ROCK ON By EtMe Ann Vara REVIEWS The subject of racial barriers in rock music is too large to tackle in a single column, and there are those who will say that segregated radio and record sales are factors of taste rather than prejudice. But these three new albums illus­ trate different facets of the "musical ghetto" phenomenon (which applies to white ghet­ tos as well aa black). a phe­ nomenon which started around 1970 and is getting more apparent every year. THe But Boy -- "Ameri­ can Worker" (Arista) -- The Bus Boys is a predominantly black band (the drummer Is a Chicano), which appeals mainly to a white audience. Their music Is straight-ahead rock 'n* roll, and they poke constant fun at racial stereo­ types. But don't expect to hear then) on FM radio. On its second LP, the Bus Boys take tongue out of cheek a little bit, leaving off spoofs of the Ku Klux Klan and white flight and opting for more uni­ versal truisms. In a business of labels and pigeonholes, the Bus Boys are difficult -- If not impossible -- to categorize They run the risk of slipping down the en.pty space between slots. Donne Bvmmtr -- "Donna Summer" (Qeffan) -- Miss Summer, who began her sing­ ing career as the queen of disco, seems to have decided that the way to remain a super­ star is to go for the "adult contemporary" market. Work­ ing with Quincy Jones. Stevie Wonder and other luminaries (some of them white). she has released an album that wHI transcend aN color barriers because It is too gNtzy. too produced to be associated with anything so basic or human as "soul."

But because she hes been pigeonholed as an R 4 B performer, she wW be relegated to charts called "black music" and played on radio ststions referred to as "urban contemporary." The factors making her non-croe- sover and Stevie Wonder decidedly crossover are not easy to determine. And how all this came to be within a musical genre that began when white kids started listening to black performers -- and. m so doing, changed the musical politics of the world -- is very odd indeed. ©« t O i Q| WNd Wortd o« Animate (ED V# © MiJIil lilinr CDfl Qndnn ̂gf Mow Ytfk 8 \PM. 0 Too Aofcad Far H MOVK KoM MfMt' (9 740PM O (B (Bfcukue A Uvtne Jon't •« hutband viiH* llw rotlauront.
