When the lights finally did go down, the surrealness of the entire situation was realized in a bizarre way. Outstage appeared a giant muscled monster controlled as a puppet. I half-expected the band to appear from the creature like something out of the Power Rangers. When the band did emerge, though, they were wearing body suits adorned with day-glo paint. Each grabbed a lighted stick and did a trippy tribal dance. It was absolutely Disney World on acid...
...events in the New England area which are more like carnivals than raves or concerts, combining abstract beats, video experimentation and performance art in unorthodox spaces. A production last year, Junk, was staged in a church and featured junglists and punk rockers, with interludes of spoken word and political puppet theater. Free rice and beans were available, and the seven-hour show cost only $5. Upcoming events include Transformations in April at Boston University and Access in May at the Museum of Science. See the website (www.toneburst.com) for more information. The crew recently released their second compilation, Toneburst Collective...
...King told almost no one that he had returned home intending to replace his brother.

Still, it's too soon to predict that Congress will return to normal anytime soon. Flynt cheerfully declared last week that the Livingston reports were "just the beginning." He has a list, he said...
Smaltz's case was so weak that Espy's lawyers decided not to put on a defense. Douglas, an old friend of Espy's who was meant to be the prosecution's strongest witness, turned on Smaltz on the stand and said he'd agreed to become his "puppet" only after three years of "storm-trooper" tactics by the independent counsel. "God knows, if I had $30 million, I could find dirt on you, sir," Douglas told Smaltz in front of the jury. (The amount Smaltz actually spent, through March, was $17.5 million...
