Snider: Up-and-coming
musician to nlav B-CS

track has a modern rock sound,
then another seems like a song
that should only be heard at the
Dixie Chicken. Snider’s musical
influences can be compared to a
shoplifter’s loot after a binge at a
record store. Lynyrd Skynyrd, the
Rolling Stones, the Doors and
Jerry Jeff Walker play into
Snider’s style.
The country music influence on
Snider’s music is best demonstrat
ed on the album’s ghost track titled
“Moon Dawg Tavern.” The song is
based on an actual bar opened by a
man named Moon Dawg.
Snider said he used to visit the
tavern in Kentucky and eventual
ly became the house musician.
The bar was an old tool shed that
sold illegal liquor to its “regular
customers.” Snider revisited the
bar after releasing his first album
and said it was good to go back,
though it wasn’t the same place to
him anymore.
Snider recently returned from
touring with Jack Ingram.
Bennett said that each singer
has a strong following in certain
regions of the country, but when
they toured together, they were
successes in every region of the
country. In California and the
Eastern Seaboard, Snider would
headline the performance, but in
areas such as the South, Ingram
would be the headliner with
Snider opening for him.
Snider and his band, the
Nervous Wrecks, will be perform
ing tonight at the Dixie Theatre.
Willie Bennett, partner and general
manager of the Dixie Theatre, said
he was exited to have an artist of
Snider’s caliber play in Bryan.
“Todd Snider is on cutting
edge of music,” Bennett said. “In
many parts of the country, he is a
huge act.
“This is the first chance for us
to see him before he hits it big.”
A press release said that
Snider’s newest album makes a
listener think that he might be
Bob Dylan’s and Janis Joplin’s

MTV Video Music Awards attract throngs of peop
to Radio City Music Hall for the grand performant
NEW YORK (AP) — Where do legions of annoyed,
day-weary suits breast-stroke through a rush-hour
thicket of washboard bare midriffs, eyebrow rings and
hair gelled to withstand cyclones unscathed?
Where can MTV take over a chunk of one of the
world’s busiest cities for 48 hours and paint a giant
logo on the street? Where is the televised version of
an event more important than the event itself?
Gotta be New York — midtown Manhattan, to be
exact, where the MTV Video Music Awards, the

Some of the more scintillating dialogue:

—Host De

Wednesday night.
And once again, the
“TV" in MTV was just
as important as the
“M.”
“This is modern
spectacle,” said
Eduardo Braniff,
MTV’s manager of
international pro
gram sales. He
escorted Sharon
Stone to the awards,
held at Radio City
Music Hall.
All the block
became a stage for
MTV’s program, and
all the screaming,
thronging men and
women outside
merely players —
and unpaid ones at
that, essential
though they were to
the show.
“I’m here —
that’s all I care
about,” one teen-age
girl yelled across a
police barricade
pressing hard
against her waist.
Oh — the awards.

Morissette, up for
best video for “Ironic,” vied against Foo Fighters (“Big
Me”), Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (“The Crossroads”) and
Smashing Pumpkins (“Tonight, Tonight”), who won on
that song for best breakthrough video.
Other winners included Coolio for best rap video
(“Gangsta’s Paradise”) and best dance video (“1, 2,
3, 4 (Sumpin’ New)”), Fugees for best R&B video
(“Killing Me Softly”) and Foo Fighters for best group
video (“Big Me”).
Smashing Pumpkins, with the most nominations,
made their first TV appearance since the heroin-over
dose death of keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin in July —
an event followed by the firing of drummer Jimmy
Chamberlain, reportedly also involved with drugs.
Inanities surfaced throughout: We learned comedi
an Chris Rock had a turkeyburger for breakfast. We
learned Rosie O’Donnell does a hilarious “Ironic” imi
tation. And we learned that, no matter how famous
you are, genital jokes and profanities remain the
shortest route to a cheap laugh.
Outside, hundreds of fans lined a street renamed
