Custom and it’s album Fast should die a quick and silent death. This album has as much artistic merit and creativity as a cockroach that stepped in ink and walked across a blank sheet of paper. Consider the radio release “Hey Mister,” which exempli fies to a limited degree the general theme of this CD with its testosterone-driven intentions. In this track, as in most others, it seems the lead singer cannot overcome his biochemistry enough to write about anything more than procreation. Throughout the album, it is as if his own hormones penned the lyrics for the filthy songs. And these are not Eminen-dirty songs where malevo 1 ;! perceived from the lyrics can be attributed to attempi humor. Custom songs are only simple and malicious-] ramblings of the weak-minded. The subject of sexual frustration is not so unwarn; itself; however, the depth from which Custom’s expres; originate seems a bit juvenile. On this disc, the contemp] level is that of a high school sophomore. Musically, this CD sounds like a band of third sra;| plugging in with their daddies’ instruments and fn rhythms and styles as old as rock itself. The instrumenis.1 contemporary, but the beats are boring and the performai are unimpressive and predictable. With any hope, this band’s career will be Fayr and then minutes of fame will quietly tick into oblivion.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS Burns cites NY upbringing as film inspiration ED BURNS SPONSORED BY The Association OF FORMER STUDENTS* lA/ecaip, Tltp. Aggie, NetLoo^kJ NEW YORK (AP) - Actor Ed Burns says growing up around New York police officers led him to make films that celebrate work ing-class heroes. Burns’ father, uncle, and four cousins were officers, and three child hood friends joined the force. The director and star of Sidewalks of New York, and star of the new Life or Something Like It, said his father took him on tours of the rough neigh borhoods where he worked. “Another time, he put me in a jail cell say ing ‘You want to be a tough guy and do drugs? This is where you’ll end up.’ Believe me, experiencing this stuff as a kid changes the way you look at the world,” Burns told Parade magazine in Sunday’s editions. Burns, 34, never considered becoming a police officer. Instead, he majored in English at college and worked as a production assis tant on the TV show Entertainment Tonight. He scraped together $25,000 to make The Brothers McMullen, a film about three Irish Catholic brothers. It won the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury prize, and Burns never looked back. "When you go from making $18,000 a year, getting people coffee, to winning an award like that, I knew from that day on, it would never be the same,” he said.
