European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 27, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Voices the stones Are still rolling to this fan by Sharon Randall Monterey county Herald got in big trouble with my Mother for going tothe rolling stones concert. No i Don t mean 30 years ago when i was a teen Ager. I mean three weeks ago when i was a Middle aged woman and according to her should have had better sense. She seemed particularly galled by the fact that also took my husband and our two College age Chil Dren.  possessed you to expose them to such corruption she asked. I Don t know i said. What possesses you Lochew tobacco that is my stopper question. I use it whenever feel the need to change directions in my Mother s Stream of thought it stops her cold every  Don t do that anymore she snapped. It costs too much. Besides it s Nasty. So How s your weather a ., weather was Fine at the Oakland coliseum the night we saw the stones a Cool Clear autumn evening just right for taking in an outdoor event. World series weather without the baseball the grass on the a s infield looked great. I guess it s easier to keep it up with nobody playing on it. Our seats were not terrific but they were decent in the lower deck Between Home plate and first base. We watched the concert two ways at once up close on a giant video screen and far off on the stage out in Center Field where the stones looked More like Sticks. It occurred to me that the whole thing could have been faked and most folks would t have had a clue. Even if they d known i doubt they d have  were too Busy having a Good time. Especially in our Section. Never before outside of carnival tent Sand shrines conventions have i seen such a fun Loving Cross Section of humanity. Two rows Down sat a Bunch of Large Burly tattooed men either hell s Angels or hell s Angel wannabees who were celebrating some son of re Union. Behind them and directly in front of surfaces were the backsides of half a dozen teen agers who seemed intent on standing for the entire performance. ". A. To our left was an affectionate group of Youn couples whose pairings seemed to change with regu Larity. I never did figure out just who was with whom until one Guy got sick and threw up. I assumed the Young woman who used her sweater to clean him Upas probably going to be his woman for life. To our right was a Stocky Silver haired woman wearing bifocals and a Hunting Vest and sensible shoes who clapped offbeat and Sang the words to every song right along with Mick. And behind us sat a Row of quiet nondescript fairly forgettable individuals save for one a Middle aged Man with an inordinate amount of body hair who removed his shirt and danced half naked his belly swinging Side to Side and butting the Back of my head.  i do like to see folks having a Good time Don you i like being in a big crowd with All sorts of interesting looking people laughing and clapping and. Singing along to the music. I especially like it if they stay Friendly and Don t try to beat me up. And you could t have asked for a much friendlier crowd than this. But that s not Why i  went to see the stones. I went to recall beast of Burden and satisfaction and jumping Jack Flash among other memories. I went to see miracles. Keith Richards still  d have believed it Mick Jagger still ugly sounding better than Ever holding a stadium full of people Young and old alike captive in the Palm of his hand. I went because i wanted my children to see their parents not just As mom and dad but As people who were Young once who once listened to music with the volume full blast and did t care what the neighbors thought and who still like to get Dowson occasion. And maybe i went because i knew How much i would Gall my Mother. But mostly i went for the music. Like the son says i know it s Only Rock v Roll but i like it. Script Howard Newt serve Milton Berle s does t quite fit by Kevin Cowherd Baltimore Sun imm  of wonder Why people Are so disillusioned Why so Many have taken to Downing fistfuls of prozac like they re tic tacs and then you see this Milto Berle has a new exercise video. I thought the whole medium had pretty much scraped Rock Bottom when Zsa Zsa Gabor released her fitness tape work out with the glamorous Zsazsa a while Back. At the time Zsa Zsa was hardly in ahem tip to physical condition. In her Blue and White jumpsuit she had the same sleek look As an offensive lineman for the Dallas cowboys. Plus her image was All wrong for an exercise video. The heavy makeup the gobs of jewelry the Faux aristocratic bearing All of it screamed this is a woman who has never perspire let alone worked up a Good sweat. But Milton Berle s Low Impact High comedy workout is even More alarming if that s possible combining As it does the crushing boredom of Aero bics with Uncle Millie s patented Cornball gags and tasteless skits. In one he plays a mincing Richard Simmons in another he s in drag As Jane Fonda Complete with Cone shaped breasts. Believe me after 10 minutes of this you find your self praying for saturday night live and thinking boy that Adam Sandler s a scream the Berle tape also Breaks new ground by being the Only workout video in recent memory in which the Host does not do any of the exercises at Leas not in the promotional video i received. For the record Berle is 86 and appears to be in remarkably Good shape although his makeup is so thick he probably needs a Black & Decker Sander to remove it. But in the video All Uncle Millie does is Wear Snappy looking sweat suit and move through a room of exercising geezers while annoying the hell out of everyone with his goofy jokes. My wife and i make love almost every Day of the week. Almost monday almost tuesday the Berle and Gabor videos aside perhaps the most grating is the Regis Philbin my personal work our video in which the tiny talk show Host huffs and puffs with special guests Kathie Lee Gifford Joy Philbin and his show s Geeky producer Michael gel Man. Even More unsettling is the picture that graces tieback cover which shows Regis lifting a Dumbbell while wearing a steady now tank top. Dearly there Are certain people who should never Ever Wear a tank top. And Regis name is at the top of the list one below my name. In terms of fashion disasters this is like seeing de Mcmahon Ina thong. Speaking of thongs Angela Lansbury is not thankfully wearing one on her positive moves workout video. David Carradine fans who until now could Only glimpse their Stone faced hero in rerun hell have another reason to go on living Kuong fun workout the fitness program that began 2,500 years  my Only Hope is that this does t signal a flood of exercise videos with hosts who Are washed up 70s to stars such As Sra say and Hutch s fu/7-ti/f boo Gic workout. Cher Racquel Welch Stefanie Powers Mary Tyler Moore Tanya Tucker. Marilu Henner. All have their own workout videos. Even Wilt Chamberlain has a workout video the aptly named Cross fitness for Active lifestyles. A/te/tf11 who s More Active than Wilt the Aba Long is Ains to have bedded More tha"10,000 or is it 10 million women you wonder where he finds the time to exercise.
