OF FLORIDA � O 0/kg FRESH � WATERMELON iI9ylb P rage Il Cross cads --May 2 At wire End by Enna, Namb!, Copr,nilMI ma dFwM��k!rraw, Wo I don't pretend to know a lot about football, but the other day when T was taking a three-week supply of news- papers out of the faM1131 room I noticed where an AV American quarterback, Steve Young, signed a con tract with a team in Los Angeles for '$40 million over a 43 -year period. I figured the kid has to be 22 or 23 years old. In 2027, that would make him 65 or 66 years old. That seems old for a quarterback to me, but what do I know? If he eats sensibly and takes Geritol, it could happen. When I mentioned this to my son he said a lot of foot- ball contracts offered big bucks on a long-term basis. He said "Magic" Johnson of the Lakers has a 25 -year deal worth $25 million and Dave Winfield off the Yankees will be paid $15 million over the next 10 years. He also reminded me of how I discouraged him from playing football because there was no future and no money in it. Children have a wonderful talent for remembering every lousy word of advice you gave them, but none of the good stuff. I had a feeling I was about to hear a replay of my more forgettable lec- tures. "You wanted me to work for Ma Bell, rememver? You said there was security in the phone company ... especial- ly when there was a mono- poly. Then you pushed for me to be a teacher. You said children would always be in great supply in this country. The demand for English tea- chers would always be with us. That, was two years be- fore the English teacher glut. "Then you got the idea I s oi>.ld go into t e automobile industry. You said Ameri- ca's affair with the big car would never be over, but would take me right into re- tirement." ",':re you finished?'' I'ask- ed. "No. You told me politics was dull and there weren't • any perks. Besides, the pres- idency didn't, lead to any- thing. If I wanted excite- ment, I should go into the wave of the future ... like selling underground nuclear ters. "You told me computers were a fad like the a hoop and the mood ring, but if I could figure out a way to carry 78 rpm records without breaking them, I could write my own ticket." Some mothers are lucky. They raise their sons to be 65 -year-old quarterbacks who take their $1.3 million a year, their Social Security benefits and .their Grecian Hair Formula royalties and live the good life. With my luck, my kid would suit up for the game in 2027 and Los Angeles wouldn't be there. CBC PRESENTS A BREAKTHROUGH IN VIDEO Songs by Leonard Cohen weave a magical video fan- tasy around the guests in a grand old hotel, in the half- hour experimental music vi- deo album, "I Am a Hotel", on CBC Television Monday, May 7, at 9:30 p.m. Cohen himself plays the seedy but benevolent resident spirit of the hotel who somehow seems able to bring people together. Toller Cranston, in his first dramatic role, plays the busy hotel manager with no time for his beautiful gypsy wife (Ann Ditchburn). There's the hot-blooded bell- y (Robert Desrosier) and the recipient of his passion, the shy but willing chamber maid (Claudia Moore). The troubled young lovers (Daniel Allman and Samantha Logan) seem to exist in tandem with their older selves, the retired ad- miral (Leo Leyden) and the elegant diva (Celia Franca). One by one their stories un- fold, with Cohen providing the mysterious link through his songs. He, too, has his tale of love lost and love re- gained, as he reminisces about the elusive Suzanne (A'berta Watson). Produced by Blue Memor- ial Video, in association with CBC and CHUMCity, I Am a Hotel represents a concep- tual breakthrough in video. The loose dramatic script by Mark Shekter ties the songs together with evocative ele- ments of fantasy and more than a little sensuality. 1 • 4 • !WITH OUR SPECIAL TRIM) CUT FROM P I iL!
