have a good hum.
The Bee Gees are best known for their tremulous vocal style, vast Grand Canyon harmonies and symphonic lushness, and lyrics that could out-Mary Worth Mary Worth. Everyone does need a little sugar in his diet and there are enough sweets on "Life in a Tin Can" (RSO) to choke a moose. The listener needs only to let his guard down, hum along and not worry over it or get scared of it at his sympety best. The Bee Gees obviously have the gift of melody (although the same one seems to recur with new words every so often) and the knack for making even the most mawkish lyrics ring true.
For this LP, the brothers Gibb have combined a spate of superstar sidenes, harmonica right out of a dog food commercial, some trendy pedal steel guitar, a cello and a drum, something enjoyable to buff and buffon alike. If your sentimental side demands satisfaction and buying a Mary Hopkin album would be going too far, buy this one and let yourself
Pseudo-sensitive Sam Nelly tries for a similar effect on "Sam Neely 2" (Capitol) and muffs it, joining legions of muckrockers who are spewing reams and reams of this adolescent wimpy glop all over yer radio. The song's quality is equally called emotion and his music sady lacks it. The lyrics声声 as if he composed them in the John of a Trailwalk bus during a long trip, and wherever added the violins must've filtered them through a quart of room. And the sound that one over and in its stead the new Jerry Jeff Walker album (Decca).
Most of Jerry Jeff's songs were recorded in one take in Austin, Texas, with the result of creating a very easy, very loose, very good record. Because it puts the emphasis on the lyrics, the album's simplicity adds a lot of depth and meaning to the images and emotion, and the backup musicians (David Bromberg among them) sound as if they felt it, too. This album is not an example of a star with a name and sessionmen with a lot of luchter licks together to market a product, but of friends singing down to make good music They do.
JESUS FESTIVAL: The festival will feature Roger Vann as the special speaker and other speakers and the Jesus People Singers will also take part, 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Big Eight Room of the Union. Admission will be free.

"Reefer Madness" was made in 1936 to be a health film. The film begins with a high school principal talking to a group of parents about the scourge of the drug abuse, even though, even according to contemporary attitudes. But then the scene changes.
'Reefer Madness' Is Back
A high school kid takes a drag of the stuff, and things go bananas. The film moves through scenes of orgies, murder and insane behavior this reviewer has never even remotely thought to associate with marijuana.

The film is so inaccurate that you shouldn't even feel insulted, unless you feel insulted at slapstick comedy. It's the same type of thing; it's funny, but the humor gets thin after a while. The last part of the film is so bad — I wish I could put that in italics—
that it's ladicrous, but by that time you're worn out to laugh at it.
"Reefer Madness" was shown at a special Saturday midnight late show, which sold out. It will also play on a regular basis at Hillcrest 1, Feb. 14-20.
