E2 The Beacon Journal Sunday, June 28, 1987 Love docs give tips to a blushing bridegroom money to buy the facility before the new two-year lease expires. Otherwise, the studios will stay put. RADIO I 1 1 Bob Hfj Dyer every day he was on WLTF. Another judge ordered a stay of that sentence, but later lifted it and ordered Elliott to appear at the arbitration hearing. Elliott maintains the pact he signed with WWSW became invalid when the station failed to give him written notice that it was being renewed.

Elliott took himself off the air June 12. He won't go back on until things are resolved. He's hoping, no doubt, that his return to the air is not a live remote from the slammer. WZAK (93.1-FM) star Lynn Tolliver Jr. says he's wary of morning rival John Lanigan, saying the WMJI (105.7-FM) kingpin has now regained his momentum after his stint in Florida.

"I think they (WMJI) may be the next No. 1 station in this market," Tolliver told the Beacon Journal be moved to 1935 State Route 59, a vacant building east of campus. The offices have been in Wright Hall, originally built as a dormitory. With the Kent State student population soaring an additional 600 students are expected this fall the school needs to reclaim the dorm space. For now, the studios will remain in the Music and Speech Building.

In two years if $1.5 million in private funds can be raised WKSU will buy the Ohio 59 building and shift the studios there as well. Station officials have long wanted to combine the two operations, which are a quarter-mile apart. The current setup, says Kent State president Michael Schwartz, is "inefficient (and) expensive." "If we had it all housed in its own building," Schwartz said of WKSU, "its performance to the community and listeners would improve immeasurably." The university, which currently foots about 20 percent of WKSU's annual operating costs, will pay for renovation, the initial move and the first year's rent. But WKSU must raise the Is the third time really a charm? WNIR (100.1-FM) morning mouth Stan Piatt hopes so. Sir Stanley, 36, was to have trucked down the aisle again Saturday, this time to meet Pam Keeling, 25, of Brimfield.

They met at Hilarities comedy club when Piatt was presiding over amateur nights and she was wait-ressing. Piatt's counterpart at WKDD (96.5-FM), Matt Patrick, finds Piatt's love life so amusing that he telephoned Piatt's show Wednesday morning. While a record aired on his own station, Patrick, playing his bogus adviser, Dr. Love, offered Piatt some tips on the air. The good doctor also proceeded to invite himself to the reception.

Piatt got in a poke of his own, asking Big Bucks Patrick (Akron's highest-paid jock) if he could borrow Patrick's Mercedes for the honeymoon. Then on Friday, WMJI's John Lani-gan jumped into the act. In an exchange that was heard on both stations, Lanigan needled a stunned Piatt over the 11-year age gap between bride and bridegroom. Lanigan wondered whether Piatt needed a child-seat for his car, and whether the new drinking-age law would affect their plans. "At least he had the guts to simulcast it," Piatt said.

The Piatts will 'moon in Atlantic City. "She had a great sense of humor, which I needed," Piatt says of the initial attraction. "And she was used to crazy entertainers." Not as used to them as she will be. Longtime WSLR (1350-AM) newsman Dick Stone is leaving for a television job in Toledo. Stone will become producer of the 11 o'clock news at CBS affiliate WTOL, Toledo's top-rated news station.

A former reporter for WBBG (1260-AM) and the late M-105, Stone has been at WSLR for more than six years. His last local broadcasts will be July 7. "It's something I couldn't turn down professionally," said Stone, 34. "It's going to be fun." WLTF's embattled morning jock is still in limbo. "Trapper Jack" Elliott, accused of walking out on a contract with a Pittsburgh station to take the Cleveland job, is expected to learn his fate this week.

He is waiting for the ruling of an arbitrator following a June 19 hearing in Pittsburgh. Because Elliott had defied a judge's order and stayed on the air at WLTF (106.5-FM), he had been sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $1,000 for Public radio station WKSU has finally found a room to let.

MONDAY Maria," Sondheim would say, prompting Bernstein to suggest "I just saw a girl named Maria." Bernstein finally pulled out and gave Sondheim full artistic credit although Sondheim never got his corresponding financial percentage. Mostly, we watch Lenny doing just about whatever he wants leaving the table at royal dinner parties before anyone else; planting an uninvited kiss on First Lady Jackie Kennedy. To Ms. Peyser, the biggest surprise of all was Bernstein's complexity. According to the book, the man is a collection of dichotomies: An ardent supporter of leftist causes he held an infamous '60s fund-raiser for the Black Panthers he often has been cruel toward blacks and women.

A proud Jew, he used to pronounce his name with the Yiddish twist BernSTEEN but in the late '50s began insisting it be pronounced BernSTINE, in the tradition of Germanic aristocracy. He considers himself a genius but beats himself with the notion that he has never composed any real "art." Some of his actions have been merely bizarre.

"Once you tell the truthful story, the life has a meaning that gives it a dignity that it wouldn't have otherwise, and an urgency and an intensity. To do anything less to Bernstein would have been an insult to him." Ms. Peyser contends in the book that it's common for an artist of Bernstein's magnitude to have a gargantuan sex drive.

The greater the artist, she insists, the more powerful the sex drive whether suppressed or not. "It is the combination of this incredible (sexual) power with this remarkable musicianship that has made him the man we know and hold in awe today," she said last week. And she does indeed hold Bernstein in awe. Ms. Peyser excuses his sexcapades and loutish social behavior.

In her eyes, his superb artistry gives him the license to be an ass. "An artist needs to have the kind of self-absorbed, self-involved, narcissistic personality 8:00 a.m. fflElThe 700 Club See 6:30 a.m. 6:30 a.m. US The 700 Club Hotel entrepreneur William Walton.

He sings about people, issues Movies The Witches ofEastwick is a wild movie about war and peace between the sexes. Jack Nicholson plays a mysterious stranger who hooks up with three lively, hip women (Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer) in New England. Movie's theme is muddled, but the acting is a delight.

Man chases woman until she catches him. Ms. Peyser is a former editor of the Musical Quarterly and has been a contributor for two decades to the New York Times' Arts and Leisure section. Bernstein is not an authorized biography. He wouldn't submit to an extended interview and didn't have veto power.

But she had occasional access to him and got cooperation from friends and family members. In April, Ms. Peyser dropped off an advance copy of the book at Bernstein's apartment. She hasn't heard anything, but claims she never expected to. She says Bernstein's close friends report that he likes the book.

She believes he actually wants his Dionysian excesses to go down in history. "I think I have answered his deepest dreams," she said. But it's difficult to believe Bernstein could be thrilled. Forgetting the notches on his bedpost, we get a portrait of a vicious, calculating egomaniac. The 1987 profile is that of a tormented man, a chain-smoker who can't sleep and is hooked on Scotch and tranquilizers.

Much of Bernstein's artistic motivation is attributed to a horrible relationship with his late father, a beauty-supply dealer. The book discusses at length Bernstein's love-hate relationships with a string of substitute fathers such as Serge Koussevitz-ky and Dimitri Mitropoulos. OK. But isn't the biographer practicing psychiatry without a license? "I think it's a degrading thing to accumulate facts in an encyclopedic way without coming to terms with the meaning of a human being's life," she responded. I walked around for months with facts ringing in my head until I said, 'I understand this man's life, I can start One thing is beyond dispute: Ms.

Peyser's research was exhaustive. Among the book's 465 pages are more than you could hope to know about Bernstein, including the room numbers of his early apartments. That's one reason the book occasionally moves in a lento tempo. Another problem for mainstream readers is endless allusions to classical pieces and composers, as well as necessary but cumbersome technical discussions of music, such as the battle between traditional tonality and the 12-tone method. And Ms.

Peyser, 55, sometimes mirrors the Times' penchant for not using a simple word when a more obscure one will do. O'Connor I found out that I had something more to say." He has said it more than 500 times in more than 500 original songs. Not to mention in more than 30 films among them, The Tin Drum and the Franois Truffaut classic Shoot the Piano Player. "I have always tried to find what can concern people," he said. "I have written songs about homosexuality.

I have written songs about a deaf and mute woman. I have written a song about a woman who is getting fat. I have written a song about an aging man. I have written a song about divorce. These kinds of songs are very important in between the songs for which I am By Laurie Home Knight-Ridder Newspapers One imagines, for an instant, an image of Charles Aznavour: rasping over a mike in a smoky Parisian boite perpetually suspended, perpetually in a France still wounded by the war.

In his songs, broken hearts are perpetually hopeful. Alas, the grand illusion. Aznavour, 63, is far too practical to remain in a time warp. "I think we have to write about human things," the singer-songwriter says by telephone from his home in Geneva, Switzerland. "It would not be fair just to write, 'I love you.

You love I do that too, you know. I started with that. But very soon, Art City Life: New York in the 1930s and On Earth As It Is in Heaven: The Carvings of Elijah Pierce, which just opened at the Akron Art Museum, offer two extremes of two-dimensional art the highly stylized form that printmaking took during the American Scene years versus the loose and untutored genius of folk artist Elijah Pierce. Ms. Shinn known." He writes songs entirely in French.

"My language is French. My writing is French. My singing is French and I am French," he declares with passion. But his sensitivity to suffering was shaped not a little by being Armenian his family was forced to come to Paris by the Turkish massacre of 1915. Aznavour has noticed that he has become more popular in the United States.

"It is not that American taste has changed," he says. "It is the situation for Americans in the world that has changed. You see how many problems you have in America in the last few years with Vietnam, with Iran there is big unemployment and a problem with immigration and all that is very important. They are facing reality more and more and they want to hear about reality." Is 'Dragnet' Blues His first big hit. Boogie Chilian, came in 1 949.

We get insights into the making of West Side Story, such as Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim battling over almost every lyric "I just met a girl named "You're single, divorced, widowed, or Just alone." "You're tired of the bar scene." "You just moved here and need help with your social life." "You want to meet that someone special." "You want to make a change In your life."
