TN QNE £AR The Dead require no defense. Anyone who's been there knows there's noth ing like a Graiefui Dead concert And to date. Dead Set is the next best thing to being there Congratulations on your mention of Community Jobs magazine in the November issue (Off-Beat Maga zines). As a long-time fan of this one-of-a kind resource, it's great to see it start get ting some of the attention it deserves, there aren t many places these days where you can find people offering solutions to this country's problems, instead of merely list ing them I only hope you don t start going the way of some other publications — giving public ity to a good cause without letting people know how to get in touch. How about print ing their address? Any help this magazine gets is a help for all of us. Forgive our oversight In answer to many requests, the address for Community Jobs is 1520 Sixteenth Street ATT, W ashington DC 20036 f-p he plural of opus is OPERA For your information, the plural of opus ("The Future of the Spent Forces. p.6) is opera. The article on The Pris oner [Nov. issue] was terrific — now how about one on doctor Who? Rosalie McFall Isla Vtsta. CA Robert Wbtm Torrance.

Arne Collins .Vo Address I am extremeh offended by the Jensen Audio ad that you ran in the December issue (on page 8). .As a male, 1 cannot sa^ that 1 know whai it is like to be treated as a sex object," but 1 do feel that such ads not only demean women, but also men, too, because they portray us as lustful, sex obsessed. and selfish I really like your magazine, and I feel that bands such as the Go-Go's, X and the Pre tenders show that women have a lot to con tribute to rock. It would be a shame for as piring women artists to be discouraged by the attitude that is expressed in the Jensen ad. Christopher Herlihy Camhndge MA Seu Contributors L. R.

Sue Smith (In Print) lives in Bowling Green, Ohio, where she teaches some thing called Popular Literature Mysteries, among others So "nobody can quite account for Fri days finding its audience among ' young teens and even children, and it's the musical acts that may be responsible for tffc hoots and whcxips ai the slightest mention of drugs and sex 5 A more likely explanation for both phenomena is that Fndcns juvenile humor appeals to luvemle viewers .An elderly 26, I find the show con sistently unfunny and a poor third to satur day Sight Live and Second Cit\ among the late-night comedy shows .As for Mark Blankfield's soon-to-be first movie. 1 don t blame producer John Moffra for forgetting Incredible Sbrtnktng tf oman Chuck Pearson Eugene. Or I would like to express some of my thoughts on the articles in your Nov 81 issue about the Rolling Stones, particu lark the review of Tattoo You On page 6 you repeatedly mention Jagger s spent force statement and critics blast every album as not saying anything 1 say the press is rehashing, the Stones said years ago that it was only Rixic and Roll in their opinion. At its simplest, it’s a danceahle backbeat, re petitious chord work, and an R&R attitude Tattoo more than fits this criterion And comparing the old guard to the new wave is as fruitless as comparing pre 66 rock to post '67. VThat did the new wave do' They returned to the roots of rtxk, a simplistic driving rebellious sound Others like the Specials. Selector, the Beat returned to the root of reggae ska' And how about the heavy metal renaissance' And rxiw Lvdon, the Clash, Heads and others have expand ed into a poly-rhythmic, spaces, jungle (OMIGod! Psychedelic1') sound You know that sounds like whai the Beatles, the Stones and others did in the Sixties Like a recy cling, so it seems Mick is in tune to the real deal, telling it like it is Open your minds' The SV63 stars made competent rock while the 64-'S upstarts broke new ground Now the throne is again being passed on Tattoo You is Rtxk and Roll, pure and simple I kmald A S/ttUer Lexmiprjn K) QUT "pHE QTHER Can They' Handle It? tjridays hopes to come to the big screen .£ producer John Muffin says that, should the first draft script be approved by ABC Motion Pictures, they should go into pro duction tn spring or, at the latest, summer The film may not be titled Fridays, but the word Fridays will appear somewhere Moffin said He added that it will be a caper adventure, hopefully, in die nature of Raiders of the Lost Ark The show's regular performers will ' play themselves and some of their characters." although the film will have a complete story, not a collection of sketches. Hou Many Pirates Does It Take to Scuttle a Good Thing? rHE pirate movie starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins (who’s put on a couple of years since Blue Lay,<xjnaccord ing to our favorite flack) is now filming in Australia. Sure enough, it's The Pxrates of Penzance sort of. It’s a contemporary youth picture with lots of music — some of it from the Gilbert & Sullivan plav The new songs are by Terry Britten, who has worked with Cliff Richard (writing Devil Woman for him, among others) Meanwhile, The Pi rates of Penzance, the one starring Linda Ronstadt and Kevin Kline, is now rolling in London and is cleaving unto the original G&S version And there is yet a third ver sion scheduled for BBC-TV, written by Monty Python’s Eric Idle Avast1 Belav this!
