...human-skin cape, be privy to a grave robbing or pornographic home movie co-starring a U.S. Vice President, and (perhaps most obscene of all) listen to the tape of a Roman Catholic's bugged confession. Yet behind such lubricious props, The Alchemist is a brisk, semi-tough study of power and love, the intoxications of public life and non-negotiable private satisfactions...
Kidder has had more to do with Harvard's semi-respectable showing this year than any other single player, though Brian Fearnett comes close. Kidder has shut out the opposition three times so far; he is exactly even with his pace of a year ago, when he picked up six shutouts in the season.

In either case, Hicks, sans Licks, will appear Sunday night at Symphony Hall, probably playing the same undefinable mish-mash of rock, jug-band, and jazz-type numbers he played with his group. Nobody on the newsboard had any of his records, so I dug up one semi-authoritative opinion: "His music's like thirties' jazz mixed in with a soap commercial." But the consensus is he's fun to hear...
