...making music, Wallach concedes that the record industry views “artists as commodities,” and that “only 3-5% of all major record label records make a profit each year.” However, the lead singer is confident that the band can succeed if they push hard now to combine “high quality music with public acceptance.” The group aggressively promotes its website, www.chesterfrench.com, and plans on freely distributing a seven song EP (tentatively scheduled to be out by reading period). They?...
Other students take an interest in the business side of music. Jack P. McCambridge ’06 manages Call the Cops. Because of his extensive work with student bands, the Undergraudate Council (UC) Campus Life Committee and the UC Concert Commission, McCambridge is well-schooled in the dynamics of live shows and knows the complex hierarchy of Boston-area venues. With each successful (read: crowd-drawing) performance, a band can proceed to a better locale and time slot. McCambridge believes in “ponying up ahead of time.” A band with a manager, he says...
Steve Miller Band. I bought their first album in the basement record department of the JJ Newberry's in Plymouth, New Hampshire. I'm not sure why.

Before this tour started, there were even rumors that the Dead and the Allmans would play a string of nine hour marathons across America. I think it's all too bad, because I genuinely love the Allman Brothers. I once got close enough to Dicky...
...today's terror-struck world, war has evolved far beyond one nation fighting another [March 29]. Now a globally dispersed band of Islamist assassins, worshippers of death, blow themselves to bits along with as many innocent victims as possible. The civilized people of the world, regardless of nationality, must devise brand-new strategies for dealing with crazed terrorists. The U.S.'s unilateral actions seem only to be inflaming them. The U.N.'s practices of negotiation, inquiry, mediation and judicial settlement won't work against deranged extremists who hide behind religion, nor will sending troops to trouble spots...
