However,he said that he spends
much time in Aggieland with
his brother and girlfriend.
“My brother tries to tell me
I’m an Aggie at heart, but I’m
definitely not an Aggie,” said
Jon Cargo.
Becky Hedrick, a senior
business analysis major at
A&M said the host city of a
university can change the
center of attention.
UT looks at the traditions such as
Bonfire as a little strange.
“I’m just waiting for the day that
there will be a bunch of burnt Ag-

“Austin is completely different.
They brag about the town, and not
the school,” Hedrick said.
Robyn Cravens, Hedrick’s best
friend and a social work major at
gies after Bonfire,” Cravens said.
Chad O’Rourke, a sophomore
chemistry pre-med student at UT,
said he believes that the city influ
ences the atmosphere of a university.
"Austin is shaped by thethi
business activity, the presena
the state capital, and the young
versity students,” O’Rourkesai;

needs a good laugh.”
Kenneth Coxx, a stand-up com
ic who performs Saturday at 9 p.m.,
said he is looking forward to per
forming in Bryan.
“I’ve opened up clubs and I’ve
also closed some,” Coxx said.
Coxx, a veteran of HBO’s Def
Comedy Jam and Showtime at the
Apollo, is no stranger to comedy, and
soon he will be no stranger to college.
The comedian said he plans to
pursue a bachelor’s degree next year
in order to take a job in pharmaceu
tical sales at Johnson & Johnson.
Coxx is using the profits from his
comedy act to finance his tuition.
“I’m laughing my way to the
bank,” he said.
Rami Cerone said he hopes the
Comedy Corner will also be send
ing him to the bank. His year-old
Italian restaurant has brought stu
dents and townies as well as coun
ty residents to downtown Bryan.
“People are driving into Bryan
for this,” Cerone said.
Cerone’s restaurant and the
opening of the Comedy Corner
point to a revitalization of down
town Bryan, he said.
“Slowly, slowly,” Cerone said. He
said now he is content with bring
ing a few laughs to the community
— whose only source of stand-up
comedy has been stories about
“Roc, the good Ag” told at Midnight
Yell Practice.
The Comedy Corner is booked
until May, Cerone said.
He is advertising a Feb. 15$hi
featuring “Monique, the Mistress
Comedy,” a comedian named
city’s best by the Miami Herald.
Other than waitingforthesoui
system to be delivered days belt
the show, Cerone said he is asreai
as he can be.
“Eve gotten more reservation;
than I expected,” Cerone said.
Cerone invites A&M studentstt
attend Friday’s show.
“If they can get a date, comeoi
down,” he said, “Even if they can:
... come on down.”

Cowboys meld styles into new flavor
Reggae Cowboys
Tell the Truth
Pure Records
★ ★★ 1/2
by Stephen Llano
The Battalion
The words “reggae” and “cow
boy” seldom need to appear in the
same sentence, much less next to
each other.
But in the world of music, Reg
gae Cowboys is not an oxymoron.
The members of the group,
which hails from Toronto of all
places, have roots in Jamaica, An
tigua and Dominica, traditional
bases for reggae. That’s not to say
they have had no exposure to
country music. Bassist Roy Clarke
said in a press release that many
natives of the Caribbean actually
grew up listening to country mu
sic on the radio.
“A lot of the characters you
meet on the street are dreaming of
Clint Eastwood,” he said.
The songs on Tell the Truth cen
ter around western themes, such
as “Hang ’Em High,” an instru
mental western song.
The song-“Searchin’ for the Out
law” could do as much for the
gunslinger as Inner Circle’s “Bad
Boys” did for TV’s "Cops.” A cover
of the Eagles’ “Hotel California”
provides a new twist on the classic.
During the course of the album,
it is sometimes hard to tell
whether it is steel drums or a steel
guitar being played. “Do It to
Debt” is the most reggae-sound
ing song, although no song ignores
the western motif. “Stone Ranger”
and “Crime Stories” could have
been written by a gangster rapper
trapped in 1850’s California.

The Reggae Cowboys have
merged two forms of music intoan
album that could fit into manyra-
dio station formats across theU.S.
1 lowever, purists of both formswil
find something missing from the
blend. As with blending anything,
the unique flavors of botli styles
have given up something to creffia
whole new flavor of music.
Not to say the album is a weak _
debut for the Reggae Cowboys, bui\ ^(JSIN E *
their unique sound would be even
more interesting if they would dig rnnf : n . |pr | fr
deeper into the musical traditions ^ ucu
it samples from.
Overall,Tell the Truth doeswhai
it should do: establish this band
and its unique style. The band's
songs and talent are sure to gener
ate a following by those who are
interested in broadening theinnn-
sical horizons. Hopefully, future ef
forts by the Reggae Cowboys will
include more of the stronger ele
ments hidden deep in country and
reggae music.
