Motley

The fact that all four are still alive is nothing short of miraculous. The original members of Motley Crue - lead singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, lead guitarist Mick Mars and drummer Tommy Lee - spent much of the Reagan era wasted on drugs and alcohol and partying with groupies around the world. The wild times were funneled into the music, producing some of the most enduring hits in heavy metal: "Live Wire," "Dr. Feelgood," "Girls, Girls, Girls" and one of the genre's best ballads, "Home Sweet Home."

NEW YORK -- Smith Barney Inc.'s settlement of a class-action lTC sex discrimination case was rejected yesterday by a federal judge, who called the company's plan to expand the role of women insufficient."

THERE WAS the elderly Eastside equine connoisseur, Fats Drobnak, at Claddagh's Pub Monday. Dollar-a-draft night, and thus unsurprising. Thanksgiving, I observed, approaches. What provides you cause for gratitude this year?''Sure wasn't the filly in the 7th at Laurel on Satiddy. Led all the way til she seen the finish line and then like ta go in reverse. Women, go trust 'em.''Alas, the sport of kings is fraught with uncertainty. 'Twas ever thus.''Watch your langwidge, OK?''Sorry. But surely there is much for which to be grateful as the holiday nears?

COLLEGE PARK -- Most preseason analyses of Maryland report that the Terps' offensive line has just one returning starter, tackle Mark Motley.How does that sit with Erik Greenstein, a redshirt junior who is back at center after starting the last nine games of 1994?"

COLLEGE PARK -- Maryland is getting a longer look than it anticipated at its next generation of offensive linemen.The Terps graduated four veteran linemen. They return three experienced hands, but only redshirt junior Erik Greenstein, who started the last nine games at center last year, has been involved in the practice plan.Senior Mark Motley, who is expected to start at right tackle for the second straight year, was hospitalized for three nights for observation after suffering from heat stress last Saturday.

MOTLEY CRUEMotley Crue (Elektra 61534)Because the singer is usually seen as being a band's "face," a lot of folks figured that Motley Crue would be a mess without Vince Neil. Well, they figured wrong. As "Motley Crue" makes plain, new singer John Corabi has no trouble taking Neil's place,delivering "Hooligan's Holiday" with an authoritative howl and slipping a nasty snarl into the sound of "Hammered." But the album's real strength is the noise made by the rest of Crue. From the Aerosmith-style boogie of "Welcome to the Numb" to turn-it-up crunch of "Power to the Music," this band has never sounded stronger.

Hammond senior John Motley says he has learned at least one important lesson as a result of his wrestling involvement."Things don't always go your way, but that's no reason to quit or let down," said the defending county champion, who hopes to become a state champion this season.Starting as a 5-year-old, Motley dreamed of being a high school basketball star."I went to summer camps and played it all the time," he said.But by his freshman year he was only 5 feet 5 and was released from Hammond's team on the first cut.Encouraged by wrestling coach Bill Smith, who saw in Motley the kind of aggressive attitude he wanted, Motley joined the wrestling team and it proved to be a perfect match.

Attorneys representing the 8,600 plaintiffs in the nation's largest consolidated asbestos personal injury trial finished presenting their case in Baltimore Circuit Court yesterday -- nine days ahead of schedule.The trial will resume May 4 for a scheduled 32 days of testimony from the defense. Everyone was looking forward to the break."I'm going away on Saturday and I'm not going to tell anyone where I am," said Judge Marshall A. Levin, who has frequently found himself caught in the middle of attorneys' battles.

For an artist who was a pioneer and champion of the portrayal of black life, Archibald J. Motley Jr. had a somewhat curious life. When his parents moved from his native New Orleans to Chicago in the 1890s, they settled not in a black neighborhood but in largely white Englewood.His family was Roman Catholic, and he went to a Catholic school. Jontyle Theresa Robinson writes in the catalog of his show currently at Washington's Corcoran Gallery that "all of his schoolmates and playmates were white."

As the nation's largest asbestos trial entered a new phase yesterday in a Baltimore courtroom, lawyer Ronald Motley delivered a brief pep talk to his clients sitting in the front row."Everybody OK?" he asked the men whose cases were profiled during the four-month trial. Affectionately slapping former Bethlehem Steel worker Legette McNeil in the leg, the lawyer asked, "How you doing, boss?""Hangin' in there," answered Mr. McNeil, as he breathed through plastic tubes attached to an oxygen tank.

A Rosedale man was charged Thursday with first-degree murder of his wife, four years after she disappeared on her way to a Motley Crue concert. Baltimore County police arrested Dennis Joseph Tetso, 44, at his job Thursday afternoon. He is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bail. More than four years after her disappearance, Tracey Leigh Tetso has not been found and is still considered a missing person. Cpl. Mike Hill, a police spokesman, said it was "very rare" to pursue a first-degree murder charge without a body.

John Allen's career trajectory has, so far, been pretty standard. Local rocker knocks around in a few moderately successful rock outfits, settles into a group that plays Hammerjack's and the Recher, gathers a following, gets a song played on the radio a few times, opens for Motley Crue and gets signed to a record label by one of the band members. OK, maybe that last thing is a little bit extraordinary. Playing a gig in front of a few hundred Baltimoreans is plenty cool and all that. But getting tapped for this summer's Crue Fest 2, and being signed to Crue bassist and songwriter Nikki Sixx's Eleven Seven Music?
