KOKO TAYLOR A N D HER BLUES M A C H IN E • •
M e d i t - C u l t u r a l
Koko Taylor and her Blues Machine made their Portland debut at the Reed
College Commons last Sunday, to a very receptive audience. It was strictly a
••student a ffa ir” with the exception o f K B O O ’s George Page, myself, and a
few other people from the media Koko Taylor and her musical aggregation
hail from Victoria, Canada where their popularity around the city is unequal.
According to Pop Taylor, road manager and Koko's husband, “ at first
Koko flatly refused to consider singing as a profession because she didn’t think
she was good enough. But I persisted and threatened to divorce her (smile) and
surprisingly she said O K .” Pop Taylor was originally the lead guitarist with the
group but health problems finally forced him to give up the guitar for a
business suit and the group has been steadily climbing the ladder to success.
The Blues Machine entertained — and the audience was receptive to every
note. However, in every blues band I've ever seen or heard there is always a
saxophone player. Unfortunately the Blues Machine doesn't have one, which is
a definite disadvantage in terms o f the overall blues sound. Generally the band
was good but there is room for improvement.
In past years entertainers, particularly singers, tend to flow through their
routines and save their more popular numbers until last. But as o f late the big
crescendo numbers are coming first, mainly to promote more excitement and
participation from the audience.
Koko Taylor came out belting the blues and dancing, which had everyone in
attendance patting their feet, clapping their hands and dancing halfw ay
through her first number! She could do no wrong the rest o f the evening — ex
cept leave the stage — only to come back on for an encore o f two more songs.
Reed College will never be the same!!

ZSA ZSA QABOR
International film star Zsa Zsa Gabor was in town the other night at the Red
Lion M o to r Inn at Jantzen Beach. Hosted by the Montgomery W ard Auto
Club, Ms. Gabor is Goodwill Ambassador for the club. According to Ms.
Gabor her Rolls Royce Comiche stopped running one afternoon and she called
W ard’s A uto Club and was impressed with their efficient service. She was later
contacted by the company and asked to head up their national campaign for the
Auto C lub. Ms. Gabor later donated the Rolls to the W a rd ’s A uto Club Super-
Sweepstakes.
The reception was intimate with
only about twenty people in atten
dance. Comprised o f the press and
Montgomery W ard executives, the
conversation was very relaxed and
fluid. I f you're asking what is Zsa
Zsa Gabor really like?
W e ll, being around her only a
couple o f hours I couldn’t possibly
know. But I was very impressed with
her overall appearance, intelligence
and can did conversation. W h ich
is the reason I don't have much to
write about her, but fo llo w ing is
some inform ation on Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Zsa Zsa Gabor has starred in over 40 films. H er first film was “ M oulin
Rouge.” O ther films include: "L o v e ly T o L ook A t ,” “ L ili,” “ Jack o f
Diam onds," “ Death o f a Scoundrel,” “ A rrividerci,” “ Baby,” “ M a rti H a ri,”
“ We A re N ot M arried ,” “ Three Ring Circus” and "Queen o f Outer Space.”
Her films have been made in France. England, Germany, Italy and Spain. Her
films are always made in the native language.
Miss Gabor made her Broadway debut as the star o f “ Forty Carats.” She
also starred in Noel Cow ard’s “ Blithe S p irit," breaking all existing theater
records.
A star o f over 300 m ajor television productions, Zsa Zsa has appeared with
Bob H ope, Jack Benny, Frank Sinatra. Dean M a rtin . Red Skelton and Jerry
Lewis. She has been twice nominated for an Emmy A w ard. Her wit has made
her a guest star on the Johnny Carson. Joey Bishop, M erv G riffe n , M ike
Douglas and Dinah Shore Shows.
Also, an author. Miss Gabor wrote her own autobiography; " Z s a Zsa
Gabor: M y Story,” “ H ow T o Catch A M a n .” “ H ow T o Keep A M a n ” and
“ H ow T o G et R id O f A M a n .” She is presently w ritin g her second
autobiography.
The Hollyw ood Foreign Press Association has voted Miss Gabor the Most
Glamorous Actress in the W orld, five seasons in a row. Alliance Française
chose her as the Best-Liked American actress in France. The C alifo rn ia
couturiers voted her their Best-Dressed award on several occasions. Further
more, Miss Gabor has received numerous awards from many civic, cultural and
charitable organizations in the United States and the world.

“The Church H here No Stranger Feel» Strange”
Williams asks China friendship
R o b ert W illia m s , fo rm e r exile
from the United States, told a Port
land State University audience not to
judge China by their own theoretical
standards. “ D on’t find fault with the
Chinese people fo r picking them
selves up out o f the m ud.” Williams
com plained th at " le ftis ts ” spend
their time theorizing and fighting
am ong them selves, co m p la in in g
ab o u t the “ heracies” o f o th er
p eop le’ s re v o lu tio n s instead o f
m aking th e ir own re v o lu tio n at
home.
W illia m s ,
who was elected
president o f the M o n ro e , N o rth
Carolina N A A C P in 1961, fled the
United States after he was charged
with kidnapping during civil rights
actions. He went to Cuba, where he
stayed for five years, then lived in
China until 1969.
In C h in a d u rin g the C u ltu ra l
Revolution, Williams blamed many
o f the excesses on American agents.
Contrary to popular belief, nationals
o f many countries live in China and
are not pressured to accept Marxism
or Chinese cultural traditions. A c
co rd in g to W illia m s , d u rin g the
C u ltu ra l R e v o lu tio n o f 1964,
Americans and others were at the
forefront o f the movement and it
was they who sacked the British Em
bassy, bringing embarassment to the
Chinese leaders.
W illiam s said some good came
from the Cultural Revolution but in
the process a large number o f the in
tellectu als were lost and the
mechanization o f the country was
impeded. This did grave damage to
the economy and made China more
dependent on other countries. He
believes the “ Gary o f F o u r,” who
were rem oved fro m pow er a fte r
M o a ’s death, were responsible for
some o f the excesses but probably
were not as bad as co m m only
believed.
Williams, who is representing the
U .S .-C h in a Friendship Com mittee,
emphasized that China needs friends
and that to be a friend does not mean
to agree. W illia m s said he was
welcomed to China and cared for
there, yet not allow ed to express
criticism and was not pressured to
conform or to become a M a rx is t/
Lenenist, which he is not.
For the U .S ., W illiam s advocates
self-determination from Blacks. “ In
tegration is the civilized way, but in
this country we’ re apparently not
civilized and probably never w ill
be.”
