McCartney offers
By TIMM DOOLEN
Of The Battalion Staff
“Right now we want to go back
through the mists of time, to a time
they called the ’60s,” Paul McCart
ney says just before breaking into
“The Long And Winding Road” on
his latest release, Trippin’ The Live
Fantastic.
And this album, recorded live on
his 1989-90 world tour, is for the
most part a trip through this former
Beatles’ songwriting of the ’60s.
Sixteen of the 35 songs on the two
compact disc set are Beatles songs;
six of them span his solo career from
1970 to 1989; six are from his last
studio album, 1989’s Flowers in the
Dirt; the other seven are a mixture
of oldies like “Ain’t That a Shame”
and “Twenty Flight Rock” along
with what one might call “works in
progress” such as the reggae-sound-
mg “Together.”
The Beatles songs start from as
early as “I Saw Her Standing There”
and go all the way through “Let It
Be,” hitting almost every album in
between. Beatles fans should like
embellished versions of “Things We
Said Today” and “Sgt. Pepper’s
Lonely Hearts Club Band,” both of
which feature some of the best gui
tar work on the album.
The way McCartney handles “The
Fool On The Hill” is curious. He
sings it in a higher chord than the
original, and during one of the
breaks in the song, the voice of Mar
tin Luther King Jr. (“I have a
dream...”) is superimposed over the
music. I wonder why he does this
and what statement he is trying to
make.
Fans of McCartney’s solo work
probably will be disappointed that of
the six tracks from before Flowers,
one is a dance version of “Coming
Up,” one is an out-of-context “E-
bony And Ivory” without Stevie
Wonder, and the other four were on
his last live album, 1976’s Wings
Over America.
The songs from Flowers are re
markable only in that he included
them at all. Not that the music is bad,
but songs such as “Rough Ride” and
“We Got Married” have to compete
with classics like “Got To Get You
Into My Life,” “Jet” and “Maybe I’m
Amazed.”
One minor problem with the al
bum is that McCartney’s 49-year-old
voice is not as strong as it was when
he first sang “Can’t Buy Me Love,”
“Eleanor Rigby,” “Get Back” and
“Band On The Run,” and on parts
of some of these songs it shows.
From the liner notes, it looks like he
recorded every one of his 102 per
formances, and I wonder if he
couldn’t have found better takes of
some of the songs.
The only major shortcoming of
this live album is the same shortcom
ing of his whole tour — he could
only include a handful of the 400 or
so songs he has recorded over the
past 30 years as a member of the
Beatles, Wings or as a solo artist.
Some fans will find that McCartney
doesn’t include their favorite Beatles
song, but overall he does a good job
of including “universal hits” like
“Hey Jude” and “Yesterday.”
Tracks like those make it hard to
criticize an album whose contents
have already sold in the hundreds of
millions. And this is the album of the
concert that reinvigorated McCart
ney’s career after having waned
steadily during the ’80s. The album,
like the concert, isn’t perfect, but it is
a recorded history of Paul McCart
ney’s second United States tour since
1966.
As the ten year anniversary of
John Lennon’s death approaches,
Beatles fans should be comforted in
the knowledge that the songs of the
most successful songwriting duo in
the world live on as half of McCart
ney’s pretty fantastic Trippin’ The
Live Fantastic.”
Rocky comes full circle
ByCAROL GLENN
Of The Battalion Staff
Sylvester Stallone tries to close the
sappy “Rocky” saga that began in
1976. But instead of boxing, “Rocky
V” concentrates on a heavy-weight
boxing champion who needs to toss
in the gloves and silk American flag
shorts and retire to a more serene
life as a boxing manager.
“Rocky V” takes off where “Rocky
IV” ends with Rocky defeating the
Russian boxing monster, Drago. Af
ter this difficult boxing match Rocky
returns to the locker room where he
showers and attempts to unwind, but
his hands won’t stop shaking. He be
gins to realize that his boxing career
could be coming to an end.
Under the advice of his wife
Adrian (Talia Shire), Rocky under
goes examinations by neurologists.
They discover that Rocky has suf
fered some irreversible brain dam
age caused by several sever e blows to
the head during his career; they rec
ommend that Rocky retire.
Rocky, who as you can guess, isn’t
real happy to hear this, reluctantly
agrees to retire for the sake of
Adrian and their son, Rocky Jr.
(Sage Stallone).
To make matters worse, Rocky
also finds out that he has lost all of
his money as a result of his crooked
accountant.
So now the Balboa family, includ
ing Uncle Paulie (Burt Young), are
forced to move back to the Philadel
phia slums where the first “Rocky”
began.
Adrian goes back to changing
newspapers in bird cages. Eleven-
year-old Rocky Jr. faces the unplea
santries of attending a new school
where a few boys repeatedly beat
him up. And Rocky reopens Mick-
ey’s gym and begins to train and
manage a new young boxing talent,
Tommy “Machine” Gunn (Tommy
Morrison).
“Rocky V” really just finishes the
circle of the boxing champion’s life,
and puts the Balboas back where the
first “Rocky” began, in the slums of
Philadelphia.
Rocky is no longer fighting to be
in top physical boxing condition, but
he is struggling to reweave the thin
ning fabrics of his family
relationship.
Adrian frequently becomes angry
as she has to constantly argue with
Rocky to remain retired. Paulie be
comes a bigger lush with each pass
ing day. And Rocky Jr., who resents
his unattentive father, rebels by
smoking cigarettes and wearing an
earring.
“Rocky V” like the previous four,
has the same sappy dialogue, themes
and characters, but it’s the same sap
piness that the audience expects and
pays for when they go to see this
type of movie.
One thing that I did find partic
ularly disappointing though, is that
the inspirational original “Rocky”
song was never played. Instead this
movie contains musical hits from
M.C. Hammer and Elton John.
Maybe I wanted more nostalgia
from Stallone, who went so far as to
get the same director, John G. Avild-
sen, who directed the original
“Rocky” to direct “Rocky V.”
“Rocky V,” which is rated PG-13
and now showing at the Post Oak
Three, gives a sense of completion to
the boxing match on the silver
screen that has lasted for the past 14
years between the moviegoers and
Sylvester Stallone.

Wilburys travel wrong
way in second album
By TIMM DOOLEN
Of The Battalion Staff
In 1988, five old-timers got to
gether, recorded some songs un
der a funny name and put to
gether a great album. Two years
later, and one member less, the
Traveling Wilburys are, it’s sad to
say, living off their past success.
Volume Three (their second
album, not their third) makes me
wish I could have heard Volume
T wo.
The main problem with the
new album is that Bob Dylan
sings most of the songs, and on
some of them, he sounds horri
ble. Tom Petty sings a few, but
Jeff Lynne and George Harrison
are heard only in the background
and in bit parts.
I admit it must have been hard
for the four to try to regain the
magic they once had, with the
shadow of Roy Orbison hanging
over them. Orbison died just
months after their first album was
released.
But that is no excuse for letting
Bob Dylan sing the ’50s-style “7
Deadly Sins,” an otherwise good
song, except for his voice.
And even Tom Petty’s singing
isn’t as sharp as on his 1989 re
lease, Full Moon Fever. He prac
tically whines “Poor House.”
The songs range from non
sensical, “Cool Dry Place” and
“Wilbury Twist,” to socially con-
Overall the music isn't
that bad, but it’s just
not as good as it could
have been from these
four talented
musicians.
scious, “ The Devil’s Been Busy.''
On the latter, the band criticizes
toxic waste and the use of pesti
cides (I think).
On the positive side, "New
Blue Moon” is an upbeat Lynne-
/Harrison song that is probably
the best track on the album, “In
side Out” has a good melody, and
Lynne’s “She’s My Baby” is a
rocker.
Overall the music isn’t that
bad, but it’s just not as good as it
could have been from these four
talented musicians. No song on
the new album can compare to
“Headed For The Light” or "End
Of The Line” from their first al
bum.
I f you’ve never heard the Wil
burys before, get their first al
bum; if you’re a casual Wilbury
fan, listen to their second album
before you decide to buy it; and if
you’re a diehard Wilbury (or Bob
Dylan) fan, you've already bought
it, so why are you reading this?
I hope the Wilburys record
again. I just hope Volume Four
(or Five or Six) sounds more like
the old Wilburys than Volume
Three did.
