MORGAN OIL CO! continued from pg. 7 nesburg’s most popular style, “umganga.” The minority white state even plays “Graceland” on the radio as a bromide to the current state of emergency. But what’s ironic is that these buoyant rhythms are more than a tonic to the melancho ly lyrics. They draw their strength from realism. Once again, op pressed blacks are teaching whites how to dance on their problems. Maybe Simon was not supposed to have learned. In the process of creating a terrific album, he made a couple of political gaffes. Simon unintentionally broke the United Nations cultural boycott of South Africa by recording some tracks there, a move he now wishes he could take back. But what’s more important: the letter of the boycott, or the spirit? Shouldn’t a boycott work for the artists instead of against them? Linda Ronstadt’s contribution to the song “African Skies” also is a contentious issue. Christgau thinks her very presence is “a slap in the face to the world anti-apartheid movement.” And yet even Ronstadt, who shamelessly played Sun City--South Africa’s segregated resort mecca-in the late seventies, ought to be allowed mistakes. Her appearance here in no way endorses apartheid. These same critics are mute when Ray Charles or Tina Turner, blacks who should know better, play Sun City.

And then on Friday you’ll hear rock, calypso, and classics all Simon when John Lennon flip-flopped on the issue of violent political change by singing “count me out” on “Revolution” back in 1968. But if the Lennon debate was beside the point-condemning “Graceland,” which never pretends to anything but personal, for political insensitivity seems way off base. Still, on “Graceland” Simon makes even the most personal lyrics politically evocative. When he compares Ronstadt’s upbring ing in the Arizona desert to singer Joseph Shabalala’s childhood in Soweto, he’s not consigning either to a social class. He’s celebrating the fact that what they both have in common is a voice with which to sing and celebrate life. Similarly, on “The Myth of Fingerprints,” Simon closes the album with the story of a forgotten talk show host, a Jack Paar who could be anybody. The image of the title tells us that it’s not out fingerprints that make us unique, it’s what we have in common. These are not exactly pro apartheid messages. They run through the album, and cast all the critics’ rigid accusa tions that Simon somehow has sold out to or ignored South African op pression in a bizarre light. Simon’s crime seems to be that he failed to confirm somebody else’s political viewpoints. That never works, and it never will. “Graceland” deserves to be judg ed on its own terms. Walker The Times-Georgian reported Tuesday that Word said his client will enter a plea of self defense because he had fled the scene and was defending himself against Frentheway when the stabbing occurred.
