ome people think Wellfleet is
this quiet burg where nothing
happens but the occasional
tuna landing. Wrong! There's some-
thing popping up there and it ain't a
fish story. It's Romance, and we don't
mean the lovey-dovey variety either.
We mean a hell-raisin' romp across
the stage at the Wellfleet Harbor
Actors Guild, where David Mamet's
gusty offering is now playing.
Irreverent , openly vulgar at times,
this production hosts a cast of men
who let it all hang out, in fact, al-
most literally in one or two instanc-
es. And it isn't just the "cheeky"
one-liners, racial jabs and insults re-
garding the legal system, pedophile
priests, chiropodists and homosexu-
als that bombard the audience; it
is the reality that we are seeing in
person and up close just what may
go on in the minds of even the most
liberal of human beings.
Set mainly in the courtroom, this
production is a glimpse into man in
his ugliest state and it isn't pretty.
However, it is damn funny and for
some reason even the most slander-
ous remarks are a hoot.

you didn't want to lie?" a defendant

ABSTRACT IDEAS - The Cape Cod artist
sitting before a canvas must think
sometimes: "Do I let my idea create the
form, or use a form as my idea?" The latter
road leads to lots of lighthouses, while
the former probably won't lead to lots of
sales. Anyone who'd like to hear other
peoples' thoughts on "Contemporary Art
and the Future of Abstraction" will find a
symposium on that subject Oct. 13 trom
2 to 5 p.m. at the Kogan Campus Center,
Room 519, at College of the Holy Cross in
Worcester. The event coincides with an
exhibition of "The Spiritual Landscapes
of Adrienne Farb, 1980-2006" (including
Avalanche, No. 4) at the college's Iris and
B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery through Dec.
16. Call 508-793-3356.

ghat's how the list would look if we were talking
atout length of musical careers, the first being the
IpBgest, and so too would the list go for subsequent
respectability amongthe general music-lovingpopula-
tion, not to mention the number of career albums, the
record sales of those albums, the number of Rolling
Stone articles and so forth.
Dylan, Mayer, then Lamontagne would also be the
order for the most deserved of $15of allourhard-earned

tj>id someone say
ghat'sright.Dylan,
folks. Bob Dylan.The
name itself seems

of^mystical allure.
A§ if Dylan's name
could get any bigger
than his status as
legendary.
It's no secret that not everybody likes Dylan. How
many times have you heard a mocking interpretation
of Dylan's nasal vocal delivery? There's good reason
for the distaste. Dylan's songs are rough around the
edges,particularly the songs from the last 20 years.His
songs can be long, full of all those pesky words, and
often the music behind those words can be strange,
always slightly askew from the typical musical sound
of the time period.
On Modern Times, Dylan continues to put forth
that gruff, smoked-a-couple-packs-of-cigarettes-this-
morning vocal,in front of an occasionally odd, almost
circus-esque musical background- There's a couple
straight blues tunes, arockabilly number, and a piano
ballad,allfilled,incidentally,with the trademark Dylan
stories in song.
The album is classic,in aword, and the kind ofmusic,
