The constitutional amendment proposed by Hatch would have to be ratified by the states, and the influence of the Reagan administration may not be strong enough to get the amendment passed.

Their new material is certainly up to their standards, just wasn't enough of it a professor (Chapman) rectifying the compromises with Gilliam Jones and Palin, complete with a Three Stooges pine board and lots of cream pies a filmed retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood legend, with Cleese, Ms. Hoood, captures the spirit of all, another filled skim whitener the German philosophes (Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, et al.) played soccer against the Greek philosophes (Soccer), in appropriate costumes, they dashed onto the field and fell immediately into deep personal contemplation, until Archimedes yelled "Eureka!" or "Eurekai!" he maniacs must have existed only in the imagination... you get the picture.

With the enormous size and eratric sound of the Bowl, and with the relative paucity of new material, I kept wondering why the Pyramid was doing so well. It was indeed the performances for theatrical or television distribution, it seems a bit of a cheat to include so many skits that already been seen. Much as this group has had the privilege of losing tents and painting, but no climax, no enclosure,
Yes
A new Yes set the crowd aile in the Capital Centre on this breezy evening. Rick Wakeman and John Anderson are out; Geoff Dowden and Trevor Horn, respectively, replace them.
CAPITAL CENTRE, WASHINGTON, DC
Horn is the new vocalist, quite a challenge in the wake of Anderson's high tenor and the band's ten-year reliance on his voice. Horn can't hit Anderson's heightily chordal lines in the songs from Drama, the latest YES release.
The balance of power but Yes still suns the flames
Geoff Dowden brought texture to the keyboard station at the expense of Wakeman's flash and fun. Dowdes's solo was a medley of the "Bugles" video Killed the Radio Star, which drew absolutely no recognition from the audience. Perhaps Dowden didn't realize the difference between IM and AM tunes but surely he didn't realize that Horse and Dowdes were the Bugles.
Ampersand
There was considerable egp space left onstage for Howe and Squire, and use it they did. Both show signs of age. Howe is working on a bald spot, and Square has added quite a few pounds. They put ten years of partnership experience to work, and Yes *burned*. The balance of power has shifted.

"There's a difference in the rhythm now," songwriter Knopfer says of the album, "Pick (Witers, drummer) and John've become my favorite rhythm section. I don't feel I've come on like they have. They're great," he says. "It might be a little, maybe, and Tom Vernie's Television, they're good. But we've got the same level now. It's a tightness in the sound and feel." The band
"The clubs here are marvelous," raves Knopfer and Ilsley nod emphatically. "There's nothing like an American club; you can rock the out of the place."
Locking sleep, friendly and Englishman-alongside the beach-sunned office workers, Mark Knoppler, centrifugal force of Dire Straits, and bassist John Illsley are wandering the corridors of Warner Bros. Records in New York. They're on holiday from the making of *Motives*, their third album, recorded in new weeks at Nassau's Compound studio. Coffee is thrust into stations on phone incessantly, demanding over the phone interviews.
"We don't go out to play to make money—you don't make any money. Money and music don’t really go together. If you can cover costs that’s fine. That’s what we do."
The Straits are an eccentric lot among megaband band peers. They're not only studio mibble, they love to tour—at least this half does.

Meanwhile, the bristling machinery of Warner Bros. Records produces thousands, soon to be millions, of the new LP. With awesome precision, the album will surface in record stores mid-tour.
They will, however, be down one man this tour—David Knopter, who's gone in search of his own career.
When asked where the other Strait had gone, Knother said Pied Piper in London with his pregnant wife. A short account of their lives can be found.
Since Roy Brittain, former Bruce Springsteen pianist, and Sid McGinnis, recently on guitar with Peter Gabriel, guessed on *Making Movies*, it's likely they might appear on the road.

THE ENGLISH BEAT I Just Can't Stop It
(1972) The English Best know how to make a mean curveball. Two blades and three whites from Birlingham who are part of the British ska revival that includes the Specials, Black and Madness, the Darkness, black and white songs so quickly and defy that one emerges from their debut album wondering how the hell did it is; the frenzied "Click Click" sko or rock or roll? With "Walt Disney's music" the song in "Best Friend" Or, for that matter, a byads single-instrument lute in "Two Swords"?
Beats me. But I can say this I just *Can't Stop It* is a landmark album. A good place to start is with their *Moonlight*, the hit, *Tits of a Crown*. Last the grand introductory riff, the Bate pitches a rhythm that is speedy, tense, seeming out of whatch it can do. The rest of the chasing the sex or is it the other way around? With tracks靴 of scratchy guitar work, saxy bass runs and exotic six passages, the beat creates a comfortable, reusable and disinfectible urban. One can practically hear the buzz of the neon.
