'Rascal
SPECIAL INTERVIEW
By JERRY CALABRESE
My first impression of The
Rascals and especially Eddie Bri
gati, lead vocalist, was a simple
"wow."
As I was led into Brigati's room,
I looked around and saw nothing
but an arm extending from the
narrow slot between the bed and
the wall.
Their road manager had just
left to supervise some other Ras.
cals and I was left introducing my.
self to an arm.
Brigati and Gene Cornish, lead
guitarist, wrestled between the
beds and after a sound thrashing,
the smaller Brigati decided to
calm down and talk with me.
Speaking on the success of the
group and their ability to remain
high in the record charts, Brigati
said it takes neither luck nor tal
ent. "People have to be able to
relate. A musician or group of
musicians can be good, but if
people can't relate to them, can't

identify some similarity of prob

Brigati said the Rascals are
doing more commentary music,
such as "Ray of Hope" and "Peo
ple Got to Be Free," as a use of
their influence. "When you got the
influence why not use it."
"I'm interested, as the group is,
in seeing that young people have
a future, in seeing that it's justi
fied to be born in this free beauti
ful country of ours that it's sup
posed to be," he said.
"The older generation is physi
cal. They comprehend only in
terms of tangible possessions. The
young are intellectually inclined.
The older generation won't allow
the young to be detached from the
physical. They can't understand it,
and they're afraid of it," Br'gati
said.
Brigati feels the present system
of government is a sick corrupt
game, where "little kids sit glued
to their TV sets and see Vietriam

ticians come and try to smooth it
all over.
"The only hitch," Brigati con.
tinued, "is that the kids will be
educated and they aren't going to
buy it. Politicians should work for
the benefit of mankind."
Speaking on student unrest, he
said, "True education is stifled.
The institution's true interest isn't
real education but programming.
Once a mind is educated to think,
to reason, it can't play the game,
it can't be led around like a lamb.
"Take drugs," Brigati said, "I
seriously doubt the government is
really concerned with the physical
well-being of drug users, when
they're sending kids out to spill
blood."
A knock echoed on the door and
we all knew it was show time. I
asked Brigati to sum up the most
important message he could con
vey. He thought for a moment,
shook his shaggy head and said,
"This country has more than
enough to eradicate all its prob
lems. We don't have to send people
out with guns. Religion tells us;
science tells us. All is one; one iQ
all; in short - people got to bc
free-peace, brother."

but opposers of the hill said the
rat system was anachron ist ic and
out of place In a progressive
school.
Another bill passed hy the coun
