But they make no apologies for being rough. “Our music is what it is,” Braun said. “We don’t try to be anything we are not.” Braun said Reckless Kelly appreciates the fan base in College Station and understands what it is like to fit into a community such as Aggieland. “The whole band is a bunch of brothers,” Braun said. “Even when we are not out on the road we hang out, go to parties, do whatever — like old married people or maybe a fraternity.” The band will spend the next few months touring with The Flatlanders and then head off to Europe to play dates in London and festivals in Amsterdam. Braun said Reckless Kelly will then return to the studio to record a new album in June followed by more touring in July. “We’re going back to Europe with a whole new batch of stuff, but we are going to work on it here in our shows over the next couple of months,” Braun said. The band will take the stage at midnight Friday at Shadow Canyon for the Northgate Music Festival. Braun said Aggies should check out the show and hear the new songs with the best wishes of the band. “If I could say the thing I wanted someone to take home from our show,” Braun said. “It would be a good time ... and maybe a date for the evening.” 28 dress designed and Cte een | denim di and Bosnia PEOPLE IN THE NEWS inger Bobby Brown ordered pi 5 pay $63,500 in child support |r face jail time ibutesW car crash Mass. (AP) — A family court judge dered R&B singer Bobby Brown jailed for 90 days or he pays $63,500 in child support he owes the other of two children he fathered. Brown, released from a Georgia jail early so he luld attend the contempt hearing, cried as he was d from the courtroom. He was to be jailed in the orfolk County House of Correction. ludge Paula Carey issued the ruling after Brown, tsband of singer Whitney Houston, testified that he as unable to pay support he owes for children, now 2 and 14, that he fathered with Kim Ward, of Brown, a Roxbury native, was released Monday, iree days early, from the Georgia jail where he had een serving a 60-day sentence on a probation viola- ion stemming from a drunk driving charge. Urn, 35, also is charged with misdemeanor bat- iry after he allegedly hit Houston, leaving her with a raised cheek and a cut lip. He is scheduled to ppearMay 5 in a Fulton County, Ga., court on that (large. Carey said the financial statement the troubled for mer pop star provided the court “lacks all credibility,” and declined his lawyers’ offers to pay $10,000 by the end of Wednesday, an additional $15,000 within 10 days and negotiate the rest. Brown, who was more than four hours late for the hearing, testified in a hushed voice, telling the judge that he was unable to pay because he had no job and no income. “I never wanted this to happen,” he said. His attorney, Vincent Dimmock, said although Brown had been a successful pop singer in the 1980s and early 1990s, he has “been nowhere near that in recent years.” Brown said he planned to have an album out within 30 days and begin production of movie in Los Angeles. But after the judge was told Brown had not received an advance for the album, Carey said “I don’t find it credible that no money has been advanced at all.” Ward’s attorney, Linda Medonis, said her client sought the money only on her children’s behalf. Brown left R&B group New Edition in the late 1980s for a solo career. His hits include “My Prerogative” and “Every Little Step," but he has become more famous for his numerous brushes with the law and his turbulent marriage with Houston. The couple lives in the Atlanta area. Houston, who recently checked herself into a drug reha bilitation center, did not attend Wednesday’s hearing. h department of health & kinesiology MSC OPAS § 'I7k ^ TOR THE enlighten ] entertain | inspire Present VISUAL AND PERFORMING clfts Faculty Performing An Arts Showcase Can your dance professor perform Swan Lake?
