                       I'm only 17 and dating a lesbian
                          Shows of note as of 7/27/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Fri:    Greenhouse / Fid / Gaffle / Skalawags @ The Spectrum
             Man Or Astroman @ Reckless and Lounge Ax
     Sat:    Weston @ the Elmhurst VFW Hall
     Sun:    Cheap Trick / Off Broadway @ Waukesha Riverfest for FREE!
 
 CORRECTING THE CORRECTIONS
     My correction about this Friday/Saturday at Empty Bottle was wrong.
     The Empty Bottle ad last week was a misprint, and I changed the Shows
     List w/o verifying.  Mea culpa.
 
 IN-STORES AU-GO-GO
     - Man Or Astroman at Reckless on Friday
     - Bruce Hornsby at Borders Books on Wednesday
     - Lori Carson, Bjork, X, Marillion and Freddy Jones at Tower.  No, not
       all at once.  See the Tower listing for details. 
 
 R.E.M. TICKETS
     R.E.M. tickets go on sale Saturday at 9am.
 
 WEAKER YOUTH ENSEMBLE
     Weaker Youth Ensemble are playing the PIT in Rockford on Saturday.
     This is supposedly a one-time reunion show.  The fabulous Greenhouse
     are also supposed to be on the bill.
 
 BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE
     I've had B.A.D. at Metro on 8/3 for the past week or two, but the print
     ads show no mention of them, and the recorded message doesn't either.
     Still, they don't have anything ELSE that night...
 
 FREEFEST SCHEDULE
     If any of you want the Freefest schedule for August 11-13, let me know.
     If enough people ask, I'll put it in next week's list.  There are bands
     from 11am to 9pm, every 45 minutes, for 3 days.  That's a lot of bands.
