...BONNIE RAITT '70 had opened the show at 5 p.m., with her brand of tough chick blues. Bonnie plays fine guitar, and slide guitar, and would've been better off had she opened completely alone, instead of with her bassist.

...People's Coalition for Peace and Justice and NPAC have called for a mass rally at 2:30 p.m. on the Boston Common. Among the scheduled speakers are Howard Zinn, Ngo Vinh Long and Bonnie Raitt.

They released works by Bonnie Raitt (Warners-Reprise), Jonathan Edwards (Atlantic), and J. Geils (Atlantic). Guns and Butter, another local group, recorded an album for Atlantic but it won't be released until this year. The quality of the Boston albums was excellent, with Raitt's album being the standout...
