Billy Joel
The Bridge Tour

He’s coming back. Finally.
We sure missed you, Billy. The
phones started ringing weeks ago
when the word slipped out. And
now we can tell your fans that the
wait is over. "April 22nd 8 p.m.
He’ll be here."
Touring on a much acclaimed
album, The Bridge, Joel is back
after four year hiatus from
Austin. Although out of sight, he
was all but out of earshot
throughout those 1,500 some odd
days. Local radio stations have
been kind. We’ve heard "An
Innocent Man," "Tell Her About
It,” "Uptown Girl"and "Leave A
Tender Moment Alone." All
from one disc, An innocent Man,
the stylistically complete vision
of the late 50’}s and early 60’s.
The Bridge makes for album
number 10 and takes off in a dif-
ferent direction for Joel, some say
back to his much earlier suc-
cesses. Nothing purposely,
though. On the contrary says
Joel, "I’m not the same person I
was then. I’ve changed. The
world has changed. I can’t repeat
myself." There is no doubt that
The Bridge reflects a maturation
in Joel’s life.
The "old stuff' that is so
fondly recalled goes all the way
back to ’72 with Captain Jack, a
runaway hit at an early Philadel-
phia concert and underground hit
in the East. So much a hit, in
fact, that Columbia Records
tracked him down and got his
signature on the dotted line. Pi-
ano Man hit the streets soon
thereafter with the resulting top
20 single of the same name. Next
came Streetlife Serenade featur-
ing "The Entertainer", then Turn-
stiles featuring "Say Goodbye to

Arlo
Guthrie
in Austin
Folk singer, musician, story-
teller and humorist Arlo Guthrie
returns to the Paramount Theatre,
713 Congress Avenue, on Sun-
day, April 26. Backed by his
band Shenandoah, Guthrie will
share his "short stories and long
songs" for one performance only
at 8pm.
Arlo Guthrie began enter-
taining people back in the early
1960s. When Warner Brothers
released his first album which
featured the epic story ballad,
Alice’s Restaurant, it became an
instant hit and zoomed Arlo into
stardom. It was the first popular
anti-war song that combined the
political and humorous qualities
that became Arlo’s trademark.
Active in the peace movement
and arc avid environmentalist,
Guthrie writes compelling
melodies that are packed with
satire and keen insight into the is-
sues of the day. They also de-
liver up some unique vocals and
expert guitar picking.
With 26 albums, five films nd
numerous TV appearances to his
credit, Arlo Guthrie continues to
touch generations with his music.
His Paramount concert will fea-
ture new selections as well as
Guthrie classics.
Tickets are $13.75 and $11.75
and are available at all UTTM
TicketCenters. Charge-a-Ticket,
477-6060. Information, 472-
5411.
