47 (cb St _ L / l {o | ] g Fine family diningâ€"a tradition since 1962 On Flash, which features an unusual cross section of musicians (including exâ€"Wet Willie vocalist Jimmy Hall, drummer Carmine Appice and ex Mahavishnu Jan Hammer), Rodgers molds the di verse backgrounds into his typical blend of upbeat pop and funk. However, any indications of indi vidual showmanship are quickly harnessed as Rodgers refuses to deviate from the mainstream Other than "People Get Ready". a long overdue reunion of Beck and Rod Stewart, most of the songs have a faceless quality to them. Beck himself has never been able to bridge the medium be tween taking a minimalist ap Flash is his first foray into electrobeat and his choice of proâ€" ducer Nile Rodgers is obviously a commercial move. Rodgers, a kind of leftâ€"wing Quincy Jones, has remodelled the likes of David Bowie by applying his patented buffâ€"andâ€"lacquer formula for shipâ€" ment to the MOR crowd. Although generally acknowâ€" ledged as one of rock‘s foremost guitarists, Jeff Beck has promised oodles but in many cases, failed to deliver the goods. Essentially a live performer, his muchâ€"copied, muchâ€"ballyhooed guitar heroics have never quite materialized on vinyl. As eclectic as he is enigmatic, Beck has worn a number of hats but never found one that fits. From his rock/blues beginnings with the Yardbirds, his musical stances since have run the gamut from hard rock to jazz and funk.

Not as antiâ€"establishment as say Lenny Bruce but less apologetic than Bob Hope, Yankovic main tains an even keel, preferring not to bite the hand that feeds him. As such, it with be interesting to see whether or not parody becomes selfâ€"parody. "I Want a New Duck" pokes fun at the lameness of Huey Lewis and ‘"Hooked on Polkas", a perfect vehicle for Al‘s accordion pyro technies, is like a Schmenge Brothers tribute to the "Hooked on fad. ‘‘"‘Girls Just Want to Have Lunch" is an inoffensive, sexist takeoff of Lauper‘s "Girl‘s Just Want to Have Fun" while "Like a Surgeon‘"‘ is a hilarious spoof of the nauseating Madonna‘s "Like a Virgin®‘‘. Dare to be Stupid is another collection of parodies directed at the pomposities that pesvade the outer limits of pop music, the lunatic fringe the Madonna‘s and the Cyndi Laupers call home. What‘s strange about Weird Al Yankovic is not so much the fact that the majority of his targets are even more weird, but that their audience in turn may be just as off centred. proach and flogging the extended solo, and as a result, he has often shortchanged the listener. It is no surprise then, that the elegant, uninhibited playingâ€"on Blow by Blow is the reason why that album remains the highpoint of his caâ€" reer.
