Fathers' Day to Bruce Springsteen
and Sting. Springsteen and
back-up singer/mommy Patti Scalfia
recently said hello to Evan
James, while Sting and his girlfriend
Trudy Styler added yet
another munchkin to the clan, this
time a baby girl.
John Cougar Mellencamp is
getting great press on his directing
and acting debuts in his film
Souvenirs, now being filmed in his
home state of Indiana.
Boy George is now a Hare
Krishna.
Human rights organization Amnesty
International's latest tour
has just been cleared for two dates
in formerly forbidden Chile.
Among those lined up to play are
Sting, Jackson Browne, Sinead
O'Connor, Wynton Marsalis,
Ruben Blades and New Kids on
the Block.
O'Connor's solo tour is getting
her flack from all sides. Her refusal
to allow the playing of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" before a
concert was decidedly unpopular.
She replied to the criticism saying
that she did not want anv national
anthem played before one of her
shows, not even the Irish national
anthem.

leaves me clueless as to what the

Buck will once again join his
band's former opening act in the
studio. The Pogues, one of my favorite
bands, are recording Hell's

leader Joe Strummer, a longtime
friend of the group who is sitting
in as producer. This might incite a
partial return to the band's former

again, the Pogues are definitely
not for the faint of heart. Due out

sometime soon is the final piece of
work from the late Stevie Ray
Vaughan. Vaughan and his
brother Jimmie had just finished
recording their album when Stevie
Ray was killed in a helicopter
crash. The hype alone ought to sell
a lot of albums, but anything done
by Stevie Ray would have to be
good. There's no word on any release
dates.
On the Road: Billy Idol with
Faith No More hits Chapel Hill,
N.C. on Sept. 26. The effect of
Idol's continuing operations and
recovery from his motorcycle accident
on his show is unknown. His
spirits seem high enough, but the
painful muscle and skin grafts may
limit what he can do on stage.
Robert Plant and The Black

on Oct. 18. Look for a review of
The Black Crowes' new album as
the concert gets closer. And for
those of you who would go to any
lengths to see those wonderful

Chile's National Stadium will be

soon be available through Amnesty's

Young's reunion with his on-andoff
band since 1969 proves typical
for Young, but it won't get as
good of reviews as his last album
did. With Dave Stewart and the
Spiritual Cowboys, Eurythmics'
music man goes in his chosen direction,
with mixed results, proving
that good intentions don't
necessarily produce a good album.
Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo

Instead, what you get is a focus
on human interaction (from a

conflicts that occur. These movies
are also filled with moments

You would think that mixing
these elements would create a
powerful movie, but instead all
the audience gets is the same old
thing. It's not bad, but it's not
nearly as good as it should be.
The fault is not in the acting.
The star actresses are at the top
of their form. Streep is especially

star, struggling to make it
