Full of vulgarities and weak
musical support. 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. (Grade:F

Burns cites NY upbringing as
film inspiration

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.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tony award winner

Stephen Sondheim is
among her favorite com
posers.
"He’s divine because he
loves the singer so
much," Peters said. “And
after you sing, he says ‘I
