westerns* • arolinian Blues ? movie Brothers 2000 by Alex Esmon "Blues Brothers 2000" is an amusing film but when it's all said and done and you're walking out of the theater with a hollow feeling, you can't help but reflect upon the fullness and life of "The Blues Brothers." The parallels between "Blues Brothers 2000" and "The Blues Brothers" are numerous enough to fill a small car, starting with the opening scenes. If you recall. "The Blues Brothers" opens with Jake (played by the deceased John Belushi) being released from prison. Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) shows up in a police car to take him "home." "Blues Brothers 2000" opens with Elwood being released from prison, but Jake never shows up. Unfortunately, while Elwood was incarcerated for eighteen years, Jake died. I guess he wasn't the type to write letters. Eventually, Elwood makes it back to see The Penguin only to find that his only real father figure, Curtis (originally played by the deceased Cab Calloway) has also passed on. Elwood is given no time to mourn though, as he is given a young boy by the name of Buster (J. Evan Bonifant) to watch over for the day. The Penguin also imparts a small bit of wisdom to Elwood: Curtis had a real son who never knew that Curtis was his father. Elwood takes it upon himself to find this young man called "Cab" (a blatant homage to the deceased singer) and tell him who his real father was. Elwood soon discovers, though, that Cab (Joe Morton) is a commander in the Illinois State Police. Thanks to Buster, Elwood winds up with Cab's wallet and thus begins the mayhem. Elwood gets into even more trouble after forgetting to return Buster to the Penguin. In the meantime, Elwood man ages to upset the Russian mafia and a backwoods militia group. He's a very busy man. This plot is thin, and the characters lack any of the real vibrancy which flowed out of "The Blues Brothers." Many of the same cast members are in "Blues Brothers 2000" that were in the first but, my oh my, is it ever depressing. Matt "Guitar" Murphy has a slight stoop and he sags. Alan "Mr. Perfect" Rubins has lost a lot of hair and what's left is a lovely shade of white, Aretha Franklin in her tropical Mu-Mu resembles the produce aisle at the fresh market, and "Blue" Lou Marini looks like he stuck his finger in an electric outlet. These guys weren't supposed to age! Much like its predecessor, this film relies upon sight gags, crazy carchases.cameos of famous blues and R & B musicians and an outstanding soundtrack. It delivers the goods with the soundtrack and the famous musicians, but falls flat on everything else. Appearing in the film are as follows: The Blues Brothers Band, Blues Traveler, Aretha Franklin, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, Johnny Lang, Eddie Floyd, The Carl Lafong Trio, Paul Shaffer, Erykah Badu, The Butterfield Blues Band, Wilson Pickett, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, B.B. King, Gary Bonds, Eric Clapton, Steve "Movie Guy," Continued on page 6 Ifeatures February 11,1998 £jf Clench's Tanning Highway 107 South At Glendas Phillips 66 Gas & Grocery Call for Apppointment at 293-5015 First Time Customers Get First Visit Free!!!

A MUSICAL VALENTINE The Asheville Symphony's 37th season continues on Saturday, February 14th. At 8 p.m., in Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, Music Director Robert Hart Baker will conduct a Valentine-themed concert featuring the music of Tchaikovsky, John Williams, Sarasate, and Sibelius. The guest artist for the evening will be Sandy Yamamoto, playing the well-known Gypsy Airs of Spanish composer Pablo de Sarasate, one of the great violin virtuosos of the late 19th century. The piece is also known as Ziguenerweisen, the German title of its first edition. Yamamoto is from Chapel Hill and is currently a second year master's student at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The winner of numerous competitions, her most recent award was the highly prestigious first prize in the Darius Milhaud Performance Prize Competition. In keeping with the Valentine's theme, the orchestra will begin the program with Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture. Music lovers will be interested in the fact that the performance will be of Tchaikovsky's first version of the piece, written in 1869. The musical score is somewhat different from the more familiar third version which the composer revised 11 years later. "Three Pieces from Schindler 's List" is a selection from the music composed by John Williams in 1993 for the monumental Steven Spielberg movie about Oscar Schindler and the Holocaust. The concert program will also feature two pieces by the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, Valse triste and the Symphony No. 5 in E-flat, Opus 82. These pieces date from 1903 and 19I5 respectively, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the work of one of the greatest composers of northern Europe. The Asheville Symphony is known as one of the finest professional orchestras in the Caroli- nas. The February event is the fourth of six concerts on its Masterworks Series at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville. Tickets for this and other concerts range in price from $ 12 to $34, with discounts available for students, seniors, and subscribers. Music Department Hosts Visiting Scholar, Faculty Recital by Stacey Ruiz Paul Merkelo, the principal trumpet of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, will be spending five days visiting at WCU, from February 7- 13 as part of the Visiting Scholars Program. Merkelo has held the principal trumpet position for both the New Orleans Symphony and Rochester Philharmonic orchestras. In 1995 he won the principal trumpet position in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, acclaimed as one of the world's greatest ensembles. During his visit, Merkelo will coach faculty and student chamber ensembles, discuss his career as a professional musician, present a trumpet master class, and perform a recital. His recital will take place on Thursday, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m. in the Coulter recital hall. The program will include Bloch's "Proclamation," Bizet's "Carmen Fantasy," Verne Reynold's "Calls and Echoes," and several Gustav Mahler pieces arranged by Merkelo. P. Bradley Ulrich and Lillian Pearson will be assisting on trumpet and piano. All events are free and open to the public. Lillian Pearson will have her own performance, along with another WCU professor. Will Peebles. At 8p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17, they will present their recital of music illustrating the history of the bassoon. Peebles will be performing on four different historical bassoons, as well as playing the kortholt, rackett, dulcian, contrabassoon and contrabass sarrusophone. Pearson will perform on the harpsichord, fortepiano and piano. The program will include works by Bertoli, Schaffrath, Saint-Saens, Hindemith and Gordon Jacob. Following the performance, audience members are invited to go on stage and view the instruments. This concert will also be free and open to the public. For more information on either of these events, call the music department at (704) 227-7242.
