Trump tops political
leaders in speaker fees
NEW YORK (AP) — The Don
ald’s talk is certainly not cheap.
The New York Post reported
Monday that entrepreneur Don
ald Trump is
getting a net
$80,000, plus
first-class ex
penses for two,
to fly to Mel
bourne, Aus
tralia, next year
to give a 45-
minute keynote
address. The
topic is “Ingre
dients of Sue- TRUMP
cess.’”
Trump’s fee tops those com
manded by retired Gen. Colin
Powell, Henry Kissinger and
various ex-presidents and moti
vational speakers. Powell, for ex
ample, is thought to get $60,000
per appearance.
The Washington Speakers
Bureau made the approach to
Trump at the request of ICM
Australia. It says up to 10,000
business owners and managers
may attend the seminar.
Butthole Surfers concert
ends on sour note
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — A
concert by alternative rockers
the Butthole Surfers ended on a
sour note when lead singer Gib-
by Haynes got ticked off.
When an audience member
threw a wristwatch at him, in
juring his hand, Haynes told
the 5,000 fans to “shut up and
go home.”
He angrily yelled at the
unidentified watch-slinger and
challenged the rest of the audi
ence to physically punish anyone
they saw throwing anything.
The four-hour concert Satur
day at the Texas Sky Festival
Park also featured the Rev. Hor
ton Heat and the Toadies.
Before leaving the stage,
Haynes called Corpus Christi a
city of “white trash" and said he
didn’t care if people refused to
buy the band's newest album.
KISS

an rowdy but influential band
deserves better than the sad
state of affairs presented by
its loyal army Saturday night.
I want to feel like I’m 18 for
ever just as much as the next
person, but I don’t want to act
like an 18-year-old forever.
In fact, I remember not
wanting to act like an 18-year-
old when I was 19. So I guess
listening to drunk old men
scream obscenities at trashy
women and fight over whether
“Deuce” or “Detroit” would be
played first pushed me over
the edge Saturday night.
KISS was cool in the '70s,
but in the ’90s, they’re basical
ly old men in tights and make
up. And so are their fans. For
about the same amount of
money as attending the KISS
reunion tour, you could practi
cally go to New York and see
the same thing every day. And
that’s what I recommend you
do if you want to listen to loud
music and see lots of fire.
Besides, the drinks are
cheaper.
NEW YORK (AP) — MTV is
creating a new channel aimed at
providing videos for slightly old
er viewers in order to carve a
niche in the next generation of
cable TV, industry observers
said Monday.
M2: Music Television, a 24-
hour service, debuts Aug. 1 in as
few as 1 million homes, mostly
home satellite systems. Selling
M2 to cable systems begins next
week, MTV said.
“You’ll see a lot of these
channels launching over the
next couple of years,’’ said
Derek Baine, a cable analyst
for Paul Kagan Associates of
Carmel, Calif. “Everybody’s
gearing for an increase in
channel capacity.”
Baine said the cable ventures
of MTV’s parent company, Via
com Inc., also include MTV’s
previous spinoff for older rock
ers, VH1, as well as kids’ Nick
elodeon, Nick at Nite, TV Land,
and Showtime Networks.

hide themselves from it.
Sam’s ex-wife Bunny (Francis
McDormand), for instance, has
had her share of emotional prob
lems. But instead of facing them
she buries them in Texas foot
ball teams.
Another figure of Sam’s past
is his teenage love Pilar (Eliza
beth Pena). When Sam and Pilar
“Viacom has a lot of lever
age with their other channels
for doing package deals,’’
Baine said.
As MTV’s mirror image, M2's
logotype is a “2” embedded in an
MTV logo as seen from behind.
Its “free form” music video
playlist will aim for the elder part
of MTV’s 18- to 24-year-old core
audience, MTV researchers said.
Critics of the original chan
nel say it now offers too many
game shows, news programs
and documentaries.
M2 also will be the first ca
ble channel to provide 24-hour
Intercast service, a supple
ment that displays M2 video,
text and graphics on personal
computers equipped with spe
cial circuitry.
“They’re starting small and
trying to build up an image, a got-
ta-have-it mentality,” said ana
lyst Jill Krutick of Smith Barney.
“If it’s done well, they should be
expanding their audience.”
reunite, their old feelings rekin
dle and they fall in love again—
only to have her mother Mer
cedes (Miriam Colon) reiterate
the spite she always had for
their relationship.
Sayles says history is always
looming, and it draws the bor
ders between countries, states
and societies.
Like any mystery story, the
key to Wade’s death is exposed
at the end — but it is the sur
prising revelation made be
cause of this discovery that is
important.

Phenomenon
Continued from Page 3
Phenomenon may sound a bit
hokey; that’s because it is.
But while it is an unbeliev
able and cheesy love story, it is
also a great escape, which is
needed every once and a while.
After all, good movies don’t al
ways have to mirror reality.
And though Phenomenon may
have no basis in reality, its mes
sage is one all people can relate
to: if we can all locate the rab
bits in our garden and set them
free, we have the ability to grow
as people — to live, learn and
help others.
