Robert Earl returns to his roots Friday
night and will take the Stafford stage
one last time before the club closes.

e Stafford Opera House, which is closing at the end of the
month, will host Robert Earl Keen, Jr. one last time Friday
i night. Keen, who is playing at Stafford tonight and Friday
ht, said he is very sad about Stafford’s closing.
Keen said the manager of Stafford Opera House, Thanh Nguyen,
ave him a place to play his music when he was starting out.
Nguyen first booked Keen at his old club on Northgate before
fford was opened. Keen said he enjoyed playing at Stafford and
irking with Nguyen.
“I really thought Stafford was a neat place,” he said. “And he
guyen) is eternally optimistic — I’ll say that for him.”
Keen, who rarely plays such small venues anymore, said he is
|ed to his favorite clubs closing.
“It’s not the first time I’ve played at a place that closed up imme-
ilitely afterward,” Keen joked. “If anyone wants to have a going out
if business sale, I’m up for grabs.”
Keen thinks the music scene in Bryan-College Station is improv-
ng and is much better than some larger towns.
“Sometimes there’s more live music in B-CS than there is in
Houston almost,” he said.
The music scene is far better than it was when he went to school
at A&M in the late ’70s, Keen said.
“It should have been there when I was in school,” he said. “If the
Brazos River wasn’t rising and the fishing wasn’t good, your only
form of entertainment was Channel 3. Wow, that’s exciting!”
Keen is not sure if he’ll play at The Dixie Theater after it opens in
Stafford’s place. He said his larger audiences make it hard for him to
talk with his audience, something Keen said he likes to do in inti
mate venues like Stafford.
“In recent years it’s been almost impossible to do,” he said.
“But I still foolishly attempt it. I will seize the opportunity when
it’s available.”
Keen, whose song, “The Road Goes on Forever,” has been selected
as the Highwaymen’s title track for their next album, said his song
writing is still the most important thing.
“I’m not like Mr. Pavoratti — I about halfway sing,” he said. “The
lyrics are what people come out to hear.”
Although critics have called him the Bob Dylan of country music,
Keen takes that as a compliment to his writing and is preparing to
publish a complete song book in the next couple of months.
“It’s the one thing I strive to do better,” he said. “I’ve pretty much
blown off any attempt to improve anywhere else.”

exas judge charges Stern with disorderly conduct
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) — A Texas
udge is gunnin’ for Howard Stem.
Justice of the Peace Floy Cano issued a
varrant Friday charging the shock jock with
lisorderly conduct for mocking fans of the
slain Tejano singer Selena on his show.
“I did it for all the Tejano fans,” Cano
said.
The warrant could be served if Stem sets
bot in Texas.
Jay Jacobson, executive director for the
Texas chapter of the American Civil Liber
ties Union, said the warrant violates Stem’s
free-speech rights.
“Being a music critic, no matter how
"I did it for all of the Tejano
fans"
—Judge Eloy Cano,
harsh, is not grounds for criminal charges,”
Jacobson said.
Soon after Selena was slain in Corpus
Christi on March 31, Stem played her music
to mock gunfire and said: “Alvin and the
Chipmunks have more soul. ... Spanish peo
ple have the worst taste in music. They have
no depth.”
Stem later apologized on the air.
A call Wednesday to Howard Stern
spokesman Don Buckwald ini New York was
n’t immediately returned.
