"Velcome to the uR-1 ALL BRR edition, phaSe 11.
As we stated last week, this is just one more of our unceasing efforts to satisfy you, our glorious reader. Really~ only the
Provoc doesn't rever you beautiful people!
But back to the present.
We finish our look at 20+ EL bars this week, from Beggar's Banquet to Zeke's. With the utmost subjectivity, one of ()ur correspondents
who frequents a gig has reviewed it based on several criteria.
So check it out, and for a complete set of issues, stop by our Guns on Street offices (14a univeriSt ~ nEPOR TER-INTELLlGEN[
ER P)aza).

Dress: classy, jeans don't cut it
Friendly Factor: low
Diversions: pinching the waiters or -
waitresses, but little else
The Straight Poop: This is a
classy joint with a great menu. The
decor is impeccable and comfortaple,
and the bar is low key.
This is a wonderful place to bring a
woman you want to impress and if
you want to depress your wallet.
There's steak, liver pate, wine,
cheese, and a variety of other
snaizy dishes. This is not, however,
a place to guzzle beer, pull
out your shirttails and tip tables and
chairs. As you should know by
now, the fight song isn't sung here
(and especially not at top voice).
But, hey, does every joint in town
have to be a joint?
Enjoy ...

Cover: none
Entertainment: tvs,juke box
Theme: neighborhood burger bar
Beat Night:weekends
Age Requirement: 21
Greek Quotient: 9
Location: on grand river, by greyhound
and across from the AZD house
Chow: full menu
Best Specials: bucket o' beer
Crowd: fairly mellow, but with a tendency
to sing along with the juke.box
Dress: preppie to MSU sweatshirts and
jeans
Friendly Factor: medium to high (if you
have the cajones to approach folks)
Diversions: good juke box, tvs
The Straight Poop:Crunchy's is like a
Greek Peanut Barrel;they have good
burg,trs and fries that feel good going
down with a cold draft. Pitcher prices are
reasonable and the booths are a good
place to hide if you don't like sitting next to
a table of Staters enthusiastically belting
out the MSU fight song.
"Fight, fight, fightteam fight, etc."
Not too bad a tune, until everyone has
sung it and• American Pie" for the fourth
time.
But Crunchy's is a nice change from the
run-around E.L. bar scene and a good
place to get the night out of the blocks.
Grab a burger and a beer. The Giggles
Grapevine says lunches are pretty good
here, and in addition to lots of sorority
girls, you can run into MSU administrators
and DiB here every once in a blue moon.
Cover: none
Entertainment: no bands or
dancing
Theme: MSU's sports bar
Best Night: Thursday, Friday and
Saturday are not bad, might just
seem better ·~use it's not so
crowded
Age Requirement: 19
Greek Quotient: 8
Location: 131 Albert, one block
east of Abbott
Chow: full menu, known for Big
Ten sandwiches and nachos
Best Specials: extremely rare;
·best to go already buzzed
Crowd: conservative crowd with
decent ratio of M to F on Thursdays.
Good place this side of
library to scope. Not a serious
drinking crowd
Dress: Preppie in early stage of
night, more casual when other bar
patrons roll in
Friendly Factor: easy to meet
people if you know a few of the
regulars. Lots of people from your
classes will show up here
Diversions: lots of pool tables,
video games, tvs and basketball
1 The Straight Poop: Dooley's
doesn't carry much middle ground
among MSU students. People
who wish Ralph Lauren was never
born might want to avoid this bar if

preppies and so-called conformity .
bothers them. But in reality, the
majority of students at Dooley's are
your average Joas. Dooley's is
always is an institution you can count
on, and definitely the best place to
visit after a big MSU win.
If you're a pool shark this place is for
you, but get ready to bring a lot of
quarters since the regulars aren't
afraid to take your shirt right off your
back.
Money is important factor: : don't get
caught off guard by the free admission
to Dooley's; the place costs an arm
and a leg for the serious drinkers. If
muchies are to your liking, get ready
for the "Nachos on Steroids"; a huge
plate of nacho chipswith enough stuff
to make the biggest glutton smile.
So if you haven't been to Dooley's -
which puts you in a group with only a
few other people on campus - go
with your buddies and drop your
attitude at door. Have a good time.

Cover: none
Entertainment: supreme excellence
in juke boxery, slide show all night, big
screen tv
Theme: if you haven't partied with us,
you've never partied
Best Night: any, really
Age Requirement: 18
Greek Quotient: 2 {mainly curiosity
seekers)
Location: 2700 E. Michigan Ave., just
past Frandor, on the left.towards the
Capitol as you pass 127 interchange
Chow: peanuts and stuff in vending
machine
Best Specials: cheap pitcher specials
early in the evening
Crowd: friendly, wild, rich, poor
Dress: mandatory
Friendly Factor: if you're tough, you
can get some
Diversions: Foosball, slide shows,
video games, tvs, pool
Ths Straight Poop: If your feet don't
stick to the floor and you can move
around, Mac's is a great place. The
beer flows and the lyrics to "American
Pie" and "Hotel California" fill the air,
but if you want to play something on
East Lansing's best juke box you
better be ready to wait until 3 am,
since the early birds get the tunes.
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go there
expecting to see Prince Charles. This
is a place only real people go.
And sometimes the real people don't
observe the best hygene - but they
play the damn bestest foosball you
ever saw! ·
This joint draws people from Lansing,
East Lansing, Jupiter, Mars, etc, but
beer makes everyone equal in God's
eyes. Oh, and the people like to meet
people of the opposite sex. Yes, this
is a place to get some, but what you
get don't always look so good the next
morning. But hey, they probably feel
the same way!
If you haven't gone to Mac's, you owe
yourself. -Bring lots of friends, because
the more the merrier here. Oh,
and as a bonus, Theio's is right next
door, so if you're sick of Top Dog this
is your salvation.
Oh, one last piece of advice - don't
do anything that might piss the
bouncers off. They are huge as life,
mean to badasses, think five-on-one
is a fair fight {one of you, that is), and
don't hesitate to stomp the shit out of
anyone getting out ofline.
So drink up and stay cool and your
ass will probably not be waxed.
See you there.

loving folk comes to mind when
you think of the Olga's crowd. Happy
hour usually packs them in on Friday,
and Olga's is a good place to throw
down a solid meal and have a few
tasty drinks.
This is not a place to get screwed up
all night.
It is, however, a nice change from the

heading there on a lhursday night or

I guess the great mixed drink pitcher
deal on Thursday draws me there, or
maybe it's the fact that I always run
into friends there. Or maybe it's the.
fact that Top Dog is just out back, or
maybe it's the f~ct that Pinball Pete's
is just below the joint? Then again, it
could be that there's no cover and
Rick's has gone to the dogs.
Whatever the reason, I always end up
at The Riv complaining about how
bored I am and drinking another ritcher. ·

"Meet Market,· where you go if you

perception isn't changed after you visit
the bathroom to see the interesting .
graffitti on the walls. ·The best part of
Sensation's is the dance floor, which
can accommodate hundreds of
dancers at once. For the serious
dancer, Sensation's is the only place
near campus where you can go and
consistently get down. The 25¢ drink
special~on Tuesday are key - go
with a group of friends and you're
guaranteed a great time. Going by
yourself in search of a warm body
often results in a case of "Frustrations.
· Since it's the only major dance
club in the area, the DJs continue to
play Top 40-12-inch dance selections.
Improvements would include diversify_
ing to play House and Rap and more
progressive genres that would attract
a larger part of MSU's student body
and transform Sensation's into a true
MSU dance club. All in all, however,
Senation's can guarantee you a good
time if you really want to get down and
dirty.

The Straight Poop: This place is
straight out <;>f the seventies, complete
with carpeting on the ceilings and
walls. Shooter's Pub has some good
specials, and bands from all over the
country come here to grind their axes.
From Steppenwolk to Bachman
Turner Overdrive to Diving for Pearls
and other up-and-coming bands.
This is definitely not your typical EL
. bar crowd, as folks from all over midMichigan
head for a loud time and lots
of drink. The folks in Jackson languish
as they sit green with envy ov~r
the success of the Sleasy D.
And don't forget the crowd. Without a
doubt heavy, metal-wise that is, but
there's nuthin like a bunch of metalheads
to hang out and get ripped
with. Just don't don the Polo.

that's what draws them in!
Nope, no eritertainment.
But wait, there are food speicals
during happy hour. Specials like 12
buffalo wings for $3.25, some special.
The best thing about this bar is the
giant screen tv, so you can see every
bead of sweat on Steve Smith's head.
The tv allows Zeke's to be a very lame
fascimile of a sports bar. The crowd
at this place consists of no students,
just out of town business people who
are away from their spouses for the
night. This is definitely not a people
meeting place - unless you are old
enough to run for president, or take
cash for services rendered.
There is one positive thing, though. If
you don't mind paying for it, their beer
· selection is extensive. In fact, if you
don't mind paying for it the clientele
isn't so bad either. But back to the
beer. Zeke's features over a dozen
domestics, as well as brews from the
West Indies, the Far East, Holland,
and Ireland. This is a decent place to
come and talk, because It's so quiet
you can hear every word spoken.

dr. sex
Dear Dr. Sex:
I had been dating a woman for the
past six months. I thought we were
pretty good friends, at least until I
called one evening and her roommate
told me she had gone back to dating
her old boyfriend. First of all, I was
crushed and then I got angry. Now
that the anger is gone, I really miss
her, I dream of her, my heart races jf I
see someone who looks like her on
the street, in short, my life is miserable.
I thought I was tougher than
that. I thought women were the
romantic sex. Worst of all, the thought
of her in bed with her old boyfriend is
driving me nuts. How can I control
these unwanted thoughts and feel-
' lngs? Help!
_:_ Rick the Reject
Dear Rej:
Let this be a lesson to all the guys
who think se·x is an easy way to get to
know someone., There is ample
evidence in the psychological literature
that men are more romantic than
women even though women have
been though to be the "weaker" sex
for at least the past millenium ..
Weaker than what? Women handle
relationships much better than men.
They generally outlive us too, and I
can tell you that nature would never
stick weak people with having babies
because evolutionarily, it is too risky.
So watch it men!
What happens is that we -become
attachd to the woman we are with,
especially if we see them as sexobjects.
By attached, I mean we are
easily conditioned to attaching positive
feelings of the relationship, the
arousal, the joy~ the excitement to the
person acting as our object. In a
sense, we become mentally addicted
to that person and, when they are no
longer bonded to us, we go through a
withdrawal as profound as when we
quit using an addictive drug "cold
turkey."
Your experience on the street
shows conditioning at work. Here, an
object with a vague resemblance to
the conditioned stimulus sets off the
response associated with the missing
love-object. It will take a while before
the response settl~ down and begins
to show signs of extinguishing. One
day, many years from now, I predict
you wilrbe in a crowd behind a
woman who is wearing the same
perfume as your former lover and
BANG! You will go through the whole
emotional trip all over again. This Isn't
love, though, it is attachment plain and
simple, no different than what Pavlov
did with his doggie subjects.
What makes you human and
interesting is how you have taken your
rage which was aimed at this peson '
and directed it at yourself. That is why
the anger seemed to go away. It
didn't, it got turned into a sexual
fantasy of what she is doing with her
boyfriend. You are torturing yourself
with .these thoughts because you can't
get at'her.
Thoughts or feelings can't be
controlled any more than you can
control the weather. To begin the
healing process you are going to have
to express your anger and frustration.
Rip up your pictures of her and burn
them as you chant: "Burn bitch, burn.9
When no one else is around, use your
pillow as an object on which to project
violent feelings. Punch it while saying
her name, pound it, wrap your hands
around it and strangle it. Scream and
yell how you hate her, how you would
like to kill her. Ain't love grand?
. After you have squeezed out all
these feelings like the white junk in a
giant zit, go out and h,ave a good time.
Concentrate on the here and now.
Focus on your work, having fun with
your friends, · or whatever is going on
right at the moment but keep in mind
how good you feel to be free of all that
shit. As your self-esteem returns to
normal (because you have takeri a
powerful blow}, you will be able to
increase the length of the moment you
are focusing on, first to five minutes,
then ten, then an hour, and ultimately,
a day or a week.
Keep in mind what a complex and
interesting person you are and the
feelings will pass like a grey winter
week in Michigan. The sun will come·
out again, the sky will be blue, and the
birds will sing. Then you can do it all
over again but this next time, avoid
addiction altogether by not using
another person as your object, share
the relationship equally.
Dear Doc:
I could make it with any woman on
this campus, i'n fact, I have made it,
but I am still lonely.
- Peter Potter
Dear Pot:
Are you bragging or complaining?
Dear Doctor Barclay:
My boyfriend has a name for his
penis. He calls it Randolph and refers
to himself in the third person. Isn't this
weird??
- Trish
Dear Trish:
A lot of men have names for their
primary sex organs because they say
their D.ick has a mind of his own. I
know what they mean. Our unconscious
desires, particularly sexual
desires, can dominate conscious
forms of control leading to behavior
we may not understand or even be
able to control. I refer to this as a
case of testosterone poisoning
because it is the male hormore which
sensitises the head of the penis or
clitoris. When you meet a guy at the
bar, don't just ask for an introduction,
look down at his lap and say 'Who's
your friend?"
As a class exercise in the Psychology
of Human Sexuality, we .
would have the men introduce their
"friends.· Only one woman in the
eight yeras I did this had named her
sex organ - she called her vagina
"Fonda" - and when I asked was that
her whole name, she said "Nope. She
is Fonda Peters."

Speaking of oily crap (like mom's sausage), isn't it

This time it was New Jersey.

At least that's what my older brother, Syd, says.
And while we're talking about Pink Floyd, (blind) Pigs

the

It's not like there isn't enough toxic crap and pollutants
(the Nets and Bon Homely notwithstanding) to allow
us all to walk on the water in the Garden State without
Exxon's help, but the day after they were indicted on
multiple counts of negligence for the Alaska fiasco, the
losers dumped 25,000 gallons of crude into the already
gunk-filled waters of N.J. I'm starting to think that there
was some design flaw in the Exxon vessels - like where
did they find room to put a bar in each one???
Apparently ELPD has a new campaign out: u Just Say
Yes" to more police, and the (not-so high) rollers were all
over t~e news last week ranting and raving about how
crime statistics are up this year in beautiful metropolitan
EL and how they don't have enough officers to control the
rising incidence of crime.
What wasn't mentioned in the pitch for higher taxes
.(and· hence higher student rents) to pay for these new ·
officers was that the statistics are subject to some very
irrportant influences. The most likely reason that these
crime rates are up is not because there are more folks
puking and peeing their way down Albert Street, but
beqausetheir officers are not taking as may doughnut -
breaks.
David Scott was a hero to most - wait a minute,
we've used that one ...
But what do you snot jugglers know anyway?
Yes, it's I, the ole Provoc, ruler of the three-foot high
universe and a bad ass in my own right. And just
because you will be getting away from me for Spring
Break, don't forget that I'll be back to dish out more of my
peculiar brand of scorn next term.
By the way, anyone need an extra stud to accompany
them to Ft. Lauderdale ...
Nothing like a nice greasy pork sandwich in a dirty
ash try, right?
Well, just wait until you get home and realize the folks
aren't such a great stable of chefs after all.

Don't you hate it when whiney old men get in trouble?
Don't you hate it when bosses overreact?
Don't you hate the way people grouse about the

Well then, why are you reading this, you who-chokeson-
the-hair balls-of-others?
What's with this "all-bar crap" anyway?
Last bars I saw were in front of my playpen.
Did puke in there oncest or twicest, though, so I can
relate ...

Compilation disc a must-have
... . Dope, Guns, and Fuck~
ing in the Streets (vol.1-3) ·
Simply stated, this is one of the
best compilations of American bands
since SST's The Blasting Concept,
volume 2, which included Husker Du,
The Meat Puppets, The Minutemen,
Black Flag, Scratch Acid, Painted
Willie, and Gone In fact, Dope,
Guns ... is verlj reminicent of "The
Blasting Concept," at least in the historical
sense.
When SST released their f;iampler
(in 1986), they were at the top of the
independent label logjam, way ahead
of the pack. Now in 1990, labels like
SST and Enigma come close to being
considered majors, while SUB-POP
and Amphetamine Reptile are slowly
taking over the indie ranks. This
compilation features performers from
both SUB-POP and A.A labels,
including a few of the hottest bands
around - independent or major label.
SUB-POP bands, Mudhoney,
Tad, and The Lonely Moans, comprise
an important part of this vital
disc. Right now, they are the sound of
underground America. The slimydirge
of their music added to the
brutality (sometimes almost too
graphically); the. realistic lyrics make
an irresistable combo. This Seattle
sound is slowly infiltrating all facets of
cutting edge music. With the success
of Sound,garden, Green River
(R.1.P.), Mother Love Bone, Nirvana,
and even Ann Arbor's Big Chief,
oodles and oodles of new bands have
adopted the same musical and
societal stance. Whether this sincere,
almost reverent form of flattery
will be good or bad for the m.usic-biz is
yet to be seen, but it bodes well.
TAR, Helios Creed, The Cows,
and (Flint's) God Bullies are the only
bands of stature (not quite fame, just
yet) form Amphetamine Reptile that
appear here, on their (A.R.'s.) own
compilation. T AR's showing on the
tune "Antlers" is impressive but only
adds to the mounting rumors of a label
switch for them-to. Touch and Go
(who boast Laughing Hyenas,
Killdozer, B-H Surfers, and
numerous Big Black offspring) or the
aforementioned SUB-POP. Helios
Creed (formerly one-half of the band
Chrome) just turns your ears - not to
mention your mind - inside-outwith
his warpeder-than-thou guitar advqri- ·
tures: But, the God Bullies, all the
rage in some small circles of anti-pop
enthusiasts, are nothing more than an
early seventies Iggy poser, gyratting
and screaming to a band that sounds
like The Damned covering Cramps
songs, or maybe it's the other way
around, I'm not sure. But, really, to
give them credit, there is a certain
vulgar novelity to their act, which even
live held my attention for a good five,
six minutes (or however long their
soundcheck was),
All dime store analyzing aside,
Dope, Guns ... is an important disk for
the nineties. All the bands here
dominate the. underground scene and
deserve a listen. Even t.he lesser
known bands (check-out the U-Men,
Halo of Flies, and King Snake
Roost), add a little more detail the
picture of an America that is obsessed
with Dope, Guns and Fucking ifJ the
Streets.
