From staff reports
An electric band will ncrform at 9 n.m. June 8 at Bill's
Music Shop.
Zero Pop, a trio from New York, France and the
southern United States, was co-founded by Mark Howell
and Bruno Meillier in 1986. Their music blends the French
jazz sensibilities of saxophonist Meillier and the American
^ rock 'n' roll roots of guitarist Howell into an original,
unique, international sound. Their sound is intellectually
challenging, yet musically rewarding.
The band has two drummers to juggle. Jim Meneses
will play for the band's spring U.S. tour, and Ikue Mori
from Japan will play on the European tour.

Lynyrd Skynyrd did for Southern Rock what Led Zcp- If

Using catchy hooks and common-man lyrics, the band
rought the style one step closer to accessibility ? but not
oo close like .38 Special did.

The band is both a legend and a critically underrated
ock 'n' roll band in this land of instant legends and overatcd
bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd's albums are all either gold

The band's way of looking at things always showed.
rhey played hard, lived hard, and they believed in right
ind wrong.
When Ronnie Van Zandt and Steve and Cassie Gaines
vere killed, Lynyrd Skynryd was over. No mike-stand
linging, long-haired cowboy singer, no Skynyrd.
After proper mourning, Rossington-Collins band was
ormed from the remnants of Lynyrd Skynyrd. They
nanaged to put out a good album, and their shows conisted
of a L.ynyrd Skynyrd tribute complete with a sans
focal, spotlight-on-the-hat, atop-ihc-mikc stand Free
9 ird.
When I first heard of the Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute, I
eserved judgment. Guitarist Allen Collins had recently
3een confined to a wheelchair due to an automobile accident.
This was going to take it even one step further from
he original band.

My worries were over when 1 learned Ed King was rejoining
the band for the tour. A talented songwriter and
guitarist, King had left the band after two albums because
of a severe drug problem. In the late '70s he quit drugs
completely and became a major-league computer programmer
somewhere in Ohio. King spoke of this saying he
was "lucky even to be here." He certainly seemed the
healthiest and most inspired person on stage.

The only guy recruited for this tour was Randall Hall.
Before the show, I spoke to Allen Collins, who was on the
road as an adviser to the band. He told me he recruited
Hall himself for his "ability and maturity." This proved
true during the show, as Hall seemed comfortable on
stage and his Skynyrd-schooled licks made him as big a
part of the band as anyone else.
Artimus Pyle, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkenson, all
original members, also returned for the tour. It's a onetime
thing, no songwriting or albums, just one tour. A
tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
On May 25, they brought their tribute to Columbia,
and it was clear from the start what they planned to do.
Opening with Workin' for MCA to closing with a
30-minute Free Bird (Yes, no vocals, hat on the mike
stand) the set list came right from where Skynyrd left off.
A real treat was Ballad of Curtis Loew, a song the original
band rarely played live.
The show was high energy; though at times, it seemed a
bit forced. Johnny Van Zandt could never be the front
man his brother was, and his trying to reproduce every
nuance ? like the famous Turn it Up! on Sweet Home
Alabama ? seemed distracting. But for the most part, he
sang strong and proud.
Lynyrd Skynyrd has always managed to get three
distinct sounds from their three guitars ? layering, not
merely piling them into some gigantic mush. They are true
musicians, not just the go-for-broke guitarists their
reputations seem to indicate.
The show included video screens used to highlight solos
and showed rare, emotional footage of the original band.
This worked better than expected coming from a no-frills
band.
Lynyrd Skynyrd s long guitar jams gave the new bands
of 1977 something to revolt against. Perhaps it is time for
these bands to learn from the perseverance and pride of
one hell of a band.
