Lovett gives first

ing m

the
fun in Rudder auditorium last nig
crowd or the band.
Grammy Award winner, Lyle Lovett
and His Large Band gave a stellar perfor
mance to a packed auditorium Monday
night. Performing old favorites like "L. A.
County" as well as material from the new al
bum to be released this week, Lovett made
the huge crowd feel like a gathering of old
friends.
His Large Band, consisting of Matt
McKenzie on the bass guitar, James Gilmar
on the congas and John Hagen on the cello,
held its own with a jazzy, humorous tune
while waiting for Lovett to join them on
stage. The band members enhanced the per
sonality of the showespecially Hagen, who
took a mild-mannered cello where it's never
been before.
Lovett opened with "Friend of the Dev
il," a song by the Grateful Dead and, in his
casual ofmandedness, told how he found he
had been singing the wrong words to the
song.
Lovett eased into new material with
"Family Reserve," an unusually morbid
song about deaths experienced within his
family. He recalls how his second cousin
choked on a peanut butter sand which while
the help, not knowing what to do, watched.
"I try to indentify human behavior in my
songs," said Lovett, in a post-concert inter
view. "People seem to deal with pain by
making jokes, with this song it's hard to tell
whether you should laugh or cry."
The new material is just as unique and
varied as on previous albums, with songs
Lovett wrote sitting in church "God knows
if a preacher preaches long enough, he'll get
hungry, too" and while watching a friend do
repair work under his house "Flyswatter, Ice
Water Blues."
"'Flyswatter, Ice Water Blues' is a love
song about spending a few minutes in the
morning with your husband or wife before
going to work/ Lovett said.
There are a few more ballads on this al
bum, challenging the accusation that Lovett
is a misogynist because of songs like "She's
No Lady (She's my wife)."
"I never meant those songs in any way
other than to point out how people treat one
another," Lovett said. "There are people out

wives."
Lovett picked up the pace with "Good
Intentions" and "Give Back my Heart."
These songs capture both sides of Lovett's
style: a smooth jazz sound and a bouncy
country song.

Lovett,
in strong voice all night, shone even more
brightly in performing perhaps his best
song, a song about heros and cowboys.
"Writing is a difficult thing," Lovett said.
"I never feel like I have a handle on things,
so I just keep trying."
Lovett's latest effort will be available in
stores this week.

Harrelson, Snipes deliver laughs
with 'White Men Can't Jump'
By Timm Doolen
The Battalion
"White Men Can't Jump"
Starring Woody Harrelson and
Wesley Snipes
Directed by Ron Shelton
Rated R
With a title like "White Men
Can't Jump," one expects a sim
ple, sophomoric comedy that is
big on cheap laughs and easily
forgettable when you leave the
theater. It is a comedy with some
cheap laughs, but is done so in a
way that is highly entertaining
and rarely offensive to the senses,
as most of today's comedies are.
The story concerns two hus
tlers on the basketball courts of
Los Angeles, a white guy, Billy
Hoyle (Woody Harrelson), and a
black guy, Sidney Deane (Wesley
Snipes). Deane thinks Hoyle is an
easy target, but Hoyle, a former
college player, takes him in their
first meeting.
Deane offers Hoyle a business
opportunity - they hustle people
together for bigger money. They
play the game, and eventually
form a strong friendship. Their
racial and business differences are
forgotten when they do it on the
court.
The men are drawn together
by a mutual attraction - they both
need money. Deane's wife wants
to move out of their bad neighbor
hood, and Hoyle and his girl
friend need to pay off some bad
debts to some mobsters.
Hoyle's girlfriend Gloria
Clemente (Rosie Perez) thinks the
answer to their financial problems

goes up against Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) in a game of one-on-one in the surprise I
is not on the court but on the game
show "Jeopardy." She constantly
tries to memorize the "World Al
manac" so she can win everything
on the show.
This film was a pleasant sur
prise, being one of the few movies
to show how races can come to
gether without being overly
preachy or heavy-handedly senti
mental. The racial concerns are
present in the background of the
story, but it never seems forced.
Admittedly, the plot isn't too
deep and many of the story ele
ments are lifted from other movies
("The Hustler" and "The Defiant
Ones" for starters). But there are
some extremely funny parts, espe
cially the mouthing off on the
court about who's best and what
the other players' mothers are do
ing. The comedy goes off the deep
end when Hoyle starts mouthing
off bigger players while Dea*
tries to hold him back.
Both Harrelson, in his first it
jor part in a film, and Snipes,"
gives the best performance soli
of his young career, are perfect
matched for their roles.
OK, so "White Men" woi
take home any little statuettes
year fom now, but it is definite
worth a few hours of your time
you want a few laughs.
