HOUSTON. Texas AstroWorld has opened its 1980 summer season with a new ride: a man-made river designed to allow patrons to "shoot the rapids." "Thunder River," the world's only man-made white water river flowing in the middle of a city, rolls through ten acres Free-floating boats shoot into the river channel, fly through bottleneck canyons, confront rippling lagoons, bulging boulders, and stairstep rapids The boats are whirled toward a waterfall and then finally glide into a calm lake Realistic water action is created by two 350 horsepower pumps that recirculate 1k side. The "Geep" just keeps getting better Another consistent winner whose done it again is Emmylou Harris, whose latest set Roses In the Snow is a wonderful and quite commercial bluegrass-based outing that perks up the idiom (as she proved playing an acoustic concert recently), and plows a whole new road for her to follow as beautifully as she always has. The best new female singer I've heard must be Betsey Kaske, whose Last Night In Town album on little Mountain Railroad records introduces a vocal stylist as adept as she is appealing. From her funky cover of Benton Wood's "Gimme Some Kind Of Sign'' to a rich ballad like New York songwriter Rod MacDonald's Cross Country Waltz." Kaske proves herself a true ized by him in music, and.

oh. what music it is rich, majestic and powerful The stirring melodic beauty and intensity for which Townshend and the Who are famous surges from this disc It is a monument to the intellectual potential of rock It hits the guts and brain, and vibrantly pulses with emotion (one cut 'Jools and Jim" even stabs at the pretensions of rock Anyone even vaguely interested in the shape of pop music today and in the future should hear this record. Pete Townshend's art is a beacon lighting the way through turgid times. Another strong set of honest and emotional rock is Graham Parker's latest The Up Escalator It's a fine, coherent set of songs from a man who's grown into a master at penning tunes, and spotlights both the tough, soulful punch so evident on his last lp as well as Parker's more melodic A halo surrounds Pete Townshend's head on the cover of his latest solo outing Empty Glass. Flip over the jacket and he smiles at you with tongue-in-cheek spirit.

Yet the album's music and lyrics are pervaded by a genuine and intelligent spirituality that is unique to The Who's guiding light. No other rocker sees the world and human existence so clearly, and on this first-class masterpiece, the halo is much deserved Townshend sees life through his "empty glass" with an acute sense of lyrical melancholy From his tough, punk ode of Rough Boys" to the mantra-like "Keep On Working" to the rummy ruminations of "Empty Glass," one feels Townshend grappling with his very own existence The answers are in the pursuit of work Inve and a concept of God that he is too modest and wise to press upon the rest of us. Those concepts are actual A-C-D PHOTO POSTERS Presents Black White GIANT POSTERS Starts at $7.95 PETER TOWNSHEND TAKES on the rock critics in "Jools and Jim," a song from his new "Empty Glass" album.
