Hopeful eyes were fixed upon Dennis Hopper's new film, Out of the Blue, expecting it to do for punk what Hopper's Easy Rider had done for communes and cocaine. Unfortunately, Out of the Blue keeps slipping back into country flowerhead basics with New Wave trim. It takes its title from Neil Young, dresses up Linda Manz (Days of Heaven) as a rebellious punkette who alternately sings Supertramp songs and punches safety pins through her face, and it glaringly dates the death of Elvis Presley incorrectly, somehow linking him with Sid Vicious...

More than two months of arduous workouts reduced him to fighting trim; he weighed in at 217% Ibs., the lightest he has been since 1974, when he won the title for the second time from George Foreman in Zaire...
Perhaps the greatest challenge to the economic justifications of the nuclear orthodoxy stems from the possibility of energy conservation.

Inside it is the model of a modern hall. Bulky chunks protrude from the walls in surprising places; neat rows of little mounds trim the loges and balconies. From the ceiling hang adjustable panels, and above the stage are 24 clear acrylic sound-reflector disks. From many locations the audience can see the orchestra mirrored in them. As an image it is not bad, for halls like the Davies are really a kind...
