it was a classic three
minutes of television — Joe
(locker and John Belushi
on stage together. Belushi,
one of the regulars on
NBC’s “Saturday Night,”
does an uncanny im-
pression of the twitchy-
armed, beer-bellied, pug-
faced, hoarse-voiced
British singer; a while
back on “Saturday Night"
we got a glimpse of his
Cocker persona as Belushi
staggered on camera at
the end of a song by Don
Russell, Cocker’s ex-
touring partner.

And, sure enough, on
October 2 when guest star
Joe Cocker hit the stage for
“Feeling Alright,” Belushi
was there with him. The
two were dressed in
identical tee-shirts and
suits and, vocally. it was
hard to tell who was
imitating who. They
traded verses and sang
together; by the end
Cocker was copying
Beiushi’s Cockerisms.

In his dressing room
afterwards, Cocker told
Rolling Stone that he’d
enjoyed the duet, although,
“I still think he’s
horrible." 0n the air,
Belushi tried handling
Cocker a can of beer. “He
wanted me to pour it over
his head," said Cocker,
“but I think I should've
poured it over me own
head.” Beiushi’s com-
ment: “1 love that man."

At a party after
“Saturday Night" —
where guests included
Mick Jagger and Ronnie
Wood (who saw the show),
Jack Nicholson. Paul
Simon and show host Eric
Idle of Monty Python —
Jagger was asked if he’d
now consider getting into
the same stage with would-
be Stone Steve Tyler of
Arrowsmith. “i‘m ready to
mix it up with Steven Tyler
anytime," said Jagger.
“Fact. we met in Los
Angeles and spent some
time together.” Doing
what, imitating each
other? “Nah.” Mick said.
“We sang together. We
sang country songs. "

Jagger was in town with
the rest of the Stones,
sorting through tapes of
their spring European
concerts. The boys want to
put out a live album...Aiso,
Mick has produced some
tracks for John (Mamas
and Papas) PHILLIPS.
The collaboration could
lead to an LP.

The Los Angeles Tennis
Club was the scene of the
Eagles’ charity tennis
festival October 3. About
2,000 people showed up —
but the Eagles didn't.
Glenn Frey, as it turns out,
Is the only tennis player in
the group. and he was still

to wrap up work on their
new album, were in Miami
mixing tracks.

However, Keith Moon,
Linda Ronstadt, Helen
Reddy and members of
Chicago did show up to
whack the ball around.
Some of the players were
pretty good, including Tim
Weinberg. Rick Nelson and
Chicago's Bobby Lamm.
Then there was Ronstadt,
who looked like she was on
foreign turf. She and
partner Minnie Riverton
lost dismally to Helen
Reddy and Olivia Newton-
John, as the referees ad-

monished, “Girls, you
don‘t rotate, this isn’t
volleyball.” And Moon was
good for the usual yuks,
taking the court for his
“comedy match" with
Mark Volman wearing a
helmet and brandishing his
racket like a machinegun.

The festival, which was
propom by a lawyer to
the Eagles, raised more
than $20,000 for L.A.'s
Concern Foundation for
Cancer Research.

Paul McCartney and
Wings recent benefit
concert for the sagging
city of Venice drew 25,000

2" i

people to the Italian city’s
historic St. Marks Square,
and raised $50,000. It also
succeeded in making the
Square sag a little more
into the canal — a couple of
paving stones collapsed
under the weight of the
crowd and water seeped
through.

Alice Cooper, who liked
Acapulco’s Carlos ‘n’

Charlie’s dining spot so
much he got married there
this spring, is one of the
owners of the new L.A.
franchise. The 200-seat

Sunset Strip restaurant
opened this month amid a

parade 0! Rolls Royce
Silver shadows in the
circular driveway and
glitter harlots in the bar.

Alice was there — with a
24-member party that
included Carlos and
Carlito, Bernie Taupin,
Micky Dolenz and fashion
designer Nudle. They had
their pick of such entrees
as Pork Jaiapena, Drunk
Sea Bass and Inflation
Steak(for $9.50).

Earlier, Alice had ex-
plained his gourmet foray:
“What do we have in LA.
— Hamburger Hamlet? I
just wanted a place to go. ”
