News Analysis
Associated Press
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Perhaps the biggest achievement of
the first international tribunal on crimes against women was to
have Arab and Israeli women agree they have a common oppres
sor — man.
The tribunal ended here Monday after five days of delibera
tions.
The Arab and Israeli women were not official delegates from
their countries, simply women attending a feminist event.
The Arab women were from Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Syria,
all living outside their countries but strongly identified with the
Arab cause. They asked that their names not be used.
The Israelis were Joanne Yaron and Marcia Freedman, both
members of the Israeli Parliament.
Their understanding across one of the most hotly fought racial
and religious borders, however, marked a big breakthrough for
the 1,500 women from 30 countries who had met here — the
hope that women can change the world.
The Arab women stopped short of signing a joint statement.
But the statement from Israeli women announcing their agree
ment got a tremendous ovation from the crowd.
This was the first time, feminists claimed, that Arab anJ
Jewish women had sat together to talk about their common
liberation.
At all previous international women’s meetings, women had
divided along political, national or ideological lines, blaming
Socialist or capitalist regimes for their plight, not to mention
Arabs and Israelis who ignored each other’s.
For five days, crimes against women had been denouncedin
all countries, rich and poor, under all regimes, left and right,
ranging from religious, family, social and economic oppression
to beating, rape, torture and murder.
“As women, we understand that our oppression is by mend
not by opposing nationalities,” read the statement from Israeli
women, wildly cheered by participants to the closing session(i
the tribunal.
“The dialogue between Arab and Jewish women that has
begun at this tribunal shall continue within the frameworkof
international feminism, ” it said. “This tribunal is the first inter
national forum in which Israeli and Arab women have each
publicly condemned their own society for its oppression oa
women rather than condemning one another.”
The tribunal did not actually vote on the statement. Noneof
the other resolutions had been submitted to a formal vote either

Wilderness kept bangin’ on to T.
Flames from candle remnants flic
kered on small round tables and cast
their glow on Friday night listeners
at the -Basement Coffeehouse. On
stage, a tall, slim man of 25 smiled
from beneath his cowboy hat.
“Hi, buckaroos, it’s T. Gosney
time again!” he said as the audience
whooped and applauded.
Last Friday’s group was the T.
Gosney Thornton Band from Austin,
which drew one of the biggest Base
ment crowds this year according to
chairman Skip Bruner.
“At a very young and tender age
the cry of the wilderness grabbed
aholt of me — an’ it kept bangin’ on, ”
sang Thornton, known simply as “T. ”
Thornton’s voice has a full-bodied
country rasp that blends in harmony,
rises over rich instrumentals and car
ries itself through several country-
life ballads: “Green Pastures,’ “Back
Home and Busted Again. ” “Whiskey
River,” “Armadillo,” and his own
Hill Country single, “Dog House
Blues.”
“Dog House Blues” is a simple
tune about oilfield roughnecks.
“I was making $40a month playing
in San Angelo, so I worked in the oil
fields to supplement my income,”
Thornton said.
The air smelled of smoke and pop
corn, the crowd sipped their cokes
and Thornton danced on the
plywood stage to the band’s foot-
stomping country rock.
“I’m just a homespun Texan, and
that’s what I’m gonna stay, ” he sang.
The “T” in T. Gosney stands for
Texas.
Thornton plays lead guitar, banjo,
fiddle, kazoo, and the harmonica he
wears on a brace made from a coat
hanger. He is from Big Lake, Texas
and a former journalism student at
Angelo State University in San
Angelo. After playing the college cof
feehouse circuit in Washington,
D.C., Texas and San Francisco, he
came to Austin a year and a half ago.
Six months ago he formed the band.
Through numerous instrumentals
Thornton demonstrated the indi
vidual talents of his band members
and a style he calls “country jazz. ”
“I’m influenced by my musicians, ”
he said. “I’ve been touched by some
pretty polished people and I think it
kind of comes off. ”
The four-piece band consists of
Dan Hanson on the piano, Bruce
Radek on the drums, Gil Thomas on
steel guitar and John Holland on
bass.
Holland gave an effective rendi
tion of Waylon Jennings’ “Moving
On’’ while Hanson’s “You’re Six
teen” impressed the older members
of the audience.
As of Friday Hanson had been
with Thornton for seven months,
Radek for one and a half, Holland for
a week and Thomas for two days.
“Austin is like a huge band — at last
count there were 67 bands in the
city. There are about 365 musicians
and they all end up playing to
gether,” Thornton said. “But I love
the people here, they’re attentive

“Quality First”
In case you hadn’t heard yet,
“Frampton Comes Alive!” is
Peter Frampton’s new double
live album. If you like live al
bums and rock music, you’ll
probably like this one.
Besides Frampton on guitars
and vocals, the album features
Bob Mayo on guitar and
keyboards, Stanley Sheldon on
bass, and John Siomos on
drums.
Frampton was the lead
guitarist for Humble Pie, a loud
but not particularly skillful
British rock band that broke up
a few years ago. Upon leaving
the Pie, he recorded several
studio solo albums that went
unnoticed by many people. All
that has changed now — with
this album, Frampton has be
come a commercial as well as a
critical success. “Frampton
Comes Alive!” reached No. 2 on
the Billboard Magazine best
seller list.
Music Review
The first side begins with
“Something’s Happening,” one
of the most-played cuts on the
album. It’s a light rock ‘n’ roll
song with good electric guitar
licks by Frampton, whose play
ing has the not-too-common
combination of speed and
finesse. The side also includes
“Show Me The Way,” another
selection often heard on the
radio.
Side Two includes a couple of
acoustic guitar songs and dis
plays the softer side of
Frampton’s music. The only
drawback to the softer music is
that it is often spoiled by the
noise of a rowdy crowd. It is too
bad this album wasn’t recorded
in Europe, where audiences
tend to be a little more re
strained.
“I’ll Give You Money” and
“Shine On” are two good roc
kers on Side Three. The lyrics
are not the best, but the beat is
good, and from the sound of it,
the people at the concert
thought so too. The last cut on
the side is an over-extenda
version of “Jumping
Flash, ” the old Rolling Slone
staple. It’s a good try, bit
artist who performs anotki
music always leaves hirasi
open to comparison,
Frampton just doesn’t meant
up on this one.
Side Four is probablytk
strongest side on the album,1
opens with “Lines On I
Face, which is about as elosee

on this album. Bob Mayoi

The only other cut on
side is “Do You Feel LikeW>
