F4 THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1991 OC I.OS ANGELES TIMIIS POP: Rock Stars' Stations MORNING REPORT Irts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services and the nation 's press. POPROCK Jann Browne, who will be trying to capitalize on commercial footholds established last year. This year should determine whether Peppers Golden Bear has the ability to compete on an equal footing with the Coach House for top club-level concert attractions, breaking Orange County's tradition of concert monopoly on the club scene. Also, keep an eye on the jockeying to build an indoor arena in the county, with competing developers in Anaheim and Santa Ana trying to bring a concert-and-sports facility to Orange County. tices against American Indians.

The success of the film "Dances With Wolves" has created a rare window of opportunity in which the public's attention is focused on this neglected issue. James' spare, driving folk-rock song would instantly grab listeners' attention and separate him from the rest of the '91 rookie pack. James' album, due out in March, is stocked with good, socially perceptive songs. Given a fair hearing, he could be a big success story this year. KBOSS would play him with pride.

Also keep an eye on rock band Social Distortion, dance-popster Louie Louie, and country singer national headlining act that refuses to let clubs such as the Coach House and Bogart'a give opening slots to worthy local bands would be coated in egg and rotten tomato by the end of its set. Nothing is more sickening than a band that succeeds, only to shut the door of opportunity to unsigned acts trying to make their way. O.C. pop development to watch In 1991: This year's Orange County rocker to watch is the same one I Justify the Brouhaha: a remixed version of Madonna's "Justify My Love" CD single has come under fire from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which charges that the recording BeastWithin" mix) promotes anti-Semitic sentiments. "This song is dangerous and an insult to every Jew," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the Jewish organization's associate dean.

"What you have here is the icon of American pop culture, for whatever reason, zeroing in on the most notorious anti-Semitic Continued from F2 lugging tons of their own gear. And lose those lavish, high-tech stage sets, which also have to be trucked around endlessly. This isn't opera, it's rock'n'roll. In my wishful pop world, idiotic six-figure expenditures to shoot videos and to record albums would cease. Record companies would insist on economy for the artist's, own sake, and they would respect and value the efforts of acts that don't grasp for the gold and platinum ring.

Under sane rock economics, an album that sold, 20,000 or 30,000 copies would be considered a solid, profitable effort instead of a no-account flop; performers able to reach that sales level would be able to make a dignified living with their music. Such acts wouldn't need MTV anymore; Bruce Springsteen's radio station, and others like it around the country, would be introducing them to a mass public In my wishful pop world, any picked a year ago: Vinnle James. James' debut album, "All Amerlr can Boy," sat in a can last year as he switched record labels from Cypress to RCA, then had to wait out a management upheaval at RCA. If RCA's new management-is smart, it will rush out a video and single for "Hey Geronimo," a gutsy, instantly memorable protest song about past and present injus- Kindergarten Cop' is one of the year's 10 best!" Madonna fans." The Jewish group objects to a passage in the remix culled from the New Testament's Book of Revelation that says: "And the slander of those who say they are Jews, but they are not, they are a synagogue of Satan." Warner Madonna's record company, would not comment on the controversy. Nelson Protests: An anti-war song that Willie Nelson wrote nearly 25 years ago after a friend was drafted for duty in Vietnam is attracting interest because of the Persian Gulf crisis.

Nelson is protesting the U.S. military buildup against Iraq by offering the original song called "Jimmy's Road," and a 10-minute reading of Mark Twain's "The War Prayer," free to anyone who sends a blank cassette. Nelson wrote "Jimmy's Road" nearly 25 years ago when David Zcttner a bass player in his band was drafted. Ralph Novok, PEOPLE MAGAZINE Cop' Gets Straight A's!"

1 show, with an enormous 8.2-million viewer lead over "Cheers," the second-ranked program, according to ABC research. Two ABC sitcoms of the warm, traditional type "Full House" and "Family Matters" clearly fit audience tastes for the holiday week, bolting into the Top 5. NBC won the week another tight network race with a 10.6 rating; CBS was second with 10.3 and ABC trailed with 10.0. (Each rating point equals 931,000 TV homes. The full list of ratings is on F12.

The finale of ABC's canceled "Cop Rock" series, the night after Christmas, ranked 72nd among 85 programs for the week, with a 5.6 rating and 11 audience share. "Cop Rock" debuted this fall as the most radical new network series, combining a tough urban police drama with pop musical numbers. Though hailed as a TV breakthrough, the audience tuned it out after initial curiosity over the premiere. RICK DU BROW HOME CaALONe A Family Comedy Without Thi Family.

1 on the Billboard magazine rental chart, is living up to expectations. It has enough appeal to last another week or two on top before it's dethroned by one of the hot new competitors like "RoboCop 2," which debuted at a lofty No. 8. Before "The Godfather Part HI" opened to mixed reviews, it was the most eagerly anticipated movie of the Christmas season. It even inspired many fans to resee the first two, made in the early 70s.

Both did well enough to show up on the video sales chart unusual for old films. The package of I and II, "The Godfather: 1902-1959, the Complete Epic," which retails for $100, entered the chart at No. 28, and the original, "The Godfather" opened at No. 39. Though it grossed $107 million at the box office, "Dick Tracy," featuring Warren Beatty and Madonna, was considered a disappointment.

It was expected to gross twice as much and be the merchandising phenomenon of 1990. In the rental market, "Tracy" opened at No. 17 but could be No. 1 in the next, week or two.
