Papular Demand was formed
passionately, persistently, and pro­
fessionally. The three members
engage an incredible mixture of
past, present and future music. With
Popular demands versatile vocals,
they captivate the listener and take
them into a realm o f R&B/Hip Hop/
Romance with a reggae splash. You
must hear them to truly understand
and appreciate their music. The taste
o f Popular Demand is craved and
we are confident their first compi­
lation will be consumed by Seattle.
While they are extremely unique,
they have stolen listeners from all
genres o f music and continue to do
so each and every day. Each and
every performance is met with larg­
er crowds and ecstatic responses
1995 showed Popu lar Demand great
success with their Ep Release (Pop­
ular Demand), hit song“Sara Smile”.
Their CD is selling extremely well,
now o f which is available at all
Seattle record stores both major and
independent. Popular Demand is
sure to be the most successful R&B
group ever to arise from the North­
west. The completed album will be
released soon so be sure to keep
your eyes and ears peeled.

Carl Weathers Joins Adam Sandler
In The Comedy “Happy Gilmore”
Carl Weathers stars with Satur­
day Night Live’s Adam Sandler in
Happy G i Imore, an outrageous com­
edy scheduled for release nation­
wide on February 16.
Weathers plays Chubbs Peterson,
the one-handed, down-and-out golf
pro, who tutors Happy (Sandler), an
unsuccessful hockey player, to con­
vert his slap shot into a crushing 400
yard tee show. Happy’s career takes
a I80degreesw ingandlandshim on
the Pro G olf Tour, where he turns
the game ofgolf into a contact sport.
Though Happy goes from the rink to
the links, he drives the game o f golf
straight into the ground.
W hileChubbs isamazed by Hap­
py’s long drive, he is nervous about
his short temper. G olf is a game o f
tradition, etiquette and above all,
sportsmanship. Happy doesn’t fit on
the manicured greens o fth e country
club. His outrageous antics pose a
challenge for Chubbs and causes an
uproar among the players and offi­
cials. However, Happy’s roughhouse
style does attracts hordes o f new blue
collar fans to the game o f golf.
^/hen it comes to a physical role,
who better to call than Carl Weathers.
After all, he’s the action-adventure
hero who looms large over the land for
his portrayals o f heavyweight boxing
Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky
films opposite Sylvester Stallone, the
Special Forces/CIA operative in Pred­
ator opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger
and his own urban law enforcement
hero Action Jackson.
