B.J. Thomas has unique style
| By DEE JAYNES Staff Writer Area residents turned out last Friday evening to hear B.J. Thomas sing the ballads of middle America that have earned the 44-year-old singer five Grammy Awards. Thomas, whose music crosses the boundaries of counfrv JMin ond Cncnol' onnparpd fnr “j ’ **»« uvopv., --- two performances at Warsaw’s Wagon Wheel Playhouse. ..., Thomas seemed comfortable and relaxed with the not-quite capacity crowd at the first show, engaging in conversation with many members of the audience and exchanging friendly waves. This informal atmosphere created a few problems when several.fans came onstage during .the performance to ask for autographs. Thomas remained cordial throughout the impromptu but was clearly' waiting Tar someone other than himself to rake control of the situation and return the fans to their seats so the show could continue.

about middle class American values, and “Whatever Happenr\lrl Pnckinnnd Thomas then picked up the tempo with his popular country hit, “New Looks From an Old Lover.” When Thomas followed with his Grammy Award winning "Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a few fluffed lyrics brought laughter from the singer and the comment "Excuse me. I’ve only sung this song 1,345 times! ’ ’ One of the most popular numbers of the ' evening was Thomas’s “(Hey, Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” — claiming the record for the longest title of a hit single produced in America. The song’s easy rhythm and familiar lyrics found many members of the audience singing along. Laughing that he was probably the only performer left in show business who had not done a duet with Julio Iglacias, Thomas showed his versatility on “Rock and Roll Shoes,” a number he recorded with Ray Charles.

rather strange light show was the only detraction during the wellt\nnfr>»"»v«r»4 mxwwWaaa Explaining that he doesn’t really consider himself exclusively a country or gospel singer, Thomas said he isn’t “really religious,” but that he believes “there’s a little piece of God inside everyone.” His rendition of “Amazing Grace” brought thunderous applause from* the appreciative audience. The audience continued its sing-a-long on “Rock and Roll Lullaby,” “I Just Can’t Help Believin,” and “Hooked on a Feelin,” and were reluctant to let the singer leave the stage when he signaled the end of the show. A standing ovation kept Thomas onstage an additional 20 minutes, with the singer laughing “We don’t have anywhere else to go! ” Thomas explained to the audience that the fact that both he and his wife, songwriter Gloria Thomas, were abused as children led to the recording of “Broken Toys,” a touching song written by Gloria Thomas and Nashville songwriters J.D. Martin and Gary Harrison. The song has
B.J. THOMAS been presented to Nancy Reagan as part of the National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention campaign. Ending the evening’s performance after nearly an hour and a half, Thomas sang the theme from the popular television series Growing Pains, “As Long As We’ve Got Each Other,” and announced plans to re-record the song for release in the near future. Thomas left the stage just after 8 on Friday evening, allowing little time for rest before returning for the 9 p.m. §how. Although his 60’s-style long hair may not reflect the grass roots America of which he sings, Thomas has clearly developed a unique style that appeals to audiences of all ages. This appeal was apparent in the cross-section represented in Friday evening's Wagon Wheel audience and their appreciation of the values and ideals represented in the music of B.J. Thomas. It was a pleasant evening with a seemingly pleasant man who.appears to be having a great time doing whajt he does best. Wagon Wheel audiences have enjoyed the talents of Ft. Wayne's Overly nd Express as the opening act for such headliners as The Bellamy Brothers. Although their performance Friday evening seemed short of their usual standards, due partly to a sound system that made their lyrics difficult to understand, the band continues to establish a name for themselves in the country music field. The group is currently recording their first album to be released in June.

Miirr»nr»/i/ cnanlrinH .. 7 .j, - Keeping anger controlled
I By BILL MASON. M. DIV. Bowen ('enter Therapist Anger is an emotion everyone experiences and expresses. Folks who are never angry at work, are angry at home, and vice versa. Anger Usually causes trouble when expressed. Things are said that one really doesn’t mean, or sometimes they are said to the wrong person. Why is it so easy to become angry? Doesn’t one have a right to be angry? What’s wrong with being angry? What can be done about it? Why does one become angry?. In the first place it's experienced often. Dad and Mom become angry at each other, parents become angry at children and children at parents, brothers and sisters show anger too. This is just in the family! Employees become angry at employers. Democrats at Republicans. Americans are upset with South Africans who practice apartheid or at the Contras in Nicaragua. It feels good to be angry. Onefeels more powerful. People feel more in sympathy with those \Vhom they respect when they are angry abouXfhe same things which anger them, or when they are angry in the same ways. Do people have a right to be angry? There is no law which says so. The Constitution doesn't guarantee this right. Most people seem to believe that they have this right secretly, if not openly. Suppose that there is the right to be angry. There are many restrictions on our freedom to express anger. To children it seems parents and other adults often discourage their being angry. Laws state that people may not express anger by killing or assaulting other people, or even by saying certain kinds of angry things about them. It isn’t legal to

disobey people who are in authority because of anger. Anger is not accepted as a reason for doing something illegal. There are also unwritten laws which restrict freedom to express anger. In violating these unwritten laws people are not called criminals but are recognized as inferior. Respect and the interest of other people is lost. One such law says “Don’t talk back to parents, teachers, policemen or others in authority.” Another says, "Do as you are told to do.” Anger is not accepted as a reason for breaking social laws. What’s wrong with being angry? Plenty! Seldom does it do lasting good. People could remember very few times when anger corrected a situation which had provoked it. Anger that isn’t dealt with can cause painful things to happen in the body, such as ulcers, “a nervous stomach”, or headaches. It can sometimes cause destructive things to happen in our minds, such as depression or guilt. It can hurt relationships, such as provoking anger or conflict in people we love or work with. Anger seldom brings what one wants from others or from oneself. Anger restricts the freedom to choose actions which aren’t angry ones. What can one do about anger? First, recognize what it is. Anger is a name given to a motivation, a reason for doing something. It is a juagment about a situation which causes stress. Second, one can be reminded that anger, like every other emotion, has a good purpose. It is intended to provoke one to do something, hopefully helpful, about the situation which caused it. Third, one may use the energy released by anger to choose and carry out constructive actions: such as returning good for evil; thinking of a compliment instead of an insult; say-

ing something like, “It isn’t fun to . be criticized, but thank you for caring enough to point that out to me”, instead of, “So’s your old . man!”. One can say, “I don’t want to behave angrily, so let me have a few minutes to deal with my anger. Then let’s discuss this * further.” When one understands and accepts anger and uses its energy to , do and say constructive things, he/she usually feels better, enjoys better health, is probably better liked and perhaps is more successful.
