MUSIC BLACK CROWES : The Attitude : Atlanta’s Black Crowes, that raucous Southern rock ‘n’ roll band, and TV’s Eddie Haskell might have something in common.

So what’s the rock ‘n’ roll attitude? Marlon Brando had it in “The Wild One.” James Dean had it. Elvis put it on TV. Edd (Kookie) Byrnes wanted to have it. Believe it or not, Bob Denver had it--forget “Gilligan”--as Maynard G. Krebs on “Dobie Gillis.” Jerry Lee Lewis got in trouble over it. Jim Morrison and lots of others died over it. The Rolling Stones, those onetime surly, scruffy tough guys, had it. Now, everybody thinks Atlanta’s Black Crowes have it.

Do they? They were on the May cover of Rolling Stone magazine; they’ve made zillions on their debut disc, “Shake Your Money Maker,” and they got kicked off the ZZ Top tour for criticizing the corporate sponsor. And, they’ve got the look. You know the one--the way Eddie Haskell looks when he calls parents “wardens.”

Actually, the theory that rock ‘n’ roll merely reinvents itself every couple of years when things get too boring, is more like it. Just as the Stones recycled black blues and Aerosmith recycled the Stones, now the Black Crowes are recycling Aerosmith. Hey, it sells.

“People ask us all the time about our attitude,” drummer Steve Gorman said in a recent phone interview. “And we always say that we’re just being ourselves. Whatever people mean by attitude and what they mean by it, I’m not sure. We just do things we feel good about, and things we don’t feel good about, we don’t do.

“But since we are from the South, I suppose there is a certain attitude geared to the South. We stick to our guns more.”

But the Black Crowes--seemingly on every other video on MTV and having sold 108,000 copies of their album in a single day--can probably support an attitude.

“Well, I can pay my rent now,” Gorman said. “And I don’t have to worry about my next meal anymore. I just saw the dentist for the first time in four years. I’ll worry about getting a car sometime after I can chew without pain.”

And although it’s not quite like a Surf Punks and Journey bill, the Black Crowes and Jellyfish at the Santa Barbara County Bowl Saturday is sort of a strange pairing.

Jellyfish is this pop-rock band that sounds like the Beatles reborn (with a bubble machine), while the Crowes are these raucous Southern rock ‘n’ roll dudes. Are those party animal dudes in the crowd going to sit still for Jellyfish? Maybe Jellyfish will live to open for AC/DC in a month or two in a totally twisted double bill?

“Actually, I think it’s a great double-bill,” Gorman said. “Jellyfish is a great band. They play songs for songs’ sake. They’ve been blowing bubbles all over the stage when we play. We get a surprisingly good mix of fans when we play, including a lot of middle-aged people from 35 to 45 years old. I guess we strike some sort of chord in them; maybe they put us on a level of the stuff they used to listen to. It’s just a big hootenanny every night, a whirling dervish of fun times.”

The only problem is, if you don’t already have tickets, the fun times won’t be for you--the show is sold out. Waiting too long to buy tickets to a show you wanted to see is enough to give anyone a bad attitude.
