CARL ARRINGTON. Carl's the new rock writer at the Free Press since Chris Brown departed for a sunnier clime, and he's already made his mark with a perceptive profile of Patti Smith that was picked up and run by the Knight chain of newspapers.
BILL BAILEY. Bill's voice over WDRQ's airwaves is long dark and mellow. Coincidently, so is he.
KURBSTONE BEAUTEAZE. One of the hottest new groups locally, the Beauteaze are an explosive mixture of the Tubes, Iggy and Alice, presenting a theatrical satire of sex, violence and rock 'n' roll that may offend liberated ladies: For one number the lead singer grips a girl by the throat while he sings about her perfidy and slowly shoves her to the floor, where blood oozes out of her mouth. Naked women are also hired to attack the lead singer. Bring the family.
