Two reasons to cease listening to Creed now Does anybody out there like Creed? I wish to send my deepest condo lences to anyone who answered “yes” to that question for two reasons. 1. Creed is absolutely awful. By listening to Creed, the person proves that he or she has made a conscious decision to listen to the worst music possible, thereby calling into serious question the judgment of said per son. In fact, it is my belief that the U.S. justice system would be better off if defendants could be found not guilty for reason they listen to Creed, which really goes hand-in-hand with temporary insanity. 2. Creed have been forced to can cel their current tour because lead bozo Scott Stapp was injured in a car accident on April 29 and was “advised by medical professionals to make this regrettable, but neces sary decision as he recuperates.” Don’t worry, Creed fans. Stapp’s gorgeously chiseled features and divine singing voice weren’t affect ed by the accident, and the band plans on rescheduling the canceled dates for this summer. Too bad. Hey ladies! Are you under 18? Have you had sex with R&B super star R. Kelly? If the answer to these questions is “yes,” then you may have just won thousands of dollars! Join the ever-growing list of mi nors who have allegedly had sex with and subsequently sued the au thor of “I Believe I Can Fly!” In 1998, Kelly settled with Tiffany Hawkins, who claimed that she was induced into group sex with the singer at the tender age of 15. The reported settlement: $250,000. Just this April, Kelly settled with another young (17 years old, to be exact) woman for similar reasons. And just this week, another suit was brought against R. “Bump and Grind” Kelly by yet another young woman, Patrice Jones. Jones claims that not only did she have sex with Kelly several times at the innocent age of 16, but he also coerced her into having an abortion. The nerve, R! The nerve! Kelly’s lawyer released a state ment saying that the suit was a “col lection of half-truths, distortions, and outright lies,” but I think R. just happens to be a generous guy that’s getting taken advantage of. I mean, he’s just spreading the love... right? By now, everybody knows about the sad and untimely death of TLC’s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes last week in a Hon duras car acci dent. However, there’s been a bizarre twist in the story. It turns out that just three weeks ago, also in Honduras, Lopes was a passenger in a car driven by her assistant Stephanie Pat In Stereo terson. During the drive, a 10 year-old boy jumped out in front of the car and was killed. Lopes and Patterson took the boy to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. Lopes footed the hos pital bill. In light of the incident, Patterson has stated that Lopes re mained calm and that “she truly believes in karma and everything happens for a reason. ” Apparently more so than she knew. And finally, there’s great news for Pixies fans everywhere. Way back in 1987, the best band ever (the Pixies, in case you were won dering) recorded a demo in order to land a record deal. As legend has it, the head of 4 AD records was so im pressed that he released eight of the tracks as “Come On Pilgrim,” the first Pixies album (well, it’s an EP, but you get the idea). Shockingly, there were nine more tracks from the so-called “Purple Tape” that didn’t make the cut. These tracks included “Broken Face” (later re-recorded for “Surfer Rosa”) and “Subbacultcha” (which didn’t get re-recorded until “Trompe le Monde,” the band’s final album). Here’s the news: The legendary “Purple Tape” is being officially re leased on July 9. Really, this is one of the most exciting bits of news that I’ve come across in a long while.

Fiesta Latina continued from page 7 festival at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Satur day is the debut of Ramsey y Los Montonos, a new 8-piece salsa or chestra hailing from Portland. Los Mex Pistols Del Norte will also present a new, stripped-down line up Saturday. Sunday, the festival will pre view Amy Joyce Mills, a mezzo soprano, who will interpret Mexi can songs. “She sings beautiful,” Urhausen said. “She is my dis covery of this year.” The festival also offers local and international artists showing paint ings, photos and sculptures. “These artists are from all walks I of life,” festival committee member William Kent said. “We have peo ple who have been in the event be fore, a few students and a girl from Springfield High School.” Kent, a University student, ac knowledges that most students will attend the festival because of the music, food and salsa danc ing. While his choice of artists may be lesser known to the com munity at large, he attempted to make people aware of the many aspects of Latin culture. “One weekend of Latin culture Festival remains alcohol-free During Fiesta Latina’s 11 sea sons, the question of serving al cohol has continued to haunt the committee that plans, organ izes and develops the festival. Each year, the committee de cides not to sell alcohol because they would rather portray the three-day festival as a family-ori ented event. “The fiesta is so safe this way,” committee Chairwoman Rebeca Urhausen said, “We’re trying to prove you can have a successful Cinco de Mayo cele bration without alcohol/' Urhausen said her group knows that selling alcohol may alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with such a party, but they have always re fused the temptation and will continue to do so. “We try to keep this a cultural event,” she said, —John Uebhardt may not be enough, but it’s a good way to introduce yourself to the cuisine, art and music.” E-mail Pulse and features editor John Uebhardt atjohnliebhardt@dailyemerald.com.
