Page 6 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1978 Folklorist says redneck rock may soon disappear Redneck rock, that music that seemed to bring cowboys and city kids together for a little mutual bin, is probably on the way out, largely a victim of its own acceptance, says a Tarleton State University folklorist. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jen nings and others are attempting a rebirth, said Dr, Sue McGinity of TSU, part of the Texas A&M University System, But their V primary direction seems to be putting old wine in new bottles. “The fresh, seemingly healthy defiance Nelson and family in itially brought to country music has all but disappeared or been perverted,” explained McGinity, who has traced the progress of country music and wants to document some of the redneck rock phenomenon before it fades. Although Nelson, Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, Asleep at the Wheel and others are putting new twists to old standbys, only a handful of extremist songsters such as the irreverent Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys hold firm “radical innovation, she says. When outlaw musicians de clared Austin the new Nashville, the movement produced a spate of imitators. Soon, a movie on outlaw musicians was made and the term became a household word, McGinity saick Zoning Board grants variances By FLA VIA KRONE The College Station Zoning Board of Adjustment granted two var iances and denied a third at a meet ing Tuesday night at City Hall. The Zoning Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial body that rules on citizen appeals concerning zoning ordinances, “non-conforming building use permits and variances, says City Attorney Neeley Lewis. A variance is any exception to the city ordinances which govern such things as lot size, building setbacks and building permits. In granting a variance, the board considers whether or not it will change the characteristics of an area and if the variance is in the public interest. A person must also show that compliance with a city ordinance will cause him “undue hardship. "By and large, undue hardship means what the board says it means, said Lewis. The board denied a variance re quest for a patio covering from Abe Cyrus, 1303 Augustine, College Station. Building Inspection Department official Bill Koehler said his office had received a complaint about the patio cover from Cyrus’ neighbor, Joe McNabb of 1302 Angelina Ct. McNabb said Cyrus built the patio cover without a permit in violation of city ordinance. He also said he could see the cover over his backyard fence and considered it an eyesore. “I don t think not filing a permit is an excuse to let a structure stand that reduces the value of my prop erty, McNabb said. “I didn t pay the money 1 paid to move into this area to look at something that looks like an apartment complex. Cyrus said he was not aware that he was in violation of any ordinance until a building inspector came to IChUCKkOhST Blade Cut LPremiiinb Frolen roien ib.
