Country-and-western musician Pat Green to performt(5|
at Shadow Canyon for final Outlaw Thursday oftht
By Brandi Ballard
Staff writer
T wo months ago he packed
Shadow Canyon. A line
formed around the building,
and people stood in line for two
hours trying to get in, only to be
turned away. Now, he is back and
ready to rock at the final Outlaw
Thursday of the year. He is Pat
Green, and he is making a big name
for himself in College Station.
Green started playing the guitar
at the age of 18 and never stopped.
“It was like an addiction for me,"
he said. “I was so serious about it.”
In 1995, he got his first big break,
when Robert Earl Keen let Green get
on stage and play during a break. In
April of that same year, Green got a
band together and played his first
show with Jackopierce.
“After that, it just exploded,”
Green said.
Green’s first record was re
leased on Dec. 6, 1995. His sec
ond record was released in April
1997 and at one point,was the
best-selling record in College Sta
tion. His combined record sales
are over 8,000 copies.
His plans for the future in
clude recording a live album in
College Station.
“Texas music as a whole has a
strong fan base in College Station,”
Green said. “That was part of the
reason for choosing College Station
as the site of our live album. You also

have a good pull from
Waco and Austin.”
He said he looks fo
recording live albums.
Green said he likes to p
lege Station because it h
He said he also enjoys cot
to see other bands.
"I sometimes sneak d<
to hang out and see oth
who are performing.” Green said.
Two members of his band are
Texas A&M students. Brendon An
thony, a junior political science ma
jor, and Justin Pollard, a junior agri
cultural development major, play
the fiddle and drums, respectively,
for Green.
“Pat is great,” Anthony said. “He
is a good friend. There is a definite
buzz about him in Texas.”
Anthony and Pollard said they
have a great time playing in the band.

Films offer solace to recent parolees of higher educ
vk
G raduation. In just a few short weeks, thousands
of seniors will be walking across a stage at
commencement and into oblivion. For those
few seniors with career plans already in place and the
perfect spouse with the 2.5 kids and a dog named
“Rusty” close to realization, I have one thing to say:
Get a life.
For those people who have a fear the real world
will swallow them up in a Motorola flip phone during
a power lunch, revel in the final moments of your
tenure as a student at Texas A&M and find solace in
the fact Hollywood has embraced the dilemma of the
student who does not want to leave the flannel safety
of academia.
Let me introduce the readers to Mrs. Robinson,
a.k.a. a Simon and Garfunkel song, a.k.a. Anne Ban
croft. The Graduate is the classic film t released in the
late ’60s. It introduced the world to a young actor by
the name of Dustin Hoffman, who plays Ben Brad-
dock, a recent college graduate.
Ben does not know what he wants to do with his life.
Grad school does not appeal to him, and the idea of a
career in plastics does not seem too attractive either.
To add confusion to Ben’s life is the smoldering
Mrs. Robinson, the role that made Bancroft a Holly
wood icon. Mrs. Robinson seduces Ben, sending the
directionless young man reeling.
The Graduate is one of those rare films that defined
a generation. The amazing thing is the film does it
with such quiet power, the generational effect cannot
be seen unless a Baby Boomer talks about it.
The appeal of the movie is not limited to the teeny
bopper/hippie/yuppie generation though. The Grad
uate has been elevated to the status of cultural fodder
that has blanketed the consciousness of Americans.
From episodes of “The Simpsons” to George
Michael songs, Mrs. Robinson and Ben have been in
grained in the collective consciousness of our minds.
Thirty years after Dustin Hoffman walked into the air
port comes another movie, called Kicking and Screaming.
This independent film follows a group of friends who re
cently graduated from a small liberal arts college.
This film remains so true to reality, it is scary. The
ime
film follows losh Hamilton’s character, Grow
experiences his first year after college.Theot
lem is even though he has graduated, he is *
to leave. Grover and his college drinkingbui^jg
live in the same house, they still visit thesar e *s
and they still go to keg parties.
However, unlike The Graduate, Groverha^
thing to go to if only he will make the first$K[i
d’Abo plays Grover’s ex-girlfriend lanewhol-
moved on.
The insecurities of Kicking and ScreanM-
versal to every student. Few movies arethisp®
honest about the joy and pain of college life
Both of these movies perfectly depict thef^
ing on with life. The security of a lecture hall ^
night cramming seems like a dream compart
terror of the world of conference calls andniortt
payments. However, they both resolve that life 5
on. Phases of life end, and college is oneofthos
So when seniors are walking into G. Rollie"
tening to “Pomp and Circumstance” while#-
what side of the mortarboard their tasselsar#

possibility of a Mrs. or Mr. Robinson in theft®
