...those kids stare at artists like Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Nick Lowe and Blondie, and at least they can tell that these groups have as little to do with the Sex Pistols as the Beatles had to do with the Partridge Family.

...Morrison will be at the Orpheum on Oct. 16 for two shows, with Rockpile (featuring Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds) as the warm-up group, the ad informs me in small type.
