THIS is a musical, so complications arise, every one an excuse for the cast to break into a Busby Berkeley-style number. Jackie shines in all of these, especially the infectiously up-beat and hummable "He's Got Body, He's Got Soul." No slouches either are the Wombatts, Jackie's back-up band, played by the real life members of The Swingers, whose anties conjure up early Beatles movies. But perhaps the best song and dance, or rather song and swim routine occurs when Jackie is invited to Tony Lambert's all male gay pool party. The result...
...consternation among the bishops, who seriously discuss Orwell's analogy to modern man-who "did not notice...that it was absolutely necessary that the soul be cut away"-ring truer than any of L 'Engle's accounts of death, shame and estrangement.

Hot Lips will practice her yoga and do her nails. Henry will accidentally...
...least in the studio the tendency to stray was checked. On stage at. The Rat Saturday, the group often appeared to have lost control. The opener was Neil Young's "Mr. Soul," an amplified treat that excited the audience. "When You Smile" followed, so honestly sung that the lyrics. "Well it seems like the end of the world when you smile," gained credibility they never had on record, and "Definitely Clean," featured catchy playing and an engaging beat. Pushing towards the stage, people began to jump about and dance. Then the performance fell apart...
