: Brock Clarke, Ph.D. The Big Baby Crime Spree and Other Delusions: Short Stories Darrin Doyle Dissertation Abstract My creative work focuses on the notion of belief – not religious belief, necessarily, but belief (mistaken or not) in our ability to control the circumstances that shape us: as Wallace Stevens wrote, “It is the belief and not the god that counts.” Thematically, my works feature the following characteristics: elements of the fantastic; dark humor; and working-class protagonists who seek to palliate some unnamable dissatisfaction in their lives and who seek this correction through obsessive behavior that might be either wonderfully healing or terribly misguided – the results are in the eye of the beholder. The tensions between the fantastic and the realistic, between blue-collar and academic concerns, between knowing and not-knowing, between what we internally perceive and the external truth – unresolved oppositions like these are what create the lasting effects of literature, and they are what I strive to cultivate in my writing.

  • Fter Decades Away from the Music Scene, Guitarist Wally Stocker Is
    fter decades away from the music scene, guitarist Wally Stocker is back on his feet again and back where he belongs, playing lead guitar with a new lineup in The Babys. From 1977 to ’80, the group amassed a string of radio-friendly hits including “Isn’t It Time,” “Every Time I Think of You,” “Head First,” “Back on My Feet Again,” and “Midnight Rendezvous.” A s lead guitarist, S t o c k e r provided the six- string muscle that powered those hits up the charts. Born March 27, 1953, in London, Stocker took up guitar at age nine. A passionate devotee of Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, he honed his chops in short-lived bands Joy and Pegasus. His break came in 1975, when he joined the fledgling The Babys, which included lead vocalist/bassist John Waite, keyboardist/ guitarist Michael Corby, and drummer Tony Brock. Signed to Chrysalis on the basis of a four-song video, the band released five albums – The Babys, Broken Heart, Head First, Union Jacks, and On the Edge – and toured with the likes of Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Journey, AC/ DC, and Rush. Wally Stocker The Babys disbanded in December, with a Les Paul 1980, and Stocker went to tour and re- goldtop in 2013. cord with Rod Stewart, Air Supply, and Humble Pie. In 2013, The Babys reunited with Stocker and Brock alongside new recruits lead singer/bassist John Bisaha and guitarist J.P. Cervoni. Last July, the band performed its first gig in almost 33 years. At age 60, Stocker’s playing is remark- ably rust-free – his trademark smoky slow-hand vibrato and chunky rhythm guitar colors proudly intact.

INFRINGEMENT; AND UMG RECORDINGS, INC., a (2) DECLARATORY RELIEF Delaware corporation, and DOES 1 through 10, DEMAND FOR TRIAL BY JURY Defendants. Plaintiffs JOHN WAITE, an individual (“Waite”), and JOE ELY (“Ely”), an individual, (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated authors of sound recordings (“sound recordings”) who have served Notices of Termination pursuant to §302 of the Copyright Act of 1976 upon Defendant UMG RECORDINGS, INC. (also known as “Universal Music Group and “UMG”) (hereinafter “UMG” or “Defendant”) and DOES 1-10 (collectively “Defendants”), allege as follows. NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. Since the first Copyright Act was enacted in 1790, that Act, and the several successive copyright statutes have always had a feature which allows a second chance for authors (or their heirs) to reclaim copyrights from unwise grants made by authors early on in their careers, close to the creation of the works. While the particular features of those laws, and the length of the terms and statutory scheme of the terminations involved, have changed and evolved, the strong “second chance” concept has remained. In fact, the very first act, the Copyright Act of 1790, borrowed that concept from the English Statute of Anne, enacted in 1709, the first copyright law. The theme continued in the Copyright Acts of 1831, 1870, and 1909.
