BY LEE PROCIDA Entertainment Editor The sidewalks of Main Street are cold Tuesday night, and a purple and pink neon sign illuminates the front window of Bert's Music. The store closed before 7 p.m., earlier than normal, but that's because tonight is anything but ordinary. Inside, people bustle around, getting ready for the frrst concert the store has held since it opened 12 years ago. The headliner's a true legend. Calvin Johnson may not be a household name, but he likes it that way. His red, collared shirt is tucked into relaxed-fit jeans that stretch to black wing-tip shoes. At 43, he could easily pass for an onlooker's dad, but the young people around him admire what he does. Most people are unaware of his influence, but pop­ ularity isn't Johnson's mission. To fully appreciate Johnson's impact on the music industry, one must look to the legacy ofK Records, which he founded in 1982 in Olympia, Wash. Beck recorded more than 60 songs there. Modest Mouse recorded its frrst album there and Kurt Cobain had the label's logo tattooed on his arm. Johnson's own musical projects have been marginally suc­ cessful (his best-known work was with a group called Beat Happening), but he is currently on tour promoting his latest solo album, "Before the Dream Faded." "I thought it was a practical joke," Sean Connolly, president of Take the Mic, the student group that organized the show, says of Johnson's request to play in Newark. Connolly says Johnson has firmly established himself as an underground icon. "That's the appeal of him, especially because he maintains that independent culture," he says. The posters on the walls at Bert's represent an interesting amalgam of musical tastes and reflect the eccentricity of the photo courtesy of Bert's Music artists performing tonight. The CD racks are pushed to the sides Bert's on Main Street hosted its first in-store concert featuring musician Calvin Johnson. and the speakers and equipment are set up in the back.
