BY BOB CRAFT
The Osmonds The Plan MGM-SE
4902
The only thing I can figure is
that someone slipped some
mescaline in Donny Osmond's
milkshake while he was at a Jesus
Freak convention.
No, that's too flip. The man
who talked to me on the phone
asked me if the paper would review
a new record from MGM. I said
sure, send it on. Then it seemed he
lowered his voice a trace when he
said it was by the Osmonds. He
quickly added that it was a
departure for -them and that the
company wanted some college
reaction on it.
That seems fair enough. College
campuses are not exactly die-hard
strongholds for the Osmonds,
although there have been some
rumors of Osmond posters in
various Tri-Delt houses across the
country. And who can ever forget
the UPI report of "Double Lovin"'
being played on the stereo when
FBI men rushed a Weatherman
bomb factory in Boulder,
Colorado?
See, there I've blown it again.
It's really too easy to make fun of
the Osmonds and not take them
seriously, as if they ever asked us to
take them seriously.
No they haven't, not at least,
those of my age group or for that
matter any of my sex.

RITTON
Is Rene
Fourteen years old and female is
the market for the Osmonds. Those r
budding sexualities pricked by the C
boy's soprano of Donny backed by t
his brothers in outlandish fringed k
costumes, tie-dyed and spangled, C
picked from the rack of the boy's l
section of the Mick Jagger botique. t
All of them writhing in unison in r
scrubbed versions of the big boy's l
contortions. c
Time marches on, however and
thankfully, (how would you like to C
be trapped in your fourteenth year I
forever?) and Donny's voice has t
changed. f
And if anything is to be S
gathered from THE PLAN (could c
that name be a double entendre for C
the change itself?) the Osmonds are (
undergoing a change, becoming C
bored with their teeny-bop l
shenanigans and reaching out. Here
the temptation to parallel the E
Osmonds with The Beatles r
becomes great, but at the risk of E
blasphemy I shall demur from that. 1
The album itself is a concept
album that is similar to something I
from the past, say 1969 or S
thereabouts. The man in the album I
is contemplating the relationship 5
of himself to God. It ends happily (
( shall break the suspense). The I
man journeys through confusion r
"Got traffic in my mind/Don't (
know which road to follow" after
the first cut that is entitled "War in
Heaven," AND DOUBT "It coul 1
end tomorrow/And where would I S
be/Does life go on/Or will it be the I
end of me? Are you up there. ../Do t
you really care/Are you up there?"
through prophetic certainty "Now I
just look around/If that'S WHAT V\ s
just look around/If that's what we I
see/I t's gotta be the last days" and c
finally peace "Going home/if it I
takes me the rest of my life."
While this sounds like
something like the Moody Blues
might pull, don't be deceived. The
poetry of the songs at no point C
appraoches the majesty of the
Moodies. In fact some of it is C
downright silly. "Why did you do t
it/You should not make your r
mother cry/I'd say you blew it." i"
The Osmonds have learned their c
lessons well. And as it is easy to see,t
they have not forgotten the ti
transistorized loins from which 9
they sprung and holding fast to the.
credo "Don' mess wif success," s
they have thrown a monkey '
wrench into their own album. c
Several af the songs on this si
album were written just perfectly A
for Top 40 play. Such songs as "Let C
Me In" and "Darlin'" already
smack of gold 45s for the Osmond e
treasure room. In the album, t
however, they are not meant to be c
teeny-bopper love ballads but ti
meant to talk about love of man for tI
God, this is especially clear in "Let
Me In" where the man screams at
God to take him in.

But to be fair, the album is not
ompletely a waste. No, not at all.

here are also those that don't.

While there is some nobility in
his album, the Osmonds can also
ink to the depths also. On "Let Me

iang-up Vogues imitation.
They also are a little too
ightweight at this point to
peculate on the fall of the Empire.
mean can you not sit back and
rack up when the cut "The Last
)ays" comes on and societal
legeneration is symbolized by an
)smond giving out with an
>rgasmic grunt? (Okay you cynics,
top saying that that is a really
lood symbol)
I f this seems hard on the
)smonds, realize that I am judging
hem by standards that they have
ever been judged by before. This
new territory to them and the
inly real trouble seems to be if the
oys are going to forge ahead
irough the much or if they run
utless.
I say, Osmonds, pick up those
vnthesizers and carve out a
attlement and give yourself a
uple of years. Because, if you
:ay where you are, the future is
'hat is happening to David
assidy: Oblivion.
