Evangelistic Enterprises Inc., Roloff’s business, is under court order to cease operating the homes unless they are licensed, by Oct. 1. The Houston Chronicle’s Aus tin Bureau reports state Welfare officials as saying Roloff has made no effort to get a license, although licensing workers have made regular contact with him. The two homes are the Anchor Home for Boys near Zapata and the Rebekah Home for Girls near Corpus Christi. A third Roloff home in Texas, the Lighthouse on Padre Island, was permanently closed as a 24- hour child care center under a court order issued Aug. 3 by a Corpus Christi district judge. Roloff said most of the chil dren at the two homes still oper ating have been sent home. “Our girls are being scattered,” The Chronicle quoted Roloff as saying. “We’ve got some little girls 3,000 miles from home with no way to get back. You people in the news media and the wel fare department ought to start collecting money for them.” Roloff says it would be impos sible for him to meet licensing requirements. A new law passed in the leg islature this year requires the licensing of child care home op erators. Roloff said his two su perintendents could not meet the requirements “and I’d have to fire them after 15 years of good service.” Roloff’s main contention is that the state is unconstitutionally in- Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes By TED BORISKIE The new Rolling Stones’ album, “Goat’s Head Soup,” is out and is available at at least one area record store. There is not much to say about a new Stones album. They are, hands down, the No. 1 rock ’n’ roll group in the world and each album they release is preceded by months of press coverage tell ing the public that it is on its way. Now that it is here it will be put on special by countless de partment stores, it will become the best-selling album in the U.S., it will be given a bad re view in “Rolling Stone” and at least one other publication, an other publication will name it record of the year, Stone freaks will religiously listen to it for three or four months and then the world will wait once again for the next one. The Stones make fine albums. Their LPs are so good so con sistently it would seem that it would be impossible for them to make a bad album. So, needless to say, “Goat’s Head Soup” is a fine album. After listening constantly to this album for a day (about 6-8 listenings) I like this more than anything the Stones have done since “Beggars Banquet.” They have kept the horns pretty much in the background this time and deserve some sort of award for recording an album in Jamaica and resisting the temptation to put a reggae-flavored song on the disc. The Stones have kept pretty much the same personnel that have graced their last few rec ords. They have added Billy Pres ton on keyboards, Chuck Finley on trumpet and Rebop on per cussion but the rest are familiar faces; Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart on keyboards, Bobby Keyes on saxes, Jimmy Miller on percussion, etc. The album starts off with “Dancing with Mr. D.,” a fine little rocker that should become one of the most-played songs off this. Mick Taylor plays better everytime I hear him and his guitar on this is as good as any thing he’s done since joining the group in ’69. “100 Years Ago” follows with Jagger doing some vocals that . are head and shoulders above most of “Exile on Main Street.” The song has a sudden break that is almost scary. The Stones have ruined enough songs before by suddenly changing tempos so I winced when I first heard them try again. But this time they seemed to have managed it pret ty well. Hopkins plays an Elton John- ish intro on “Coming Down Again” but it more or less re mains an average Stones song, one that won’t become familiar to anyone but Stones fans. The fourth cut is a great song. It has nearly everything going for it, a good rocker with nice vocals, horns providing a good background for another fine lead by Taylor. However, it’s called “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heart- breaker).” It can never become a great recording to go down in to history with a name like that. Side one closes with “Angie.” With all the airplay it’s been getting, everyone should have already formed a definite opin ion on this one. It’s a ballad and I have never liked a Stones ballad. I don’t like this one. “Silver Train” opens the sec ond side, which some Johnny Win ter fans may already be familiar with, having appeared on his “Still Alive and Well.” This ver sion has a nice slide guitar but I haven’t determined if it’s Taylor or Kieth Richard who plays it. “Hide Your Love” features Jagger on piano. His keyboards are unimpressive but not totally embarrassing. I didn’t like the cut the first time I heard it but it sort of grows on you. It’s more or less a boogie piece and I guess the Stones boogie as well as anyone else. Nicky Harrison made “Angie” worse than it should have been with his strings. He strikes again on “Winter” but this cut manages to keep the strings from interfering too much. It still wouldn’t have hurt to leave them out. Bells and a flute open “Can You Hear the Music” but Char lie Watts wastes no time in establishing a real drive. Watts is one of the few solid rock drum mers who never become overbear ing. I guess you’d call him some thing like “dependable.” The last cut on the album is the best the Stones have done in a very long time. The once un printable title has been changed to “Star Star” but the original name is still prominent in the chorus. Keith Richard plays prob ably the best pure rock ’n’ roll guitar in the world and has been described as the “illigitimate son of Chuck Berry.” “Star Star” is unmistakenly Berryesque as was most of the Stones' early work. This is an out and out re turn to the past and, if not for the more straightforward lan guage, could easily fit in on any of the Stones’ first albums. This is destined to become a classic. That’s it: 10 songs, equaling 45 minutes and 48 seconds of more music from the guys who write their own introduction as “the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world.” It’s another Stones album. There’s not much else left to say. terfering with religion by requir ing his homes to be licensed. However, Randy Pendleton, welfare licensing director, was quoted by the Chronicle as say ing he would have “no choice” but to recommend to the attorney general that a contempt action be taken against Roloff should the homes operate after Oct. 1.
