THE BATTAlii !HE battali
Rock Against Racism fights
prejudice through music
By Jesse Wright
THE BATTALION
It has been protested, peace
fully resisted and even rioted
against. But this Friday at Lake
Bryan, several bands will rock
against racism.
The Rock Against Racism
concert will be held at Lake
Bryan and will feature Skate
Around Chippy, Same Day
Service, Groceries, Pavlov’s
Dogs, Thanks For The Update,
Canvas, Mr. Body, We Talked
About Murder and TwoSpy.
Proceeds from the concert will
benefit The Positive Youth
Foundation, a non-profit organi
zation that promotes education of
racism and other related issues.
Brooke Hudson, a freshman
English major and historian
for KANM radio, spearheaded
the project. Hudson is also a
DJ for KANM, where she
plays punk and ska. She said
she wanted her show to have a
purpose, so she invited people
to talk about racism.
“Racism is inherent every
where you go,” Hudson said. “I
got tired of it. After seeing
what happened in Jasper, see
ing organizations like the Ku
Klux Klan and even the movie
American History X, I was
enraged. Why do we live like
this? We don’t have to."
Hudson said she came up
with the concert idea before the
Sept. 1 1 tragedy. She said it is
important that people realize
the negative effects of racism.
“It’s ridiculous. Being treated
differently based on
race is just ridicu
lous,” Hudson said.
“People should
accept others for
who they are, not
based on race. If you
look at genetics, race
doesn't really exist
anyways.”
Along with
fighting racism, the
concert offers
music that is not
common in area
venues. The concert
will feature several
punk bands, as well
as alternative and
“indie” rock bands. Rock
Against Racism will provide an
opportunity for many musi
cians to spread their sound to
new audience.
Kevin Jordan of Thanks For
The Update said he and the
band are excited to be a part of
Rock Against Racism.
“When we were asked to
perform we were more than
happy, because it was a great
up
chance to get our music out to
a different audience, and when
we saw the list of bands that
were playing we were excited,”
Jordan said. “The bands are

that racism needs to St

Angie Munsey of Sc
Around Chippy said the bar::
is also eager to perform ai
concert.
“We’re not a very politic:

Celine Dion plans move to Belgium, will rehearse for next year’s shows
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — Canadian singer Celine Dion

rehearse for her return to the stage next year.
In an interview with Belgian television, Dion said she would
be moving to La Louviere, a gritty steel town of 76,000 located
30 miles south of Brussels, for three months.
“We found a small house there, that will be our home for three
months ” Dion said. “1 can’t wait.”
The 34-year-old said she will move into the house sometime
this fall. Dion said she was returning to live performances after
two years off to have her first child.
Dion is to appear at Caesars Palace in Las
Vegas to headline an exclusive show co-pro-
duced by Franco Dragone, who directed
both of Cirque du Soleil’s Las Vegas pro
ductions “O" and "Mystere.”
Dion is moving to Belgium so she can
work with Dragone, who is putting the show
togejhejr, at Ips-hviijej ^ijsp. in La Louviere^
The show is set to premiere in March 2003.
