Walsh's latest project makes legendary
guitarist into 'Ordinary Average Guy'
By Timm Doolen
Joe Walsh
Ordinary Average Guy
Pyramid Records
Joe Walsh is not your average
Joe, but on his latest album. Ordi
nary Average Guy, he doesn't do
much to persuade us that his new
material is far above average.
With his first album in six years,
Walsh
blends
his off-
b e a t
brand of
humor
and gui-
tar-ori-
e n t e d
rock to make a unique musical
message. Sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't.
The title cut, which has received
a fair amount of radio airplay, is
probably the best song on the al
bum. There are a few other fairly
good songs,but the album is not as
solid as 1973's The Smoker You Drink
The Player You Get or the later But
Seriously, Folks.
But the album has its moments,
and in my opinion is better than
his last album, 1985's The Confes
sor.
"All of a Sudden" is one of
Walsh's better ballads, which has
the sound of his '70s work. "Look
at Us Now" is a different style for
Walsh, with a prominent percus
sion part that drives the song. And
"School Days" is a nostalgic treat
(along the same lines as Walsh's
earlier "Indian Summer") with
Walsh's long-time musical com
panion Joe Vitale singing lead on
the second half.
If the remaining songs on the
album were of the quality of those
mentioned, it could have been a
classic
Walsh set.
But a few of
the songs
just don't
hold up.
One song,
"Alphabeti
cal Order"
is an attempt at being funny along
with a hard musical edge that
doesn't work in either respect. Af
ter about the 30th abbreviation (FBI,
If the remaining songs on the album were of the quality of
those mentioned ("All of a Sudden," "Look at Us Now" and
"School Days"), it could have been a classic Walsh set. But a
few of the songs just don't hold up.
CIA, etc.) it gets old, lyrically and
musically.
"The Gamma Goochee" is simi
lar in that it consists mostly of plays
on words, this time the subject be
ing goofy dances, but the heavy
beat keeps it listenable.
Others are neither bad nor good,
just unintersting, such as "You
Might Need Somebody" and "Up
All Night."
My suggestion to the listener is
to give this album a try if you like
Joe Walsh's other stuff, but don't
expect it to be another But Seri
ously, Folks. My suggestion to the
record companies is to release that
wonderful album on compact disc
so we Walsh fans can enjoy classics
like "Life's Been Good" and "In
dian Summer" with CD-quality
sound.

Encore movie
channel opens
across nation
MIAMI (AP) — The Encore
movie channel premiered in 46
states Monday with the "Posei
don Adventure" as attorneys
skirmished in Florida over a bil
ling method that forces cable
customers to act if they don't
want the service.
Storer TV of Florida blacked
out its Encore broadcasts in three
test markets following an injunc
tion striking down its "negative-
option" billing plan, but parent
Tele-Communications Inc. went
ahead with its debut date.
Florida Attorney General Bob
Butterworth won the court order
Saturday after charging Storer
would violate Florida's unfair
trade law by forcing customers
to cancel the channel after a free
month to avoid an otherwise au
tomatic monthly fee.
Attorneys general in Texas,
Iowa and Washington have fol
lowed up with similar suits, and
Butterworth's deputy Peter An-
tonacci said Florida is discussing
the case with officials in other
states.
The companies were active on
two legal fronts Monday, with
Miami-based Storer submitting a
notice of appeal in West Palm
Beach and Denver-based TCI su
ing the state in Tallahassee to
stop it from intervening.
Attorney Terry Bienstock, rep
resenting both TCI and the sub
sidiary, claimed the state's en
forcement violated Storer's First
Amendment protections against
prior restraint.
Antonacci countered, "Every
body's permitted to broadcast."
He said the state attacked only
the billing method and expressly
said broadcast was not impeded.
Raising the First Amendment
issue was "an argument of con
venience," Antonacci said. "It's
a gouging question."
"We plan to make it our task
to see to it that negative options
are not permitted to exist in Flor
ida, at least in the form that they
have done it in. I think the Book-
of-the-Month Club is a fine way
to conduct a commercial enter
prise," he said. "You agree to a
negative procedure in advance."
