Mitch was at I ord all right on Tuus-day, but only as an observer. The band onstage just never got off the ground, saturating the hall with a pallid excuse for the Motor City's hard-hitting rock and roll.

It was simply another excuse for some second-rate bar music. Better would have been to have Johnny Bee's group, the Rockets, as the openers. At least the Rockets get off the ground, and their particular brand of barroom boogie is first-rate. 20-20 NEWS: The latest contributor to Creem, the Motor City's own national-circulation rock and roll magazine is Free Press columnist Bob Talbert, who sent the Kidz at Crem a George Carlin story unprintable in a family newspaper.

IT IS OBVIOUS from the book that Lewis knows little about the streets. Indeed, he confesses to being a smalltown boy from Massachusetts, who was fascinated by the revelations of "Jennifer Sills" when she described her career to him. "Massage Parlor" is written in the first person. It is.

In literary terms, a disaster. But as a work of pop culture as the kind of stroke literature avail able in airports, bus stations and train waiting-rooms, it is as fine a piece or pious por nography as has been pub lished in some time. It Is even Instructive. As "Jennifer" says: "One thing is sure I may be a profes sional, but when it comes to sex, nobody has to be an ama teur." One thing is sure Ace Books knows exactly how to give "Massage Parlor" the right kind of send-off. Lewis' biggest autograph party is being held in an EI Cajon, Cal.

IGGY AND the Stooges paid their first visit to Detroit in quite some time last Tuesday evening, when the newly rehabilitated group (backed David Bowie's manager and American company, a i n-man) played at Ford Auditorium. It is interesting to note that while Iggy was one of the first to put on a real punky show-going so far as to throw up onstage as part of his performance his performance these days is mild compared to the complicated theatrics of Bowie or Alice Cooper. Iggy's most endearing quality is that he is, pure and simple, a twerp. Undernourished, Loiutnbia R055 MusicjI nil 1 1 1 necessary; call 873-3670.

or 2:30 first but not the worst snaggle toothed and unbelievably gross, Iggy is the apotheosis of Detroit punk music or so it seemed from the New York rock and rollers who trekked to the Motor City as the guests of Columbia Records to see his debut. And yet, there was a kind of disappointment to it all. Unlike the Bowie extravagana some weeks ago, Iggy, fondly remembered as he was, is a monochromatic performer whose shock value has Ion worn off. Indeed, his new album has as much excitement embedded in vinyl as was visible on the Ford stage, and for an outrageous bxgier like Iggy, that is definitely too bad. nctures presents HUNTERS Production of 1j ff fc The WIiralMl of 4Lost Horizon' is as breathless as it is you are there in the awesome wilderness of the snows at the top of the world!
