THEHARD REPORT
Mason Ruffner, "Gypsy Blood", CBS....Anybody who's ever made the pilgrimage to BourbonStreet can tell you about Mason. He's been workingthe bar scene there for years-- with open mouthedappreciation from drop -in fans such as Springsteenand Jimmy Page adding only slightly to the locallegend status his playing has garnered. That axe isthe big hook and they say you've got to see it tobelieve it. Til now. Guess all Mason really needed todeliver on the promise of his Epic debut of someeighteen months back was a little help from noteddialtwister Dave Edmunds --and his first tailor madefor radio rip -em -up. We haven't found a soul whowasn't totally wowwed by our "Gypsy Blood" samplershot --and we're talking walking to New Orleans if it'snot top ten inside of a month.
More On The Picks...
Billy Branigan, "Can't Love You", Polygram....Now here's a prime example of what I call "suburbanrock" at it's finest. Good looking kid, grrrreat jammin'guitar playing, and a mile -a -minute hook that shouldkill on the radio. Hey, this is that sweet spot whereDwight Twilley meets Billy Squier that ironicallysomehow eluded both of those groups. Forget hisfirst single, this is real rock that could go pop --butit's targeted your way, first and format. A surprisinglystrong song and even more impressive imageturnaround.
Ace Frehley, "Into The Night", Atlantic.... Hasit really been five years since we heard from Ace?Though he left Kiss at least that long ago and it was1979 when he hit the top 10 with "New York Groove",the name is still magical. That's what happens whenyou set trends. And what better vehicle for atriumphant return than another can't -miss RussBallard track --although we'll bet you didn't know healso penned "NY Groove". The finished product sellsitself --but with Ace's name, Russ's writing rep, andthe guaranteed big ride at CHR, your mind shouldalmost be made up before that tonearm touchesdown.
The Replacements, "Alex Chilton", Sire/WB....Isn't it odd that the New/Alternative to Mainstreamcross should be so difficult, especially consideringthe wealth of styles and attitudes the former has tooffer? Plus, isn't it true that in many cases criticalacclaim further tends to typecast the genre's brighteststars as strictly cutting edge talent? Thus, who wouldhave suspected this reformed garage/ thrash mediadarling band would come up with such a wonderfulcommercial radio song --about one of pop music'scultural heroes, no less. And it's only one of severalamazing numbers --including "Skyway", "Can't HardlyWait" and "The Ledge". As KGON's Inessa York says,"Reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen and earlyU2. Could be something here". Hmmmmm.
RECORD OF THE WEEKSuzanne Vega, "Luka", A&M.... We can't play this poignant powerhouse enough around the office--- andloved hearing from David Dye at WIOQ that it has already taken over as the dominant request item. And 21 OTBadds? That's almost as many stations as her last solo or "Pretty in Pink" managed to cume. WLAV's ArisHampers advises, "Put this lady on and watch her work for you. She has a hypnotic quality that upper demoscan't resist.".... WHCN's Kim Alexander says of the female perspective, "'Luka' breaks my heart. I have a vividpicture of what this song looks like and I never want to see the video".... From KBCO's Doug Clifton, "Suzannemelts even the roughest toughest outlaw into a pile of trail mud. She has grabbed a spot in my heart".... Animportant record --both in terms of Vega's career and the subject matter.
ANImmilmmlimEmm ALSO NEW THIS WEEKJon Butcher, "Holy War", Capitol.... I'dconsider this the most automatic second track you'lldeal with in the next couple of weeks. We say"Saving Grace" has more than earned it for Jon withsolid top 10 play, his best request follow throughever, pages of programmer positives, and a salespattern that has pushed the unit count past the 100Kmark. And just think of the competition he's had toface. It's our feeling that "Holy War" is an evenstronger reaction track in terms of overall dynamicsand certainly in terms of topicality. Already on WAAF,WPLR, KZAP, WHCN, WHJY, WNEW, and KRXQ.
Farrenheit, "Lost In Loveland", WB.... Thoughmany AOR programmers initially thought "Fool In
Love" needed a few more rough edges, it's rock radioroll call came through with flying colors --with plentyof high clout call letters topping the list. All the tunereally needed was more CHR support, and thehesitation is definitely their loss. Luckily the newsingle has that edge some of you were looking for --and a much better than average hook.
Andy Taylor, "Don't Let Me Die Young",MCA.... We sure thought the Duran connection wasthe AOR equivalent of the plague --but Andy iscertainly sitting pretty with one of '87's moreimpressive comeback/ turnaround scenarios. And thatwasn't even the best track --as per this from HarveyKojan at KLOL, "Now that the audience knows Andycan rock, it's time to play the tune with serious hitpotential".
Danny Wilson, "Mary's Prayer", Virgin....Rather interesting set of circumstances, eh Watson?It's a band not a person.... Named after the leadingman in a 1952 Sinatra movie... After Spencer Tracy'sestate made them stop using his name.... Well, theycertainly don't sound Scottish to me.... And isanybody else making music like this?... Ah Hah. Justas I thought, this is just another elaborate scam fromthose dukes of deceit Becker and Fagen.... I knewthey'd surface once the guitar army rolled by... Quick,get me John Sebastian on the phone....
Shy, "Break Down The Walls", RCA....The credits alone should put your precious metal
detector into hyperdrive. Produced by Neil "Hall andOates/Dokken/Autograph" Kernan, Don Dokken onco -writer credits, with front man Tony Mills last heardsinging backup on Cinderella's double platinumdebut. That may not get it added --but it should ratea priority audition. Listen and you'll hear one helluvahigh gloss rocker. Listen again and read your rave inthis space next week.
Stryper, "Free", Enigma.... Their MN exposureand apparently endless touring has set the stage forsomething even bigger than the gonzo sales curvethey already enjoy. What's this picture lack? Howabout a monster single? Rick Winward and theEnigma folks put "Free" on the Eagle in Dallas twoweeks ago, and Redbeard's in this week at KTXQ. It'ssignificantly easier to program than Poison --and itwon't be long til you feel the ripples.

THEHARD REPORT
IMPACT TRACKS
David Bowie, "Never Let Me Down", EMI....Our pick track "Time Will Crawl" finishes first in thisweek's big stakes Most Added with 65 --but simplyoutperforming the Petty record doesn't begin tocapture the essence of the radio regard andexcitement for the Lp we felt this week. Our reporterslove the fact that he's rocking again, with equally highpraise for the obvious track depth. Al Branca,WMGM, "He's back with his strongest Lp of the80's".... Stacy Yelton, WKQQ, "Just exquisite. It reallyis a return to rock and roll".... Glenn Stewart, WHJY,"Bowie is back with a vengeance with his best albumof rock and roll since 'The Lodger'." Stew Schantz,WPDH, "His best in about five albums".... Tom Starr,WOUR "Bowie at his best is wonderful and it's goodto have him back".... Karen Small, WGIR, "Glad tohear such a solid rock effort after his two previousdance -tinged Lps".... Duane Sherman, WTOS, "Davidreturns triumphant, already generating muchorequests".... Chartwise, "Day In Day Out" gains 5-4*,with 16 increases, 27 powers and 108 heavies --whiledebuting at #10 Most Requested with 15 top 5
mentions. "Time Will Crawl" collects 13 heavies(KBCO, KOME, KRXQ, KSJO, WAAF, WDVE, WHCN,WHJY, WPLR) and a #43 debut, with "Bang Bang"new at #90 with 34 adds. Also note healthy interestin the title track (20 adds/KFOG, KSJO, WMMR,WGTR, WIYY, WIOQ), and "New York" (14 addsincluding KRQR, KFOG, KSHE, WAAF, KISW, KLOL,and WNOR). New at #5 Album Impact.
R.E.M., "Ages Of You", IRS/A&M.... The greatlittle tune that's been hiding under a rock findsanother soft spot on the Hard Hundred --with ourfourth longest 71-57* advance. The strong addpattern continues with 23 more stations and 73 todate. And there's plenty of major market interest, asper early action at the likes of KFOG, KOME, KSJO,KYYS, KZEW, WAAF, WCCC, WKLS, WLLZ, KBCO,KMOD, WDIZ, WQFM, WRIF and WYNF.
Fleetwood Mac, "Tango In The Night", WB....Although "Seven Wonders" remains comfortably outfront in terms of album tracks --with 18 more adds, 7increases and a 32-23 gain, the new 12" is alsogaining rapidly. "Tango" turns in 9 adds (includingKZEW, WIOT, WNOR, and KLOS), 11 increases (KATT,KMOD, WKLS, WRKI, KICT, KGON), all of whichtranslates to a 42-38* Hard Hundred move. "Isn't ItMidnight" is the other big winner this week, climbing52-45* with 9 adds, 5 ups, and 64 total.The Truth, "Weapons Of Love", IRS.... Portraitof a debut blowout: New on 12, now on 149, uppedon 14, heavy on 17 --including KBPI, KQRS, KSQY,WGTR, WKQQ, WMAD, WNOR, and WIMZ. Naturally,the charts kill; 23-17 on the Hard Hundred, with theweek's third highest #23 album debut. Over thecourse of a year you'll be ale to count starts thisfast on two hands. Now 54 reports away from totalclose-out. What's the hold up?Autograph, "Dance All Night", RCA.... Thefollow-up's second consecutive killer week puts 11more adds on the board, including WAPL, KNCN,KKDJ, KDJK, WQFM, WRCN, and KATT, with WDHAand KATP already showing ilncreases. Although thefast traffic up ahead pushed the Lp back a notch to#44, please note the underline for points --due to the78-70 move for "Dance". Now on 45 Hard Reporters,WDIZ, WRIF, WYNF, KICT, KDJK, WLLZ, WKDF,KOME, KISS and KBPI included.
Little Steven, "Trail Of Broken Treaties",EMI.... 62 out of the box adds and a #54 HardHundred entry make this Steve's hottest start ever --and this time the kickoff party is far bigger than hisbuilt in fans. WLLZ's Jim Pemberton said, "It's highon my list this week. It honestly took me severallistens, but after that I was hooked".... Ditto WIOT'sJim Steel, "You might have to listen to it a couple oftimes, but after a few spins you'll be in love with it.His most important work to date".... From WLNZ'sCathy Down, "I must admit that I've never been afollower, but his latest has put me on top of thelist".... WHMD's Phil Colwart calls it "An instantsmash. Classic E Street stuff with a golden touch ofhis own".... And from KZEL's Jim Trapp, "Little Stevenputs out his best cut ever. Get smart, America, you'reonly as good as your word and this track doesn'tlie"....
Tom Petty, "Let Me Up (I've Had Enough),MCA.... Though lead cut honors are still up in theair --"Runaway Trains" topped the list of what wenton the air --with 62 adds and a #44 debut. Thencomes "Think About Me" (our favorite) with 40 addsand a #65 showing, with 39 reports for "DamageYou've Done" (d69), 22 for "My Life/Your World" (d84),and additional interest in the title track and "All MixedUp". Glenn Stewart comments, "The new albumanswers the question of who's better to work with --Dave Stewart or Bob Dylan? Isn't it obvious?".... FromWDVE's Anthony Alfonsi, "The influence of Bob Dylanis apparent as well as some influence from theRolling Stones. I think Tom listened to "Exiles onMain Street right before he recorded the album"....and from WMMR's Erin Riley, "Can't tell how much itjazzed me to receive a great Petty record. I'm a fanfrom the beginning, but the man has had his ups anddowns. Mostly ups, of course, but "Let Me Up" is allups".... From KGON's Inessa York, "There's simply nodoubt that Tom Petty has found his musical soulmatein Bob Dylan. The Lp is a real joy."Gary Moore, "Over The Hills And Far Away",Virgin.... Those phones be building --with fast Top 5action at KFMF, KMJX, WYNF, KAZY, KJOT andWRXK. The new believers are lined up, too --withadds at WCCC, WGTR, WIOT, WLNZ, WRDU, WRQK,KEZE, KLOS, KMOD, WCMF, WKDF--and half adozen more. WOUR's Tom Starr speaks for the earlydoubters, "'Over The Hills And Far Away' was wherewe figured Gary was headed until this new oneignited the phones. That long version is driving 'emwild at night".... Note the nifty 38-33* HH move,thanks in part to this week's 12 play -ups.
Rick Medlocke And Blackfoot, "SaturdayNight", Atlantic.... The Big Night Out promotioncombines with a beautifully timed and executedremake --and bingo! We've got out of the box adds atWRIF, WDHA, KSQY, KISS, WYNF, WDVE, KLPX,KATT, KATP--and 13 more, good for a #100 HardHundred debut. WEGR's Kelly Cruise says, "I'm a bigBlackfoot fan from way back, so it's great to hearRick again --and doing an Old Herman Brood tune,Yeah!!".... KGON's Inessa York agrees, "I'm enjoyingthe cover of this fun little tune. Some of the sameappeals can be drawn with Medlocke and GreggAllman. It's the kind of style that never seems to losetouch with its audience".... KATP's Dale Miller reports,"Blackfoot is back and as strong as ever. Instantresponse when we unleashed 'Saturday Night'."
The Partland Brothers, "Soul City", Manhattan.... Well, it's part Everly and part Crowded House --andit's 100% certified hook City from start to finish. A natural for those leaning adult --and one that crossformataction could put under your ears before you know it. You know those smooth Canadians....

THIRD REPORTIMPACT TRACKS
Ozzy Osbourne, "Tribute", CBS....If you aren't plugged in to Randy Rhoads' impact on
Hard Rock, get your hands on the current issue of"Guitar World" magazine. As one of the relativelyuninitiated, I was truly amazed at the accolades. Theman's a legend, no doubt. And the street will tell youall you need to know about Ozzy's ongoing appeal.Bottom line --if your nights rock at all, "Tribute" is asure-fire crowd pleaser on multiple levels. "CrazyTrain" steps out front with 12 adds, including KNAC,KSHE, KTXQ, WNEW, KAZY, KICT, KLPX, WHJY andKMJX, with "Flying High Again" new on 5, includingKLAQ, KSHE, WKQZ, WGIR, and KFMX bringing in a#58 Album Impact debut.
Stan Bush And Barrage, "Crank That Radio",Scotti Bros.... At this time, we pause to let theBeave do the talking... KDJK's Beaver Brown, thatis... "With the biggies releasing their albums now, I
know how tough it is to get new artists in. But StanBush And Barrage shouldn't be passed up!" It's true!With the tops down and the beaches open "Crank" isprimed to be one of the major car songs of thesummer. Charlie and Dalfonzo at WSHE are expertsat summer sounds --and with WKDF, KEZE andWAQX rounding out the new action. Now on 22, newat #98.
TNT, "10,000 Lovers", Mercury.... KBPI nowlists top 5 phones, along with KRQU--and that's aftera little over three weeks' play. And we wouldn't besurprised if KWHL Assistant PD Cynde Maxwell'scalls make it a Top Fiver at her own station. Sheraves, "Rarely do I hear a song that I fall in love withat first listen. '10,000 Lovers' grabbed me within threeseconds and now I'm hooked for life, goosebumpsand all. It's the perfect blend of no-nonsense rockand roll".... Hey, who'd wanna try and follow thatquote? Just the numbers, pleez: New on 10 (KOME,WRCN, WTPA, WAQX, WDHA). Now on 35, upped atKISS and KMBY. This Report's third longest gainerafter Smyth and Winwood, 94-78*.
Red 7, "When the Sun Goes Down", MCA....The slow but steady build on this upper demo specialsuggests the early growth patterns of Bruce Hornsbyor Crowded House, eh Comrades? Seven addscouple with 5 increases to take the tune 64-56*, withheavy rotation on KFOG, WKLS, WLUP, WQFM, and agrand total of 64 now playing. WWCT's picky PhilManicki knows the score: "With those Sting -likevocals, a killer hook and tasty sax, 'When the Sun' isa no lose situation."
TAKE TWO Follow up tracks we feel merit priority airplay consideration--based on charts, comment and overall progress to date.
Cutting Crew, "One For the Mockingbird",Virgin.... The track many rock programmers havebeen itching to add since the first "Young Virgins"sampler hit (and the lead single took off like ascalded dog) lands 23 adds (including KOME, WDIZ,WHJY, WOUR, WPLR, KDJK) and a #79 debut in thefirst official week on the street. And the video/salesbase? Just ask KEZO's Joe Blood, "Retail on theCrew moved 17-4-3 the last 3 weeks, so to beat theCHR, in goes 'Mockingbird'." WWZU's Mark Williams'has had similar results adding "Overwhelmingresponse in both sales and phones. 'Mockingbird' isa tasty choice to follow up the #1 smash." Jump in--Carly and James this ain't.
Crowded House, "Something So Strong",Capitol.... 22 adds and 11 increases power upanother great leap forward, 50-37*. Yo, make theswitch to this In -concert favorite or we'll call Beltonein your behalf. The record's gold this week. WHMD'sCatfish Phil Colwart feels that "It's the perfect follow-up to the top ten smash single... We're alsoprogramming 'World' as a recurrent for albumsupport." And that's a hot tip, too. KYYS' Ellen Gerdesknows what she likes.."'Strong' is just the kinda'poppy song that sounds good in the summer." Newon WEBN, KOME, KSHE, KYYS, WDIZ, WIOT, WLVQ,WQMF, WYNF, and 13 more, Up on 11, with mega-phones right around the corner.
Robin Trower,"Caroline",Crescendo...Another nomination for comeback of the decade, asMr. Trower continues to wow 'em two tracks deep atretail, on the request line, and on the road. The deuceimproves in all departments, with 6 adds (WKFM,WQBK, KGRQ, WZEW, KBAT, WBLM), 5 ups (WYNF,WCMF, WRQR, KRXQ) and 60 now playing dealing upa 54-49* advance.
Patty Smyth, "Downtown Train", Columbia....Patty's personal touch on this Waits classic gets thenod from 21 this week, as 59 total (including WAAF,WSHE, WHJY, WPYX, and WNEW) compound theirinitial airplay investment on the first track. Waits fanStacy Yelton at WKQQ was "Skeptical at first about'Downtown Train'.. but after one listen I'm a believerthat it's really gonna fly." This week's strongestgainer, with a 25 position 76-51* Hard Hundredunderline.
Peter Wolf, "Can't Get Started", EMI.... Cut 1,Side 1 had no problem coming on where smash #1left off. 16 adds and 16 increases move it 28-20*,and with 81 stations still to commit, there's obviouslytons of room to move in the coming weeks.Currently cranking away on 122, with 34 heavy orbetter.
REO Speedwagon, "Variety Tonight", Epic....KBPI leads the pack this week as 9 more climbaboard, bring the total to 101 on "Variety", 10 ofwhich increase (KAZY, KQRS, KRXQ, WRUF), with 25heavy or better. Can requests be far behind? Top 5phones already at WKDF and WFYV as the trackmoves to #27.
Gre.g Allman, "Anything Goes", Epic.... WithHit Radio all over the track you took to #1 weeksago, "Anything" gets the green light with 12 moreadds (including WMMR, KISW, KSHE and WKDF), asour third strongest 19 increases motivate a muscular20-14* showing. A power play item on 4, heavy on 35,with 129 adds to date.Concrete Blonde, "Dance Along the Edge",IRS.... A programmer pick since the January albumrelease, "Dance" picks up a well deserved #96 debutthis week. New on KROQ, KICT, KRNA, WKFM,WRUF, WWTR, WKXL and KWIC --for 31 stationstotal.
In Pursuit, "Thin Line", MTM.... The new label tested the water with "Only For You" --and found healthyrock radio support at the likes of KZAP, WDHA, WKDF, KTYD, WRCN, WHFS and more --most of which wasfueled by a very successful Power rotation campaign on 18 million penetration Hit Video USA. Now the first realsingle, "Thin Line" (which also got some album play) is set for a major CHR blitz, and equally aggressive videocampaign --and a tour with Pseudo Echo. Keep an eye on Boston, LA and Minneapolis.

HARD ACTS TO FOLLOW. . . .
The Long Ryders, "Gunslinger Man", Island....When critical ears like CFNY's Don Berns are perkedyou'd best take notice, especially with an actpositioned to perform all the way across theNew/Mainstream/Hard Rock spectrum. Added at 9(KLAQ, KROQ, WNOR, KRXQ, KWIC), increased at 3,now on 36. A solid contender in the Next -Baby -Band -To -Break -Big Sweepstakes.
Hoodoo Gurus, "Good Times",Elektra/BigTime.... When majors like WCCC andKOME join a party that's already In progress at thelikes of WNEW, WKLS, WKDF, WLAV, WOUR, WBCN,WHJY, WDHA, KLOL, KBCO, CFNY, KJET and WLIR,it's time to send your own bad self an invitation. Takea hint from the 60+ already on board (11 of whichhave it heavy) and take this happy track for a spin.Adds at 5, and ups at 4 drive "Good Times" to a 66-60* Hard Hundred jump, bringing the album aboard at#38 --the 4th highest Lp debut this week.
The Cure, "Why Can't I Be You", Elektra....We'll be the first to admit that Robert Smith's voice isan adventure in "Acquired Taste" land, but repeatedspins will reveal a hook that could raise the Titanic.But your dashboard has already convinced you onthat count courtesy of our latest sampler, right?CFNY's Don Berns agrees.."If you're not used to thevocals, you may be taken back at first, but believeme, this song is totally Infectious after you hear it onthe air." Added this week at 4, with 26 total includingWZEW, WLIR, KBCO, WMGM, and KROQ.
John Farnham, "You're the Voice", RCA....Looking to get the Jump on a smooth and unusualcrossover deluxe? Pay attention, because that LRBpedigree will unquestionably move 'em off the markat CHR. "You're The Voice" could have been a hugecomeback for the group that put Australia onAmerican airwaves in the first place, and could wellput him back in the Crocodile Dundee league. New on5, including WYNF, now on 17.
Jon Astley, "Jane's Getting Serious",Atlantic.... Looking for phone reaction a la "Walk onthe Wild Side" '87 style? "Jane" is undoubtedly oneof the most interesting, maddening, quirky, andcatchy tunes out there right now. We dare you not tobe singing "Jane's Getting Serious" in your bestbasso profundo after about half a listen. 25 alreadyon, 7 adds this week including KFOG, WMGM, andWMAD.
Gowan, "Moonlight Desires", Columbia.... Andspeaking of singalong specials, "Moonlight Desires"has a subliminal hook that'll (as the song goes) hauntyou 'til you add it. Besides the obvious Canadiancontingency, WBCN, WHCN, WEGR, WDHA, and 35others are already gowan gators with early ups atWDHA, KBCO, KMMX, and KGRQ. Note the 90-85*build.
Mondo Rock, "Primitive Love Rites",Columbia.... After several weeks of speculation,WKLS' Beth Kepple puts the rumors to rest, admitting"'Primitive Love Rites' was written for me.. I'll sendthe pictures! We'll draw on the cave wall, babe."Whoa momma.. Now that THAT controversy is clearedup, here's the vital stets: Added at 8, with 82 total,increased at 7 Including WCCC, KRQR, WNOR, WRCNand WZEW--all coming altogether for a 55-46* HHmove.

HARED REPORTGenesis, "In Too Deep", AtlanticOn: 28 (P=2/H=9) Adds: 17 HH R-73
UPS: 3 (WPDH, WWDC, WWZU) SAME: 8 DOWN: 0Remember when Top 40 played little records fromuncool bands on the AM dial, Phil Collins had hair,and 12 inches happened only in your dreams?(editors note: can you tell Dahlman wrote this?) Well,now that they live to follow in (and on) those tracksyou broke weeks (and months) ago, don't make themistake of thinking those button pushers willremember where they heard it first.
Colin James Hay, "Can I Hold You",Columbia
On: 17 Adds: 6(KRQR,KGRQ,WRKI,KBCO,WTPA,WWTR)
Ups: 3 (WDHA,WHFS,WMRY) SAME: 8 DOWN: 2The other "Hold" from "Looking for Jack" is now theemphasis track, and the response to a calmer Colinindicates that mellow is the way to go. A track thatmost missed with the album release, "Can" could wellbe the one to make this man the solo success he'sworked so hard for --especially with the coming crossformat exposure.
Lou Gramm,"Ready or Not", AtlanticOn: 132 (P=10/H=74) Adds: 4
With "Midnight Blue" tremendous hang time keepingit hot and heavy at CHR, it's only natural to expect"Ready" to follow suit. If you're not all over this rockradio natural (as are 84 heavy plus reporters), sendthat CD back to Danny and Flash, goddammit.
Steve Winwood, "Wake Me Up on JudgmentDay", Island/WB
Same: 23 Down: 0How can anyone argue with Steve's success? Or histailor? Rock's heir apparent to Sean Connery strapsin for what will obviously be another huge single --and AOR definitely plans to be there for the ride.
WKXL, WNOR, WWTR) Same: 100 Down: 3The haunting melody of "We Are What We Are" isalready cross format certified at over 100 AORoutlets --quite an accomplishment considering howjudgmental most MD's are with softer crossovers.You need 'em --that one look at the charts will re-confirm The Other Ones position as the hottest dualdial item on the street.
SAME: 79 DOWN: 0Tesla has already proven themselves with the overalldynamite success of "Modern Day Cowboy". Now"Suzi" moves into the CHR arena and all indicatorsalready point to success of the highest BonJovi/Cinderella order --with not a trace of the dreadoverexposure than any multi media powerhouse hasto contend with. Hell, the kid on the street still thinksTesla is some kind of spicy tomato sauce. But usindustry types in the know? Who could ignore that tiefor #7 Most Requested with 17 top 5 phones? Lookfor "Suzi" to break bigger and faster than the firstone, and move early with confidence.
Journey, "Why Can't This Night Go OnForever", Columbia
On: 10 (H=1/M=9) Adds: 5 (KGGO, KGRQ, KMMX,WKLC, WWCT)
Ups: 0 Same: 4 Down: 1When you're in need of a bona fide first love teenhanky honker, no one does it better than Steve Perryand the boys. The latest In an apparently limitless listof hits from an album that seems to grow new CHRsmashes while sitting on the shelf.
Bon Jovi, "Wanted Dead or Alive", PolygramOn: 67 (P=7/H=25) Adds: 8 (KOMP, WRCN, KQDS,
Down: 1With bod shots of Jon gracing the inside of everyteenage girl's locker, how can you pass up a sure firephone burner like this one? With top 5 phonesalready at 10 reporters, go for the acoustic mix orextended live play for AOR uniqueness. James Deancoulda done the video.
Night Ranger, "Secret of My Success", MCAOn: 129 (P=14/H=48) Adds: 2 (KSHE, KSJO)
Two weeks as the #1 movie translates into megarecognition for the title track. Between Michael J.Fox, the video, and the band's ability to phone inthose formula hooks, this one's still got plenty ofmiles to go in middle America.
Rock and Hyde, "Dirty Water", CapitolOn: 156 (P=1/H=36) Adds: 5 (KQRS, KROQ,WPLR,
Now that the Big Push is on, we suggest youmaximize your airplay investment with the strongestpossible rotation --with KFOG, KYYS, WDHA, WIOQ,WOUR and KSQY among 36 already heavy.

NATIONAL REQUESTSWHITESNAKE "Still Of The Night" 50
T -K EXPANDSJust when you thought Florida had gone away...WSHE/Miami owner T -K Communications has paid
a record $13.5 million for brand new AOR WHTQ andsister WMMA-AM, busting the old market -topper bymore than $4 million.
I asked John Tenaglia, the "T" in T -K, about hisaffinity for sunshine. (The company also owns inDallas and San Antonio).
"What can I tell you?" asks Mr. T. from the portablephone in Miami. "If you're gonna build 'em for equityappreciation, that's where you put 'em, right?"
The purchase ends a four-year hunt for Orlandoproperty by T -K.
WHTQ has been an AOR for less than two months.Owner Bluegrass called on PD Dave Gariano andconsultant George Harris to take a run at market-dominating WDIZ. I'm not a betting man, but I'd wagerthe ranch and the dog that the intelligence exchangebetween Miami and Orlando AORs will take on awhole new complexion. This one's thicker than theRussian in "Rocky IV". Says WDIZ PD Rad Messickin regard to the $13.5 million, "I hope for their sakeit's not like JEOPARDY, where you have to give themoney back at the end of the show if you lose."
Assuming Bluegrass continues to fund the infantAOR with the TV and commercial -free fun and gamesit has in the past three weeks, T -K stands to inherit astation in good shape.
"I'm gonna keep it exactly the way it is. I've neverchanged a format yet. I've inherited every format I
currently have. I've modified them. I've improvedthem, but I've yet to change one," John remembers.
I'll ask the obvious next one: You're in anacquisition mode, what's next?
"You never know," smiles the man on the portablephone.
THRU THE DARK, PASTLYRight after we put the rag to bed last week, the
FCC went to town.The result has been confusion, victory
proclamations from both sides, great TV talk showsand millions of dollars of free publicity for HowardStern.
When the smoke cleared, we found:1) The Commission acted because it had 20,000
indecency complaints in 1986, twice the number in1985.
2) The FCC warned two non-commercial Californiastations, and WYSP/Phila., a carrier of Howard'smorning show.
3) In an unprecedented move, the FCC warnedHoward by name.
4) Regarding Indecency, the FCC has said it's goingto do something, but it hasn't said what.
5) Howard's show hasn't changed a whole lot.TV has been a scream. Larry King's CNN show
had shock inventor Don 1MUS, a civil libertarianlawyer, and an attorney from the conservativeHeritage Foundation, himself a former FCC counsel.When the talk got too serious, Imus accused theconservative lawyer of "spending weekends dressingup in a mouse costume, going to the mountains andtying someone up."
The FCC has sent low level counsels to the talkshows to be lightning rods. Po' lil hepless chilluns inthe audience aside, NOBODY in government wants tobe tarred as repealing the First Amendment. To itsadded disadvantage in the public opinion war, one of
the Commission spokespeople sent to talk shows hasa whine that would make Jimmy Swaggart come downon Howard's side. But, in the end, it is THEIR ball.
Meanwhile, Howard is trying to put together a rallyFriday (4/24). And as far as radio with pictures goes,Fox TV is planning five Howard Stern shows on a"experimental basis."
LEFT COASTAdding fuel to rumors about a change in sound at
KNX-FM/LA, Andy Beaubien has been named PDat the CBS O&O.
The station had been drifting Adult AOR onceagain, though everyone seems to agree it was moredrifting than Adult AOR.
Though the Winter Book was less than kind (seeARBS), both Andy and VP/GM Robert Nelson saythere will be no change in direction.
Beaubien's programming experience is AOR(WCOZ/Boston and KSRR/Houston) and CHR(KKHT/Houston). He starts the 27th.
KBC members stop by WKFM/Syracuse to talk andsell Amyway products. L to r: PD Stereo SteveBecker, KBC's Tim Gorman, afternooner/asst. PDBrian IIles, WKFM's Ashely and Nikki, and Jack theBassman.
LIVING ON TULSA TIMEHot on the heels of Charlie West splitting for the
KLOS/LA PD gig, KMOD GM Jim Smith has namedMD Jim Jones the new PD of the Tulsa AOR.
Jim Smith. Jim Jones. It's gotta be hard to checkinto motels with names like that.
Smith looks forward to Jones "maintaining KMOD'saggressive stature in the Tulsa market."
"I'm shocked outa my mind, I love it, I'm thrilled,"says the unrestrainable Jones. "But I'm really sadabout Charlie leaving. If he were to say, 'Wait aminute, I'm not leaving,' I would have no qualmsabout returning to MD. That's the way I feel about theguy."
Jones has six years at KMOD. He has been MD forfour. He will remain in close contact with KMOD's twoconsultants, Oral Roberts and Charlie, and foreseesno changes.
The station is first looking within for a new MD.Target date: First week in May.
GRAPEVINEThere is a BMW in DC101's Sandy Edwards
future. A W -BMW. She'll do midday when they goAOR. NOISE has also heard that the WashingtonInfinity station may be taking a run at DC101's AdamSmasher.
This has been rumor control. Out.

Currently, JM is fulltime student at the LeeStrasberg Theater Institute in LA and produces radioremotes with Z Zimmerman, and Bruce and MaddyGoldberg under the banner of California Radio ("LiveIn LA").
Steve: You are known in the business as an ideaguy. Where do ideas come from?
John: Ideas come from the obvious. They come froma need. Wherever there is a need, you find fodder foran idea. As far as remote radio goes, the need is toutilize the satellite technology more efficiently. Justabout every station now has a dish, but there is noprogramming that demands satellite distribution. Thatcreates a need.
The only thing that demands satellite distribution isa crisis. We don't have any at the present time. AndI'd prefer not to create one.
Steve: At WEBN, we had Brute Force Cybernetics,the "company that creates a need, and then fills it."Which makes me ask what you've got on the burner...

INDUSTRIAL NOISETHEHARD REPORT
John: Next year the Grammys move to New York, soLive From LA will become Live From New York. Weare expanding to other formats, including CHR andCountry because the need is there.
Steve: Ever want to go back to radio?
John: Somebody asked me that the other day. And Iwas in a room full of radio people, so I said, "I am inradio!" Once you're in radio, you're in radio for good.
The only thing I miss is learning. There areprobably a lot of PD's reaching those ripe, old upperthirties, and saying "What the hell am I doing with mylife?" Well, the only thing I miss is learning. When Iwent back to school to learn acting, I realized howmuch, how fulfilling learning is.
I don't care what the topic is, continue youreducation -- it's THE most important thing. It's notimportant to be successful financially, it is importantto never stop learning. That's where ideas come from.Expand your horizons. Take care of Number One. Andtaking care of Number One means take caring of yourbrain.
Steve: My brain? Why, it's my second -favoriteorgan...
John: John Parikhal told us years ago that if youdon't read fiction, you're going to go numb upstairs.People, especially radio people, are prone to the non-fiction of periodicals -- if any reading.
Steve: Parikhal emphasized fiction to stimulate thecreative hemisphere of the brain.
John: A great question for you guys to do next weekwould be: What's the last book you read?
Watch 'em go into cardiac arrest over that one...
[Rest easy. Even we realize it's hard to sellsubscriptions to people you nuke. --S]
Steve: Just tore through THE HUNT FOR REDOCTOBER. Hard, too. How about you?
John: John Irving's CIDERHOUSE RULES. It'scomplicated; I'm still in it, and I think it's winning.
Steve: Briefly describe your PD experiences inBuffalo and Pittsburgh. And if you were a PD today,what would you do with the radio station?
John: At WGRQ, we put the Superstars format onthe air. 1975. It was Lee's fifth radio station. It was thefun days. To be with someone who was just starting abusiness like B -A was wonderful. And exciting: Wewent from a 1.6-5.4...and we were disappointed! Allbecause we didn't know any better! Lee knew, but I
didn't.I think I was a good PD because I never forgot
what it was like to be a fan. If you listen to station asIf you were dying to touch or hear your favorite star,you'll have a good sounding radio station. Operatethe way a listener --your core --operates.
If I was a PD today, I would --as I always had --continue to work with the on -air talent. The talent isthe access your audience has to the radio station.
Do it all. I did everything at radio stations. My firstjob was as a receptionist.
Steve: What's a good way to work with the airstaff?What's your mindset? I always thought it wasempathy...
John: Empathy. And make your jocks THINK!The first thing to do is read HOW TO WIN FRIENDS
AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE by Dale Carnegie. It's sosimple, yet so Ignored. So many PDs have great ideasand fabulous potential, but don't reach their potentialbecause they don't know how to work with people.They don't even know how to work with thereceptionist --I know; I was one --and they don't evenget their calls properly!
Then you get the DJs to think like a fan, instead ofthinking the fans are beneath them. Instead of yourDJs saying "Those scum waffles are into genericgarbage; they wouldn't know good music if it whizzedon their leg." Get them to ask themselves, "Whywould this listener call? Why would they want tolisten to the station?"
Steve: That's why you like Skid Roadie so much,isn't it?
John: Yeah! Skid's a fan. He loves talking to people.He asks artists questions fans would. He talks tolisteners as If he Is one of them.
Steve: As you look back at starting The Source, whatcomes to mind? You're a good salesman --hell, yousold me on it, we (WYSP) were the first signing in '79.
John: When I look back at The Source, I think "Younever know what you have until you don't have it anymore."
Steve: Whoa!
John: Hey, The Source was like flying a 747. It wasthe thrill of a lifetime. To work at 30 Rockefeller Plaza,look up at a building that is 76 stories tall and knowthat you were working at the hottest experiment inthat building was like working on SATURDAY NIGHTLIVE, when the show crushed TV.
Steve: Looking back at the short run of Turner CableMusic, what's the first thing that pops into your mind?
John: Hmmm. continuedApril 24, 1987
HARED REPORTSteve: Acting school! Student loans!
INDUSTRIAL NOISE
John: If I had to work with music videos for the restof my life, I would be dead. They are an ingredientand participant in the music business, but the biz isfirmly based on radio! Videos are such a small part ifthe music business. I really think that if the Turnerchannel had succeeded, I would have beenmiserable.
Steve: Who is the most powerful person in radiotoday?
John: Bob Wilson of R&R. [Hey, you've seen it: We'llprint anything! --NOISE.] Funny, too, because he's amulti -millionaire and he doesn't have to work. He'sdoing it because it's where his NEED is.
Steve: I say the most important person in radio isanyone holding a diary. You get so caught up in thecorporate boogie, dancing with the home office, thegroup director, and all that other stuff, you reallyforget that the object is to get 'em to listen to it. Andsince nearly everyone --even in small and mediummarkets --now has to deal with a corporation, youloose sight of 1) the fact that you got into thebusiness to have fun, and 2) why people turn a radioon. Those are two of the bigger problems in radio.
John: Absolutely. You know, as a DJ or a PD, I wasalways looking for someone coming up behind me. I
don't see any giant finds, other than Greg Solk.Imagination. That's what we're talking about here. It
makes radio work. Radio is so much more powerfulthan TV. People ought to realize that. TV appears tohave a bigger audience, but radio is more powerfulbecause it uses the power of imagination.
Steve: Any advice to someone dealing with thecorporate situation? It's intense; you compete withother PDs in the group, your sales manager, andothers.
John: I think I got this from Strasberg--I wish I hadgone to Strasberg years ago. The number one thingto do is RELAX.
[Long pause].Only good can come from relaxation. Relaxation is
the foundation for success in all areas. Tensioninhibits good business.
The relaxation I'm discussing is a process. Youcan't just say "I'm going to relax." You have to stop.You have to sit with the lights off and learn to relax.
When the mind is vacant, positive things rush in.And if you, yeah, you who are reading this, don'tbelieve me, try it. Off the lights for an hour. Killeverything: The radio, the intercom, then loosen yourtie, and just sit with your head and arms dropped.
Then go to a meeting and WATCH WHATHAPPENS.
Steve: Great answer...stop the madness. You get alot pulling on you in the job. Including office politics.How did you deal with that?
John: Trial by fire. I did very badly with officepolitics. But I learned. I learned that was best for mewas to get out of them. By relaxing, I realized that I
was who I was. And only by relaxing did I becomemuch, much more effective. That doesn't mean youdon't work hard. You must work really hard.
Steve: I try to shun office politics, but they arereality. They exist. Stop and think about the time andenergy that gets wasted in office politics. Think aboutall the positive things that could be done instead...
John: You know who the master is? Lee Abrams. Heis a genius. He knows how to do anything. He has theknowledge of someone much older.
Steve: Any philosophy on life? Like "Money doesn'tbuy happiness?"
John: Money doesn't buy happiness. You and I werea part of that "let's all be millionaires by the timewe're 40" and now, as we close in on 40, the moneyjust doesn't get us off like we thought it would.
It is so much nicer to relax. It's none of that gurushit, it's just being serene with yourself.
Steve: Saw you on LA LAW the other night. Doingany more acting?
John: Naw, It's too slow out here.
Steve: If you could have anything you wantedtomorrow, what would it be?
John: The respect of my acting peers. That, to me, issuccess. At least, this week...
I remember the first day I worked andWCMF/Rochester. I wrote myself a note and put it inthe attic. One of those "I'll come back one of theseyears and this'll be important" notes.
The note said "I am going to be a program directorin New York City."
Took me a while, but I got there.

THE.HARDREPORT
PICKSTHE REPLACEMENTS "PLEASED TO MEETME" (SIRE) Rest easily and know that theirparty band image is cast In stone, as theReplacements forge ahead with an assemblage ofconfident new songs that carry the same spark asthey did in the "Hootenany" era. Real people playingreal rock music --all fun and no formula hascatapulted them into the rock radio arena and here'sthe Lp we've "hoped" for. They've quelled the thrashcontent and Paul Westerberg's insightful lyrics add anew dimension to their rising -star status. Of coursethere's that classic Mats tune too... "Alex Chilton" is abrilliant tribute to the guy whether you know him ornot, and grabs top honors as the Best song on therecord period. "The Ledge" is a terrific middle groundpiece for the first 12", but save some of theseriousness and land the needle on "I Don't Know","Red Red Wine" or "1.0.U". There's easily enoughsolid material on this one to launch it outta bounds...FATAL FLOWERS "YOUNGER DAYS"(ATLANTIC) There's raw power brewing inAmsterdam --a band with a rock and roll vision thatwould put many American bands to bed. Withgrinding composure, thundering licks and kick -outbass lines they arrive on our shores with a debutyou'd be crazy to file away. Produced by Vic Maile,(the man who graced the Godfathers latest) ruggedriffs, tight rhythms and a slight touch of recklessbravado is all you need for now. Seal up appeal with"Good Enough", "Deep Inside", or "Gimme SomeTruth"... and let's hear it for the harmonica.WIRE "THE IDEAL COPY" (ENIGMA)It might of been fate or just plain sense that reunitedthis entourage of studiophiles. Whatever the case, thepublic can only benefit from this group who'veinfluenced more "baby bands" than you'd everimagine. They Incorporated musical bits from theircombined solo renderings in the past couple of years(Colin Newman, Dome, He Said) and brought to life aguitar -based fusion of danceable works, not leavingtheir keen grasp of innovation in the dust. Still verymuch alive, this company of wonder makes a strongradio showing with "The Point Of Collapse" and thealready visible "Ahead" 12" with 12 early adds.NEATS "CRASH AT CRUSH" (COYOTE/TWINTONE) If you like to rock the house and your radartunes In on full-bodied, pure bred American garagestock, then the Neats have dished out the perfectfodder for you. Hell bent bar chords, and a toughedge meet with tradtional rootsrock on their first
NEW/ALTERNATIVElaRD REPORTrelease in three years. With not a measure to spare,Eric Martin's tough skinned vocals and Phil Caruso'sbluesy guitar works bleed through soothing noise on"Monkey's Head" and "Wind Up The Light" --and nowthat you've waited for the album, it's time to go backand discover the magic of "Angel".YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS "THE MEN WHOLOVED MUSIC" (FRONTIER) With songstylethat sets them apart from "same old" lyricalstandards, YFF have established themselves as asource for bright renditions of life as they see it.Their mixology of wit and whim has far exceeded theSeattle city limits, and with 2 previous Lps to theircredit, they've racked up enough believers to set theball rolling for a third. New unforgettables include thefunkified spoof of "Amy Grant", the reminiscent wordplay In "My Friend Ringo" and the acid drenchedurban insanity of "Get Outta My Cave". With anoverdose of legit bands floating around, it's nice torealize once with admirable character. So filter insome pure comedy and round out your list. *And ifyou book early, maybe you can reserve a spot fortheir gig at Paul Westerberg's fall wedding. No joke.THROWING MUSES "BIG SEX" (4AD/THIRSTY EAR) If you've been admiring this bunchfrom afar after the debut last year, now's the time tocollect the reins and reach out for the track that'llmeet you half way, "Cry Baby Cry". It provides awindow to understanding their unphased musicalbattalion of styles --beatnik hip hop, rock outrage andfolk influence all rolled into one Ep with style andgrace and a voice that merits a patent!
SINGLE FILEFAITH NO MORE "WE CARE A LOT"(SLASH) The demand for exciting new anthemsalways runs deep, so satisfy the searchersthe tins with one that'll provoke politicalconsciousness while instilling a raucous groove onthe radio.SPEAR OF DESTINY "STRANGERS IN OURTOWN" (VIRGIN) Been haunted lately? Ex -Theatreof Hate frontman has coralled a band brings hisinspirational lyrics to light on this flaming "Outland"intro.COLOURFIELD "RUNNING AWAY"(CHRYSALIS) Not only a refocused image for theband (less paisley, more jive) but this rendition ofSly's original will send off the bodies.HAPPY MONDAYS "TART TART" (FACTORY)John Cale's steadfast production skills make this abrief but brilliant encounter that joins a groovingguitar with a "Who Is This Guy?" vocalist. Thecontradiction is a sound highlight and I want more....Check this one out through Factory NY, 325 SpringSt/233, NYC 10013.
CHARTSTARSSMITHS "LOUDER THAN BOMBS" (SIRE)With Top 3 status a reality, this band is headed formajor across the board action and "Shoplifters" looksto be the breakthrough track.

NEW THIS WEEKWaysted, "How The West Was Won", Capitol... It's good to see the folks at Capitol giving Waysted asecond shove. "Save Your Prayers" is truly a solid album and certainly deserved much more attention that itreceived when first released earlier this year. All those years in U.F.O. seasoned band namesake/bassist PeteWay in the fine art of melodic hard rock as showcased within these grooves. This single is not the album'sheaviest choice (for that, listen to "Walls Fall Down" or the brilliant "Heroes Die Young") yet "How The WestWas Won" is accessible enough to make anybody's foot tap without restraining that all important bite. PaulChapman's thunderchords might take a back seat to the ivory tickling most of the time, but when it's needed,and least expected, he lays down some hot guitarwork. A good crossover choice as well.
Ace Frehley, "Frehley's Comet", Megaforce/Atlantic... A lot of Kiss fans have been waiting forthe return of Ace Frehley since he left the band fiveyears ago. This is his first solo outing since 1978 andwe are happy to report that this album is a perfectfollow-up. The Russ Ballard penned "Into The Night"is the logical choice for the first single --A mega-accessible AOR staple ready to break down the wallsinto crossover. But listen to "Rock Soldiers", thedrum -loaded "Breakout", "Love Me Right" and themelodic "Calling To You" for a taste of the Ace fromyears gone by. That voice, those guitar leads, all arefection of Kiss' early years. Welcome back Ace.
Megadeth, "Wake Up Dead", Capitol...Megadeth's "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" Lpmay have been released in September, but take alook at our metal charts. Strong sales, strong phonesand strong airplay after six months. With 300,000copies already bought and blasting in the homes ofmetalheads across the country, their forthcoming tourwill surely bring this baby home gold. On this remixedversion of "Wake Up Dead", band leader DaveMustain floods the track with machinegun guitarworkand full throated vocals which along with DavidEllefson's pounding lead basslines give the samebrain damaging effect as a wicked hangover.

THEHARD REPORT HARD ROCK/METAL
EARTHSHA-KERSTNT, "Tell No Tales" Mercury...Hot off the heels of their "10,000 Lovers" single,TNT's "Tell No Tales" enters the airplay chart at 6 -the highest debut of the week. A listen to the wholeLp proves TNT isn't just made up of melodic hardrock - they keep it classy even when exposing theirmetallic roots. Rian Wathen at WUEV agrees,"TNTwill appeal to the hard rockers without alienating thenon-metallers. They don't allow the guitars to drownout the chorus. TNT is exploding (sorry) at KVEZ,WDHA, WUCF, WXRC, WUEV, WSOU, KISS, KFMG,KNAC, and WCWP.
Stryper, "To Hell With The Devil".Enigma....They say this band has friends in highplaces, but it has been a slow, steady climb up theairplay chart for Stryper. Action on formats such asZ -Rock, WSOU, WKNC and KNAC move the album upto 19 from 24. But, take a peek at the retail chart- #7up from 11! The gold will turn to platinum before youknow it.
Tesla, "Mechanical Resonance", Geffen....MadMax over at Z -Rock said Tesla was the surprise ofthe year and he sure is right. With top ten spots oneach chart- #4 retail and #7 airplay- these youngdudes from Sacramento are on their way to stardom.Could it be their "Little Suzi" single? Maybe, but"Mechanical Resonance" is so deep, stations like Z -Rock, WVVX, WUEV, WSOU, WNHU, WRTN, WWSP,CHEZ, WKNC, KNAC and KOZZ will stay Tesla-rizedfor a long time.
Pretty Maids, "Future World" 12", Epic....Thebuzz couldn't be stronger. Pretty Maids move up 6slots to 12 on airplay chart, in one short week. Eventhe guys at Epic are amazed! Sorry, no retailnumbers yet, but the album isn't in the stores yet.The station list keeps growing... WDHA, WXRC, KISS,WUEV, WSOU, WCWP, KNAC and CHEZ are justsome of them. The comments keep pouring in aswell. Joe Anthony, of KISS, says: "Future World" hasa real progressive intro which grows in to a realrocker. We put it in regular rotation here." Bill Fisherat WJUL adds "They come across heavy, with roughvocals however they never get too thrashy. I can'twait until the album comes out."
Ozzy Osbourne,"Tribute", CBS...Predicting the success of this album is likediagnosing the sun as hot! A #8 debut is strongenough, but with #4 phones, listeners alone will moveit up and fast. Dr. Metal, WHJY, cites "The phoneresponse has been overwhelming, I was forced, buthappy to play four tracks in the first hour of myshow." Joe Anthony, of KISS reveals "We hadstrong phone reaction the day we got it in. We'vehad girls call up for it crying. It will walk out of thestores." Too early to tell that, but Z -Rock, WJUL,WFMG, WRCN , WVVX, WBAB, are playing it as well.Meanwhile, KNAC keeps adding more tracks.

They were suspected of espionage, andwhen asked to fork over their passports, they foundthey had left them at their hotel, resulting in a night'sstay in the local jail. Fortunately, they were releasedin time to perform at a major metal festival. Anexperience like this will make their tour supportingMEGADETH seem MEGADETH a breeze.

According to theproducer, he wants to retain the band's reputation asa heavy metal act but wants to focus in on strongsongs. No release date has been set yet.
STOP THE PRESSES... On Tuesday afternoon, OZZYOSBOURNE announced on the KNAC airwaves thathe is looking for a new guitarist to replace therecently departed JAKE E. LEE. The vocalist statedthat Los Angeles has always been a good spot foryoung talent and he wants the station to help him findthe right man. The guys at KNAC claim that demotapes, bios and photos were starting to flood theiroffices within hours of Ozzy's announcement. Butwhat happened you ask? According to the manhimself, the split was purely amiable and he wishesJake nothing but the best, but alas, he gave noreason why the guitarist left.

According to theorganizers, U2, SIMPLE MINDS and thePRETENDERS will perform in Warsaw, SPANDAUBALLET in Tokyo, ROD STEWART in Seoul and ateam of MOTOWN SUPERSTARS in Detroit.However, no record company will confirm thesenames and Island claimed to be totally unaware thatU2 would be making any such performance. "I thinkit's pretty unlikely," one press officer told "The HardReport". "They were also named as the group whowould be doing a special trade between Moscow andLondon (for the festival) which was totally untrue."The show is expected to raise over 10 million dollarsin Britain alone. The money will be divided betweenthe Save The Children Fund, YMCA's CareInternational Charity, and various third world relieforganizations. The Archbishop of Canterbury's specialenvoy to the middle east, Mr. Terry Waite apparentlywrote personally to hundreds of rock artists all overthe world to ask them to perform. He is still missingin Lebanon, presumed kidnapped.
A couple of visitors to London have experiencedinconvenience and harassment from UK immigrationand customs. DEBBIE HARRY, who was over on abrief promotional trip, had every last piece of herluggage turned over. The luscious, pouting onesmiled brightly at the uniformed ones and said "Sorry,guys. You're five years too late!" (What a chappess!!!)Also SCOTT HOSTERMAN, a friend of Psychic TVsinger GENESIS P.

ROGER WATERS will be releasing his second Lpin June, followed by a world tour in the fall. The
album from the former member of Pink Floyd iscalled "Radio KAOS" and is the story of a lonedeejay's battle to prevent his fictitious California radiostation from being changed to format radio. Ironically,the voice role on the Lp is played out by real lifebroadcaster Jack Ladd whose own L.A. station, KMET,has just lost a long similar battle (See recent "HardReports"). Quoted in "Sounds", Waters said: "If youare governed by the lowest common denominator,you end up with no KMET, only disco stations; notheatre, only soap opera; and no ordinary people,only Rambo." The Lp will be preceded by a single outhere on the 11th of May called "Radio Waves". Healso plans to turn the plot of his Lp into a film, whichhe has done previously with "The Wall" and "ThePros And Cons Of Hitchhiking". The world tour, whichpromises unique visuals, starts in Europe in Augustbefore continuing to the United States, Japan, andAustralia. Meanwhile Waters' legal battle with hisformer PINK FLOYD colleagues continues. Thiscontradicts recent reports that Waters had droppedhis claim. It will not be resolved until next year,however. Although David Gilmour, Nick Mason andRick Wright say they plan to release an Lp next yearunder the name of Pink Floyd, Waters cannot makehis counterclaim until they actually do so. A pressstatement also adds: "Roger Waters will never againrecord or perform with Gilmour or Mason under thename Pink Floyd, or at all."

The rest of the group are all on the dolein the midlands town of Stoke. Despite the utter lackof slick promotion and big record company know-how, the band have produced an Lp that have theBritish critics gushing in admiration. "MelodyMaker's" Ian Gittens says: "Draw a line that mightbegin with The Velvet Underground, pass throughsome Orange Juice and Josef K, touch the outskirtsof Smithsville...think of pastel delights, soft reflection,discreet pleasures, tender delights - something likethe joys of youth laid out in soft focus, shaped byevery influence under the sun."
Party of the week was PAUL SIMON's bash tocelebrate the end of his "Graceland" tour. Boozingmerrily were Elvis Costello, Fleetwood Mac, BobGeldof and Paula, his wife, who were pursued by theFleet Street tabloids amid rumours that their marriageis going through a rough patch.

INDUSTRY NEWS
CBS are fuming over a customarily vicious "MelodyMaker" attack on Alison Moyet in a recent Lp review.The record giants are threatening to withdraw all theiradvertising from the paper. The review, penned byChris Roberts, contained phrases like "Doesn't shejust remind you of a big belch?" It won't be the firsttime MM has suffered loss of revenue. A personalattack on an A&M staffer in a Thrashing Doves reviewresulted in complete withdrawal of A&M services formonths. MM responded by gleefully teasing A&Mweek after week in their gossip column until finallythe beleaguered company could take it no more andpeace was restored. CBS are somewhat bigger fish,however.

IN BRIEF
THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN return with anew WEA single, "April Skies". They go into thestudio to record their second Lp soon.... GO WESThave a new single, "I Want To Hear It From You",which comes from their upcoming Chrysalis Lp,
"Dancing On The Couch".... THE THOMPSONTWINS' Lp, "Close To The Bone", is scheduled foran April 20th release.... STAN CAMPBELL, formermember of The Specials, has a self -titled solo Lpcoming out. A taster single, "Crawfish", has picked upa fair amount of progressive radio play here.... Getwell soon to JO of FUZZBOX who had a cyclingaccident in her hometown of Birmingham, breakingher leg.... An unnamed HOUSEMARTIN sidled up toELIZABETH WESTWORLD (lead singer ofWestworld, whose "Sonic Boom Boy" single is ace -get it!) at an AIDS bash and said, "The rest of theband hate Westworld, but I like you." Clearly flatteredand considering his words, she replied, "Well in thatcase I hate the other three Housemartins, but you'realright, dear." How sweet.... THE DAMNED's nextsingle is "Alone Again Or" from the "Anything" Lp.The video is currently being shot in the Australianoutback? -71 BOY GEORGE phoned up BetteDavis after the Oscars to tell her he thought that shewas pretty damn fab. He is now the proud owner ofan autographed photo from the acerbic Davis. Ahh!
NEW SINGLES
"NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE" is the latest fromSpear Of Destiny. One would have thought that thisearly 80's group had seen better days. Indeed, whenKirk Brandon decided to bring SCD back to life I wasvery cynical of the first material. This, though, is areal winner and after a couple of plays you're a slaveto its dramatic, drum -marching rhythm and neuroticlyrics. Unhesitatingly recommended to Alternative,could just cross over to AOR too.
NEW ALBUMS
"NEVER LET ME DOWN" by David Bowie. Criticalanalysis is pretty useless in this case as it's out ofthe box regardless. A toughly produced, punchy Lp
that will insure full stadiums once again. It's just whateveryone wants and expects. For old Bowie fans likeme, that's exactly the problem since unpredictabilitywas once the man's trademark. Still, at 39, he stilllays flat a lot of the dross around - which is quite anaccomplishment. Joe Jackson's "WILLPOWER" isan entirely instrumental Lp, featuring passages ofmusic of rare beauty. One's respect for Jackson'sgenius can make us step back in admiration and givehim the thumbs up for any musical ghetto he wants tolock himself up in, but this is strictly "Village Voice"stuff that will never be played on AOR and only bythe braver alternatives. I love it, but it's not a radio"screamer" (apologies to WLIR!).
CHART SURVEY
"LIVE AT WEMBLEY" by U2 continues as thebest-selling rock/pop home video and their"JOSHUA TREE" is the best-selling CD. ThePogues and The Dubliners' "IRISH ROVER"deposes Erasure off the top of the indie singles, butErasure's "CIRCUS" Lp enters the indie Lps at 1,
toppling off The Railway Children. The Top 5 Singlesin the "Hot Metal" charts are: 5, "WILDFRONTIER" by Gary Moore; Entering at 4,
"MIDNIGHT BLUE" by Lou Gramm; 3, "HEAT OFTHE NIGHT" by Bryan Adams; 2, "STILL OF THENIGHT" by Whitesnake; and entering at 1,

HARED REPORTChris Emry, WIYY, Baltimore
I didn't really care at all for Paul Simon when itcame out. Took the CD home, listened to it over andover again and now I think WB was absolutely right togo with "Al". The horns hooked me into it. A bonafide25+ killer.
Beth Kepple, WKLS, Atlanta"Primitive Love Rites" was written for me. I'll send
pictures! We'll draw on the cave wall, babe.... TP hasnever done a song I didn't like. He's the only one Ican think of that I can say that about. Same thing on"Let Me Up".... Ever have one of those days? I haveone of those lives. And now to complicate it, everyday I get to wake up with the morning airline ofAtlanta radio, Nick & Jeff -- our new wake up crew. IfI didn't have a new Petty and Bowie Lp to feed myhead with, I'd be selling goldfish at K -Mart.
Kelly Wallace, WLZR, MilwaukeeI want to publically thank Atlantic Records,
especially Rick Sudakoff for helping us toast"Saturday Night". Rick Sudakoff is fast becoming oneof the classiest guys in the music industry.
Erin Riley, WMMR, PhiladelphiaCould the Tom Petty record be any better? I say
no. In fact, I might say flawless. I can't tell you howmuch it jazzed me to receive a great Tom Pettyrecord. I'm a Petty fan from the beginning, but theman has had his ups and downs. Mostly ups, ofcourse, but "Let Me Up" is all ups. He's doing whathe does best, with the best rock and roll band in theworld to back him up. Who needs outsiders whenTom's got it all all by himself? My favorite song is "AllMixed Up", but I'd need at least two hands to countmy other favorites.Tom Starr, WOUR, Utica
"Over The Hills And Far Away" was about where wefigured Gary Moore was headed until this one newignited the phones. That long version is driving 'emwild at night.... We love The Truth and after whathappened to John Tudor, you'd better too. You expectus to believe that wasn't the same Barry Lyons?There must have been a PD who hadn't added therecord in the seats behind the Cardinal dugout.... Top5 phones and sales for Whitesnake. Is DavidCoverdale's real last name Copperfield? You gottaadmit, it's pretty impressive for a band that doesn'teven exist.... We upped "Walk On Fire" to powerwhen Little America came to town and it'sperforming so well we're keeping it there. Thanks to
RADIO COMMENTSStu Sobel and Andy, John, Mike and Custer from theband for a dynamite live show. They're a great bandto work with.... Anyone looking for a morning showspike, check out "Daylight" from the WashingtonSquares.... Bowie at his best is wonderful and it'sgood to have him back.
Jim Pemberton, WLLZ, DetroitDavid Bowie, "Bang Bang". The album itself has
probably got 3 or 4 cuts on it we can use, but for nowthis is the one.... A re -add on Whitesnake thisweek. We felt like we might have taken it off a littleearly and re -added due to blow-out sales. Plus itsounds great on the air.... The Rick Medlockealbum was actually recorded in the city I live in,Canton, Michigan, with a little help from localproducer Ben Gross. We went with the cut "Liar", thecover of the old Three Dog Night cut. Blackfoothas traditionally done well here and "Liar" should fitthe Little Steven's is the other one that'shigh on my list this week. "Trail Of Broken Treaties"honestly took me three or four listens, but I've got totell you after that I was hooked. He has a lot of Petty -isms in his voice, but I think the comparison won'thurt him.
Glenn Stewart, WHJY, ProvidenceI was pleasantly surprised to hear two comebacks
in one week.... Tom Petty's new album answers thequestion of who's better to work with -- DaveStewart or Bob Dylan. Isn't it obvious? TomPetty has a collection of raw, kick ass melodies thatwill be AOR fodder for many moons... After severaldisappointing soundtrack songs and a tame album,David Bowie is back with a vengeance for his bestalbum of rock and roll since "Lodger". Bowie has away of wrapping his punches in silk gloves -- herocks with style.... Other adds: Robert Cray's "NextDoor", Cutting Crew's "Mockingbird", JonButcher's "Holy War", and OzZy'S "Crazy Train"....Addtalk: The Cutting Crew has a good follow up....Jon Butcher sounds more like Robin Trowerthan Robin Trower does.... What can you say aboutOZZy? How about an unbelievable package for thefans! Light night rotation.... Moves: ClaptOn'S "Run"goes to power; ditto Petty's "Jammin' Me"; TheCult goes to heavy with excellent sales in themarket; Farrenheit to heavy (just sounds good onthe radio), and ditto Gregg Aliman's "Anything". Hehas a strong market history.... Radio programmersand radio people want to play Little Steven. He'ship, he's cool, he's Springsteen.

Many thanks to all who helped,especially our guest auctioneers: Joe Walsh, JoeLynn Turner, Rob Jungklas, Brad Gillis, JeffWatons, Earl Slick, Mark Goodman, and theinimitable Vince Neil. The labels' cooperation wastremendous. Everyone went out of their way to help.You know who you are, thanks so much. Thefinancial highlight: Two ZZ Top guitars going for$4000. My personal highlight: I got to play keyboardswith Joe Walsh and the rest of the stars, as weripped our way through "Goin Down", "RockyMountain Way", and the requisite "Johnny B. Goode",all broadcast live on KLOL. It was quite a thrill, asyou can imagine, but no offers as of yet, however....Hey, this Bowie album cooks, doesn't it! We addedthree tracks initially, with "New York's In Love" theearly favorite, but the whole thing is wide open forairplay.... We're also three tracks deep now on JonButcher, and "Holy War" couldn't be more timely....Now that the audience knows Andy Taylor canrock, it's time to play the tune with serious hitpotential, "Don't Let Me Die Young".... Whitesnakewill not be denied. It's now #2 in sales, second onlyto U2 -- and we're the only one playing it, and untilthis week, only at night.... Robert Cray is closing inon the top 5, and it's good to see the emphasis backon the right cut.... We're very serious about JonAstley. I can't think of a better match of lyrics andproduction. I'll be dropping it in this week forreaction.... Another marvelously produced song is theJohn Farnham, and Rick gives it the thumbs up aswell. Just don't let him know who Farnham used tobe with. This message from the "ignorance is bliss"network.
Mike Z., WNHU, West HavenThe EZO album on Geffen is a must for all heavy
metal radio shows. I recently got the chance to meetthem and they are very friendly guys. Although youcan't tell by listening to the album, their English isn'tthe greatest. But it's in the process of improving. Myfavorite tracks are "House Of 1,000 Pleasures", "IWalk Alone", "Destroyer" and "Desiree".... The newD.R.I. album Is the perfect definition of its title --"Crossover". It is the perfect mix of heavy guitar,speed and intelligent lyrics. My favorite tracks are"Five Year Plan", "Tear It Down", "Decisions", "GoDie" and "Oblivion".... It's good to see some officialrecordings of Randy Rhoads playing live. If hewas still alive, he'd blow Yngwie Malmsteenaway.... I love the new Lee Aaron poster we got in.Too bad the album is not heavy enough for us to playit.... By the way, WNHU made it on to the Arbitrons intwo new counties this last report: Suffolk County,Long Island, and -- believe it or not -- our own, NewHaven County.
Fingers, WBAB, Long IslandGreetings from Long Island. Glad to see all the
Kiss albums finally out on CD. Now, all I need is theold Alice Cooper stuff.... EZO is still the hearthrobof this metalhead. I love the sound, the ValGaray/Gene Simmons production is excellent.These fine ambassadors from Japan are sure to makeheadway in commercial radio as well as the metalshops.... The new Ozzy Osbourne album is great.I'm happy to say it does justice to Randy Rhoads.Great packaging, great production, I love the lasttrack, "Dee". To follow up our Randy tribute at theSundance club, I played the entire album on EasterSunday.... In closing, a word to Enigma. Whathappened to my interview with Poison Sunday
night? Even though the band never called, I closedmy show with their track "I'll Never Forget You" (and Iwon't).... P.S. "Creeping Death" by Metallica is a
great song for Passover. I'm serious! Read the lyrics.Alison Stewart, WBRU, Providence
Suzanne Vega became a household namearound here after her stunning appearance on theoh -so -hip "Pretty In Pink" soundtrack. Now she'sback; more confident, more interesting and with amore promising new track. "Luka" is poignant popwith a haunting message from a new, fresh source.She's a special artist who deserves specialconsideration.... TP & The HB's producing debut isphenomenal. They come up with some raucous, rawrock and roll and a couple of sweet ballads.Tim Jeffreys, KAZY, Denver
There are several very strong cuts on the Petty."Think About Me" is my fave.... Ever since I saw himopen for the Pretenders, lggy been back on mymind. He's collaborated with Bowie on "Bang Bang"which is now our secondary track from "Never Let MeDown".
Dianne Hicklen, KFMU, Steamboat SpringsTom Petty has achieved what very few can. He's
managed to incorporate his roots and touch with anupdated attitude that is perfect for the late 80's. Thisalbum has guts. And we're happy Petty's back onthe air.... Same thing for the Bowie Lp. The overallsound of "Never Let Me Down" is firmly entrenchedin the here and now, but with hooks I haven't heardin a decade or more. The Thin White Duke is back ontrack.... On the strength of "Primitive Love Rites"alone, Mondo Rock could fill a decent venue inSteamboat. And, yes, we have them. The perfectparty, dance and twistin by the pool tune is reallystarting to make waves. I literally walking to thestudio itching to play that track. What's moreinfectious?... A big thanks to Michael Linehan for allthe help with the ClaptOrl show.
Arin Michaels, KLPX, TucsonDuring the past 20 years, people have been
working hard on refining the art of rock and roll. Andboy, oh boy, does it show here and now. Is it just ahormone problem or do we really have huge amountsof magic booming out of our speakers? The questionis how do we play all of it and do it all justice? Thefloodwaters are getting deeper and deeper and wedon't want to close the gates. But since we can't add50 tunes this week, here's what we've chosen toenhance our airwaves. Strong stuff from someserious folks.... Rickie Medlocke, a 30 year vet. (Hewas just a kid when Grandpa Shortie taught him hiscraft, then at about 13 or so Jacksonville's earsperked up and holy shit!) We're gonna start with"Saturday Night". The production on the record reelsthe man into the mainstream plus the collaborationwith former Mothers' Finest players makes the recordeven more exciting.... Little Steven, the voice ofAmerica. Thought provoking lyrics and the usual fullsound. "Trail Of Broken Treaties" should be a mustfor the entire nation to bang.... We're glad Petty isback with his signature bite. Could leave teeth marksin your turntables but face it, he sure knows how toreflect the times.... We're delving deeper into Bowie,Peter Wolf and Robert Cray, plus some brightnewcomers, Long Ryders, Del Fuegos, TheOther Ones and the meaty second track from theCutting Crew. "Mockingbird" rocks....

Thanks to everyone at CBS who made it possiblefor me to see BAD in Philadelphia last week. Youreally turned my head around about this band. Thanksto Jim McKeon, Rapp, Herbie, Mark Westcott andanyone else I missed. Thanks again.... Also, to thoseof you who are hesitant about Suzanne Vega, putthis lady on and watch her work for you. She has ahypnotic quality that upper demos can't resist. When Ifeatured her first album last year on my new musicreview, it got instant phones and sales and her newalbum has TWICE the depth and atmosphere of thefirst album.... Unquestionably, David Bowie has hisbest album of the last 3-4 years.... Gary Moore'slatest is perfect for our market.... And the OtherOnes is getting great phones.
Cathy Down, WLNZ, LansingI'm one happy bumpkin today because I received
not only one Easter basket full of goodies but two.The only difference is that one was full of sweets andthe other was just plain sweet. It was filled with brandnew albums from David Bowie and Tom Pettyboth sounding extremely fattening. Everyone knowsthat anything that's really good has to be high incalories, right? The Petty album has a definite Dylanflavor while the Bowie is beyond belief and isunquestionably one of his best in years, a
combination of "Ziggy Stardust" and "DiamondDogs".... Other tunes tempting to the taste buds thisweek include Gary Moore's "Over The Hills" andRick Medlocke's "Saturday Night".... I must admitI've never been a true blue follower of LittleSteven's solo style, but his latest effort "Trail OfBroken Treaties" has put me on the top of the list.... Afew chocolate wrappers here and there. A fewpounds and inches added to the waistline, but themusic that resulted from this tasty week was worth it.
Kim Alexander, WHCN, HartfordI have so many thank you's this week I feel as if I

The kind of style that never seems to losetouch with its audience.... The Replacements areinteresting. Reminiscent of Echo & TheBunnymen and early U2. Could be something here.
Phil Thompson, KICT, WichitaIt was all I could do to hang on to the new Tom
Petty & the Heartbreakers album and not play itbefore the official release date. You see, because ofsome unknown circumstances, it came in a littleearlier than anyone expected. We had a lot of funthough teasing our listeners by telling them how goodit was and almost misqueing "Jammin' Me" andplaying another track. We jammed it over theweekend and our favorites are "Damage You'veDone", "Runaway Trains", "My Life, Your World". I
also like the Keith Richards' guitar imitation on thetitle track.... I was glad to bump up the Tesla tune,"Little Suzi", into a medium rotation. These guys aregreat and the phone response was cause for thismove.... Little America moved into heavy this week.Here's some world class rockers that are really goingplaces and it's a real pleasure to be a part of theirearly success.... Gary Moore made a well deservedjump into medium this week.... What can I say aboutthis David Bowie album? Every track is better thanthe advance release. It will be hard to pick a backuptune, but for now we are going with "Time WillCrawl".... Finally, thanks to all for the great CDservice. All the new compilation CD's are fantastic,keep 'em coming!
Ty Banks, KQWB, FargoWell, well, my brain is still aglow and my ears
abuzz from the Robin Trower show here last night.After all these years, the gentleman ages like finewine. He even graced us at 098 with an on aircheck. Thanks to everybody involved. Damn nocamera! "Caroline" and "No Time" continue to beregular requests.... Also earning phone requests areTom Petty (by the way, the new Lp is my favoritesince "You're Gonna Get It"), as well as Tesla, LittleAmerica, and XTC.... We expect to go with StanBush and Mondo Rock next week.... After listening
to the entire Truth album,l feel much more confidentabout the single. It's an extremely consistent androcking Lp, somewhat taking the INXS sound onestep further.... Thanks to Epic for the platinum Europerecord.... Lastly, John Erdahl: You still look mah-velous.
Ellen Gerdes, KYYS, Kansas CityRobert Cray's "Right Next Door" melts in your
ears. It has a story that could be a mini-series....Crowded House's "Something" is just the kindapoppy thing that sounds good on AOR's in thesummer.
Anthony Alfonsi, WDVE, PittsburghSome pretty good records came in last week.
David Bowie's "Never Let Me Down" is filled with awide range of Bowie material. It seems to me thateach song on the album chronicles the many stagesof his career from "Ziggy" to "Let's Dance". Some ofmy favorites are "Time Will Crawl", "Never Let MeDown", "New York's In Love" and "87 and Cry".... Thenext album to arrive was Tom Petty's "Let Me UpI've Had Enough". The influence of Bob Dylan isapparent as well as some influence from the RollingStones. I think Tom listened to "Exile On MainStreet" right before he recorded the album. "RunawayTrains", "The Damage", "Think About Me", "All MixedUp" and the title track are my favorites at this point.Petty scores big with this one.... I'd like to thankMark Fritzges of Atlantic along with Rick Medlockeand Blackfoot for a Saturday night out. Besidesthat, I think "Saturday Night" is a good song withsummer coming up. If you have a convertible, it's agreat song to play with the top down and the wind atyour back. My favorite song on the Lp though is"Closest Thing To Heaven" with "Back On TheStreets", "Silent Type" and "Private Life" not too farbehind. His remake of "Liar" is pretty good, too.
Jim Steel, WIOT, ToledoCleveland may have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,
but Jersey is certainly the stomping grounds for greatrock and roll. Little Steven joins the growing listwith his most important work to date. Sure, you mighthave to listen to it a couple of times, but after a fewspins you'll be in love with it.... Although there havebeen mixed feelings about TP & the HB's previousstuff, "Let Me Up" has all the right ingredients to rival"Damn The Torpedoes" as the Lp people will mostremember from Petty and Co. It's three cuts deep....One of the more frustrating things Keith Masters andI have to deal with is the fact that this city is soconservative. That's why we are slower than most toadd new music. But every now and again a song asstrong as "Weapons Of Love" comes along by anunestablished band that forces our hand just a bit.And I'm glad to report that the Truth's springtimesing along is doing fine. If your market is reallyconservative too, try it, you just might be surprised atits results. I was.... Our Rally By the Rivers is almostset. After setting high standards last year, most everycharity picked this year wants to work with us. So forten out of twelve Fridays, in the heart of downtownToledo, FM104 and our sister station, WCWA will bein the limelight.... Whoever sent a copy of the newSpringsteen Book "Glory Days" to Keith, thanks a lot.He couldn't stand to watch me cry so he gave it tome, what a guy.... P.S. God, bless Jon Sinton.Skip Isley, WWTR, Ocean City

RADIO COMMENTSPhil Colwart, WHMD, Hammond
Finally caught up with Lou Gramm and GreggAllman. The sales and requests are continuing forthese two, and second and third cuts are necessaryto continue the momemtum.... The Little Steven isan instant smash. "Trail Of Broken Treaties" is classicE Street stuff with a golden touch of Little StevenVan Zandt.... The Crowded House is a perfectfollow-up to the top ten smash single. Too bad"World Where We Live" wasn't rereleased. That was agood song for us last summer and we areprogramming "World" as a recurrent for albumsupport.... The Cutting Crew's "One For TheMockingbird" is a perfect follow-up single for thissoon -to -be gold Lp. Hurray for Cutting Crew! Thanksto Bonnie Stacy of Virgin for the Cutting Crew sawblade singles. They made a great on -air giveaway....Sink or swim time for the Stranglers who move topower due to local sales strength.... If you want ahook -a -minute song, program the Stage Dolls.Test it and see if it works in your market. It did inours. Just think of those hot bad "Commandos" andthe Stage Dolls will dance for you....

Lin Brehmer, WXRT, ChicagoWho is it that attempts to fill our headlines with
alarmist stories about simmering dumps of toxicwastes and Northeastern forests decimated by acidrain and impending nuclear doom? Who is it that hasexposed the executive branch of government as agroup of shady, bumbling, horse traders? I think it'sabout time that we, in the radio profession, have theopportunity to confront the real problem that hascrippled this great country of ours. I'm speaking ofdoo-doo and pee -pee, specifically, doo-doo andpee -pee on the radio. While some of you effetesnobs feel offended by the racist remarks andstereotypes that our culture supports, we suggestthat you realign your priorities with the FCC becausedoo-doo and pee -pee are ruining the youth ofAmerica. I'll never forget the first time I heard theword "shit" on the radio. It was -- uh, I dunno, I
forget, but it was about 10 years after I heard theword in a school yard when I was five years old. Oh,when I think of the childhood pals whose lives sunkinto depravity after hearing a casual reference todoo-doo on the airwaves; oh, it makes me so mad, Icould just pee -pee. What right does the FederalGovernment have to define obscenity? How can youask such a question? Their legacy speaks for itself.That smutty James Joyce, that gratuitous D.H.Lawrence, I just wish I would get my hands on thesmarty pants who finally allowed publication ofUlysses. I'd send him back to Russia where hebelongs.... Music that cleared the censors this weekincludes a test pressing of the second NicholasTremulis album on Island. "River Of Love" is asong no one can refuse. This band has nailed it.
Also check out "Rhymes" and "Losing You".Excellent production, fine playing and a voice thatcould melt consultants.... Other records with no doo-doo that we added: The Cure, Tom Petty, REM,David Bowie, Suzanne Vega, Montreaux, JonAstley, Webb Wilder and the Replacements.Scott Douglas, KATT, Oklahoma City

Another hotphone item that is new for us is "Little Suzi" byTesla. In its second week on KRNA, it is top 10.... Atfirst I was slightly hesitant about jumping on "DanceAll Night" by Autograph, but early response hasmade me glad we did. It is a full-bodied, melodicrocker, and doing a great job for KRNA....

HARD REPORTStew Schantz, WPDH, Poughkeepsie
I think the Tom Petty album is just differentenough to escape the Byrds comparisons. This onesounds a bit more free form, not at all overproduced-- and a lot more basic, as opposed to the somewhatoverproduced effect of the last one. I think "ThinkAbout Me" is the best one.... On the David Bowie, Iwon't say it's "Ziggy Stardust", but I will agree thatit's his best in about five albums, and it's nice to hearhim rockin' and rollin' on "87 And Cry".... Also wentwith Little Steven, which is an automatic.... Theother one that we've been waiting and waiting to haveroom for is "Walk On Fire" from Little America.Good straight ahead American stuff in the Pettytradition.... Moves include: Genesis "In Too Deep"went right into power because we want to get it outbefore any one else does.... Think the new EddieMoney single is very good, better than the other twotracks, a natural follow-up.... Considering: The Truthand Gary Moore.
Beaver Brown, KDJK, ModestoWith most of the biggies releasing their 'albums
now, I know how tough it is to get in new artists. Butthere is one you shouldn't pass up!! Listen to StanBush And Barrage. We're playing "Heart Vs. Head"and it's doing very well. "Temptation" and "PrimitiveLover" from the same album should also beconsidered.... If you're not Teslafying you should be."Little Suzi" cooks.... REM has come through withanother great one in "Ages Of You".... Thanks toSugar Ray Rothstein for helping us maneuver at thePoison show last weekend.... Adds: CrowdedHouse "Something So Strong", an immediateresponse song, the perfect follow-up; Cutting Crew"Mockingbird"; David Bowie's "87" and the titletrack.... Got a Genesis add for the upper demos with"In Too Deep" and we switched cuts toAutograph's "Dance All Night".
Don Berns, CFNY, TorontoDid you ever get the feeling when you're in a club
or a small hall that you're watching something thatbelongs in an arena or stadium? That's exactly theway I felt watching the Mission UK in their soldoutToronto debut last week. This group has everything ittakes to be one of the all time classic rock and rollbands. Although not every song was to my taste, thepresentation more than made up for total content.The Mission UK are about as subtle as a trainwreck but who cares when everything fits together sowell? Great sound, great lights, great group. Don'tmiss them if they rock the house in your woods....Out of the box to the top of the request list this weekis The Cure's "Why Can't I Be You". If you're notused to Robert Smith's vocalese, you may betaken aback at first, but believe me, this song istotally infectious after you hear it on the air.... Alsopulling top requests this week is the Age Of Chancecover of Prince's "Kiss", a rollicking, rock steady,smasharoo.... The more I hear The Other Ones debutalbum the more it becomes one of my faves this year.We agree with WLIR that "All The Love" will be agreat followup to "We Are What We Are".... Alsocheck out "Holiday". In fact, check out the whole Lp.If you're not playing it yet, why not?... Ditto for DavidBowie. If you're disappointed in the single, try thedance version of "Day -In Day -Out". Here's oneinstance where an extended mix isn't just filler. Noquestion that "Don't Let Me Down" is going to bearound for a long time, providing some classy rockand roll for a lot of North American radio.... Singleadd of the week: The Long Ryders' "GunslingerMan" (more great rock and roll).... Album add of the
RADIO COMMENTSweek, "Shot The Moon" by Hard Rain. I don't knowanything about this group except they have one greatsounding Lp. Worth checking out out if you can get ahold of it. If you're interested, contact Andy Scott at415-821-4017.
David A. Ross, KMJX, Little RockWe got instant response on OZZYS "Tribute" live
album which is real good for night time play.... Realgood phones on Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, U2and The Cult.... A lot of interest calls on GaryMoore, Mondo Rock and the Truth.... Last of all,keep sending those CD's and artist drops. Don't makepromises you can't keep!
Jim Trapp, KZEL, EugeneLittle Steven puts out his best cut ever. Get
smart, America, you're only as good as your word andthis track doesn't lie. Great stuff.... David Bowie's"Time Will Crawl" is our best second pick. Dark, youbet. Bleak, and how. Also kicks your speakersaround the room big time.... With "Luka", SuzanneVega should make the move we've all been waitingfor. From the back of the chorus line to centerstage.... New stuff on KZEL includes Balaam andThe Angel with lush electronics and a mega -hookas big as all Montana.... Also like Scruffy The Cat;a ram 'em, slam 'em energy source for that iron poorplaylist. Have a good time with this one.... Coming upnext week to a radio near you, the Replacements.This one is hot.
Tim Parker, KNCN, Corpus ChristiHats off to Geffen Records with our top 3 requests
Whitesnake, Tesla and Little America.... JonButcher's "Holy War" gets better with every listen....In the Better Late Than Never Category, we're goingto run with "Anything Goes" from Gregg Allman....The new Rick Medlocke and Blackfoot isinteresting. We'll give it a test and let our listenersdecide.

THEHARD REPORT-- RADIO COMMENTS
I
Al Branca, WMGM, Atlantic CityTwo majors Lps to deal with this week. Bowie is
back with his strongest Lp of the 80's. This Lp leansmore towards AOR than "Let's Dance". There are atleast four more top ten tracks on the Lp. We choose"Time" as the second track.... Petty's latest collectionis also very impressive and "Runaway Trains" is theperfect backup.... Tesla's "Little Suzi": you don'thave to chew glass to like this tune. More massappeal than their debut.... Jon Astley's "Jane'sGetting Serious" -- Oingo Boingo meets LouReed, strange but oh -so -cool.... Suzanne Vega's"Luka", compelling lyrics and her best to date....Little Steven's "Trail Of Broken Treaties",danceable rock and roll.... Patty Smyth's"Downtown Train", good follow-up.... Shy's"Breakdown The Walls" could be the nextCinderella.... Also on Gary Moore and TheCure.... Rick Medlocke is something we'lldefinitely be dealing with in the future.... Thanks,Hogman.
Brian Wolfe, WGLU, JohnstownThis week we explode with a ton of adds, records
that I'm sure are going to be great summer tunes.First off, Rick Medlocke and Blackfoot do a greatcover of Herman Brood's "Saturday Night".Speaking of Saturday night, thanks to Atlantic's MarkFritzges for a great Saturday night out and all thehelp with re-establishing Blackfoot in Johnstown....Who could miss Bryan Adams, Peter Wolf, SteveWinwood, Robert Cray and Deep Purple.... Wewere receiving phones on Ratt before we played it.MN strikes again.... Red 7 and Little Stevenappear to be two excellent records.
Mark Williams, WWZU, WilliamsportThe response to the Cutting Crew has been
overwhelming in both sales and phones. "One ForThe Mockingbird" is a tasty choice to follow up the #1smash.... Suzanne Vega's "Luka" is a pleasantchange. It's got a real nice feel and lyrics you caneasily grasp.... Let's go on Deep Purple's "BadAttitude", people -- the track never got its justdeserves the first time around. It's probably the mostpowerful rock hit on the Lp. You can't deny sales....For those of us playing the Doves, we hear smash."Beautiful Imbalance" is still my favorite new track;instant hook, cutting vocals, tasty guitarwork. Listento "Bedrock Place" and don't let the name discourageyou.... Thanks to Bobbi Silver.
Renee Blake, WKXL-FM, ConcordThe Gregg Allman Band played Concord
Tuesday night, April 21, and I just want to say thatafter hearing his Lp, "I'm No Angel", it was a greatshow. Gregg Allman and the songwriters on the Lpseem to have some inherent sense of composition.Not a throwaway in the bunch! WKXL-FM ispleased to announce our latest staff addition, namedfor one of the radio companies of our time or aformer president, or even the Taft Hartley act.

Nice to hear that Brian Wilson still has it. I
always believed that one day he'd come up with an80's version of "Little Douce Coupe".... The bigrequest action is on "Tango In The Night", "When ISee You Again" (in particular) and Farrenheit's"Fool In Love" is a potential giant here.... Biggestsales here are U2, Fleetwood Mac, CrowdedHouse, The Smiths, Concrete Blonde, and theParton/Harris/ Ronstadt collaboration.... Somenotes on the latest "Hard" Sampler: Billy Braniganhas a great beat; The Replacements, good strongrock; Jon Butcher is good; Suzanne Vega we'readding this week.

WBCN would like to thank Ian and Billy from theCult for being guest DJ's on the Ken Shelton Show.From 12 noon til 1 pm, the band picked out itsfavorite music and chatted with Ken about the newalbum and their current tour. Boston is a big town forthe Cult who visited with Billy Idol. The last timethe band played the Orpheum Theater, they soldnearly 6,000 tickets over two nights. The band'schoice ranged from the Doors to Metallica, andeven some Cult music.... Special thanks to RogerGlover from Deep Purple for calling up WBCN andtalking about their latest album and tour.... As far asBoston's bands go, Jon Butcher's "Holy War" is akiller of a song. I heard it a couple of months ago, butthe timing for this new release couldn't be better.... I
can't believe that CHR has virtually ignored theFarrenheit single, but there is lot of great music onthis album. Check out "Loveland".
Jeff Carroll, KLBJ, AustinWhitesnake is blowing out of the box with instant
phones and top 10 sales.... Adds include: "BangBang" and "Time Crawls" from Bowie. I think thealbum's great.... Love the Petty album. Lots of goodtracks, with Tom back to rock and roll. It's gonna bearound.... An interesting political track from LittleSteven. Good music with good lyrics.... Also aninteresting interpretation of Herman Brood from RickMedlocke -- but with a lot more edge.
Kelly Cruise, WEGR, MemphisSo many songs; so little room. Little Steven
speaks his mind again and this time his messageshould be heard. "Trail Of Broken Treaties" is a
haunting rocker.... I'm a big Blackfoot fan from wayback so it's great to hear Rick Medlocke again --and doing an old Herman Brood tune! Yeah!..."Luka" is such a unique contrast between SuzanneVega's beautiful voice and the disturbing lyrics it
makes you want to listen.... I can't wait to exposemore of the David Bowie and Tom Petty albums,both filled with some goodies.... Great to see A&M'sMark Tindle in Memphis last week. I really enjoyed
Dr. Metal, WHJY, ProvidenceThe new Ozzy Osbourne album is a great tribute
to the late Randy Rhoads. The phone responsehas been overwhelming. I was forced, but happy, toplay four tracks in the first hour of my metal show.It's sad that this is probably the last thing we will hearfrom Randy, though.... I think the guys in Malice arethe greatest bunch of guys in rock and roll. They arecertainly the coolest people to hang around with andtheir music is inspiring.... I saw Zebra play anincredible two-hour set last week. I was moved. It'sa shame that they don't get nearly as much exposureas they deserve. They are one of rock's best keptsecrets.
Ken Glidewell, WOXY, CincinnatiI like the new Anthem album a lot. The songs are
really put together well. They are melodic but stillknow how to rock. They hit me right from the start....The New Chastain album is definitely their best yet.The drums and guitars sound better and it sounds asif they had a lot of time to record it.... The new OzzyOsbourne album sounds really good. RandyRhoads is still one of the best guitarists ever. Hehad the potential to be as big as Eddie Van Halen,Yngwie Malmsteen, etc. Unfortunately, we will willnever find out.... The Cult album is in regularrotation here. I can't believe it! A record with balls at97X! Congratulations to Rick Rubin!
RADIO COMMENTSDavid Ross, RCA, 212-930-4518
Autograph, "Dance All Night". This is the newsmash track from the album, "Loud And Clear", nowexploding at radio and retail. With over 70 albumstations already committing themselves, there's noturning back this tune.... John Farnham's "You'reThe Voice" from the album "Whispering Jack" isdestined to be a top track in America. With six of 20Australian Grammies and a #1 album under his beltfor 15 weeks, early believers in this record arealready starting to see requests. Look for the livethree -track CD to be in your hands shortly.... BernieTaupin's "Friend Of The Flag" is continuing to makefriends along his 20 -city promotional tour from coastto coast. Please take special notice to other key cutson the Lp namely, "Citizen Jane".... Shy's "BreakDown The Walls" had a good opening week at albumradio with many more album rockers to follow.Please give "Break Down The Walls" and their video,which is now in medium rotation on MTV, some ofyour attention.... Up next: Be on the lookout for TheLucy Show, New Message, Heroes, and WhatIf.... The Wine Tip Of the Week: B&G CabernetSavignon '74 New York State.
Jeffrey Naumann, Virgin, 213-278-1911Another suckaah!!! release coming your way from
Virgin Records. This one, the group DannyWilson's first Lp "Meet Danny Wilson". DannyWilson is definitely a class act which manyprogrammers have compared with a modern day hintof Steely Dan. "Mary's Prayer" is the cut to go with,which many of you should be aware of from oursampler cassette/CD.... Also look for the Lp fromT'Pau "Bridge Of Spies". If you think "Heart AndSoul" is too pop, check out the track "MonkeyHouse". This one is a rock cooker. Don't write T'Pauoff as a top 40 band. There's plenty of great songshere for album radio. T'Pau also has an amazingfemale lead singer, too.... Finally, you'll receive thefirst U.S. Lp from Spear Of Destiny which comesequipped with the 12" "Strangers In Our Town".Spear Of Destiny is already a well knownunderground band In this country and your airplayhelp should catapult this band into the masses.... TheCutting Crew's "Mockingbird" is out and on theradio, like pigs on corn, and oh, yeah we'recelebrating our first #1 record. Thanks everyone!
Harve Alan, WCCC, HartfordWhat previously unknown act has been selling top
3 for a couple of months? Robert Cray! Greatresponse and great songs.... Album sales forFleetwood Mac are just what we expected. Thisone debuts at #2 in Connecticut, and we're now 3cuts deep.... Tom Petty blasts into the radio stationwith a super solid Lp. In addition to the single, weadded "Runaway Trains" and "All Mixed Up".... Gary
Moore proved to be a solid add this week. Theinterest level is real high.... The Hoodoo Gurussound like the kind of record that's perfect for drivingwith the radio loud and the windows down.
Phil Manicki, WWCT, PeoriaThanks to Atlantic Records and Rick Medlocke
and Blackfoot for the bubbly. How'dja know sofast?.... Red 7 "When The Sun Goes Down" hasSting -like vocals, a killer hook and tasty sax. A no -lose situation With Robert Cray leading theresurgence of the blues, that genre is in great shape."Right Next Door" is the definition of a smoothsong.... Speaking of sax, Sandborn teasingly spicesup Patty Smyth's "Downtown Train".

RADIO COMMENTS
Robin Mathieu, WBLM, LewistonSome great albums out this week. Petty's at the
top of the list with his best since "Damn TheTorpedoes". We're already getting calls on "RunawayTrain" and "The Damage You've Done". And since aPetty tour will follow, expect this to be one of themost played albums of '87.... Bowie's "Never Let MeDown" is chock full of hits written in the best ofBowie's style. We'll start with "Time Will Crawl"....And if the Hoodoo Gurus' name scares you or ifyou've written "Good Times" off as too pop, I thinkyou're wrong. But prove it to yourself and give thealbum a listen for depth. On side one alone, you'llfind three more potential hits; "Out That Door","What's My Scene" and "I Was The One". "Blow YourCool" is gonna be here for a while, so let the "GoodTimes" roll now.
Bruce McDonald, WFNX, BostonWFNX celebrated its Fourth Birthday last week by
giving away tons o' stuff including a trip to LA to seeU2. The weeklong celebration climaxed with a soldout Smithereens show at the Paradise Theatre.

Larry Dunn, WLIR, Long IslandHere it is, Tuesday the 21st. Iggy Pop turns 40
today and tonight we begin 6 sold out co -promotes atThe Irving Plaza with Big Audio Dynamite andSunday begins softball season.... Every Sunday, I playin a league full of guys who couldn't care less aboutradio. If fact, reality sets in when you deal withlistener apathy week after week. But there I am, everyweek, turning negatives into positives, turning theless faithful into complete fans of new music. MySunday pulpit becomes a softball field. I have a goodcase this Sunday.... New music is happening. (ThankGod! The team would ship me to Columbusotherwise).... The Cure "Why Can't I Be You" isScreamer Of The Week and second in requests to
U2.... Suzanne Vega has come into her own in abig way. "Luka" is infectious.... Erasure has hit thebig time. CHR is now playing "Sometimes",reinforcing two years of solid airplay on theseairwaves. I can't begin to tell you how huge this bandis with us. We're staring at two sold out co -promotesat the Ritz in May.... In addition, my other favesinclude the new That Petrol Emotion import singleand the new Amazulu album.... Colourfield's"Running Away" is destined to be a classic. WithRoland of Tears For Fears on guitar, how can youmiss?
Ellen McKinnon, WEQX, S.VermontHot tunes of the week in my book include Scruffy
The Cat! This song Is just perfect -- what WEQX isall about. It has great guitars and positive lyrics.We're wild about it.... Although Rick Medlockslooks like he barely made it through last week, hesure makes it through "Saturday Night". This oldHerman Brood tune Is good for a few spins.... WEQXis happy to present Suzanne Vega in concert May1st, and we're even happy to be playing "Luka". Asan import, "Gypsy" made our Top Songs List for 1986from the listeners so I think it's safe to assume thatlisteners are waiting for "Solitude Standing" fromSuzanne as well as the show. Con-gratulations toJBZ of Arista on his move up. We're still waiting forCruzados and that new Patti Smith!Trisha Griffith, KBER, Salt Lake City
Phones are going crazy for "Still Of The Night" byWhitesnake. If you're afraid to play it, don't be--because it's one of the best things you can do now.It's taking off fast.... Europe's "Rock The Night" isalso creating a lot of phone activity. It's a surprisinglystrong follow-up record. This new song is creatingthe same excitement as the "Final Countdown" andthe whole album is solid. It took us a while, but it hadto go.... "Railroad Steel" from the GeorgiaSatellites is the song to play to get listeners up andoutta bed! Really gets 'em going.... I've never heardsuch wonderful lyrics like those in Rock andHyde's "Dirty Water".... Autograph's "Dance AllNight" will be stronger for us as a second track.We're seeing requests for the whole album!... JulianCope's "Trampolene" seems to be going over evenbetter here than "World Shut Your Mouth" with somephone response.... The Mission U.K. "Wasteland"has been a steady song for us. It goes out to adifferent part of our audience. We try to play a littlesomething for everyone and this one's working lustfine....

THE RADIO COMMENTSHARD REPORT
Tim Kelley, KWIC, BeaumontWell, I've done everything now. I sat down and
devoured seafood with a bunch of bright hoserscalled Brighton Rock. If a tonearm can have anorgasm "Wait Til Tonight" will do major damage....The Bowie Lp is primo as expected. The title trackand "Bang Bang" are rolling this week.... Still tops onthe phones, Whitesnake, Newcity Rockers andThe Cult.... My personal fave this week is theThrashing Doves "Beautiful Imbalance".... Andthank you, Blackfoot, for sending me to that Astrosgame on Saturday night.
David Hall, WKDF, NashvilleThe Bernie Taupin Lp is much stronger than you
might think. "Friend Of The Flag" got overwhelmingpositives on "Smash Or Trash", and that's a nighttimeforum where I wouldn't expect it to do well. It's notlike he's saving his best for Elton. This one is a topquality audience pleaser.... The depth of GreggAliman's comeback is about to be shown. "AnythingGoes" gets response just like "Angel".... Thanks toEric McDonald and Atlantic for a great seat on theGeneral Jackson. I always liked that song byHerman Brood, and it would be nice to see RickMedlocke make it popular again.
Tempie Lindsey, KZEW, DallasAs I cruised to the Improv saturday night listening
to Rick Medlocke wailing out "Saturday Night", I
thought to myself, "Bill Collins, this is really cool."Thanks to you and Rick, I had a memorable Saturdaynight.
Stacy Yelton, WKQQ, LexingtonBowie -- wow! The Lp is just exquisite! It really
is a return to rock and roll. I haven't been so excitedabout a song as I am about "Time Will Crawl" in quitesome time.... Ditto Tom Petty.... Being a big TomWaits fan, I was skeptical about Patty Smyth's"Downtown Train". But I'm a believer after one listen.It'll fly.... Finally found room for the Smithereensand Julian Cope. Welcome back to both acts.
Loris Lane, KFMX, LubbockThanks to Robert Fleet of Stryper for an
insightful phone interview and to Bart from Enigmafor setting it up.... Had the chance to see HuskerDu live last week and I was intrigued. My cat wantsto thank the Relativity people for the catnip and...Hi,Dale!
Fred Leemhuis, KGRQ, CasperSince Jerry Lachelt has left KGRQ, I'm OM/PD/MD
and garbage collector. So the best time for musiccalls is Monday through Friday, 2-4pm.... Even thoughI'm not a Tom Petty fan, the new album is verygood.
Steve Becker, WKFM, SyracuseLooking forward to the upcoming Bon
Jovi/Cinderella show. This has long been soldout,but we will be giving away free tickets and backstagepasses to our listeners. We'll be doing a bannercontest before the show, giving listeners a chance tomeet the group. Thanks to Pat from PolyGram for thepromotion.... From a local music standpoint, there aretwo groups who have recently released some newmaterial that you might find interesting for your ears.One is called Rockin' Bones featuring a femalelead singer with the style of Maria McKee.... Andanother group called Zoid who feature formermembers of a regional group, Alec Star. They're newsingle features great sax from Ernie Watts who'sdone session work with the Stones. If you'reinterested in hearing these groups, give me a call fora copy of the tape and single.
Doug Clifton, KBCO, BoulderWhen you talk about rock in the 80's, one of the
biggest influences of the decade is U2. A lot ofbands have tried to imitate them but none will evermatch their magic. After seeing the show in LosAngeles over the weekend, I'm that much moreconvinced that this is THE band of the 80's. Thanks toeveryone at Island for making our trip possible,especially Andy Allen and Pat Marsicano! It was agreat Easter holiday!... Meanwhile, back at the radioranch, new vinyl from David Bowie, Tom Petty,Suzanne Vega and Little Steven rode into town....David, Tom and Steven continue to spread theirreputations around the country as rock and roll rebelrousers. While sweet Suzanne melts even theroughest toughest outlaw into a pile of trail mud. Outof the whole gang, Suzanne has grabbed a spot in myheart, Tom is as solid as a rock, David is still kickingdust in my face, and Steven was last seen headinginto Indian country.... Some other rowdy characters towatch for riding through your town: the LongRyders, Doug And The Slugs, The Cure, Colin
James Hay, REM, Jon Astley and BernieTaupin. If they come riding into your town, just invitethem in for a drink. They'll provide plenty ofentertainment for the locals.... Thanks to those vinylrange riders who paid us their respects last week, theCalifornia kid (Del Williams), the Colorado kid (ToddCavanaugh) and the Italian stallion (Ray Gmeiner).Thanks to Jayne Nozik for the U2 shirt.
Deb Brady, WXXP, PittsburghThe new Cure is a smash. It leaves me hungry for
more.... A powerful song from Suzanne Vega,sounds like the hit that's due her.... Jon Astley's"Jane's Getting Serious" has sparked some seriousphones, along with T'Pau, Hoodoo Gurus, OingoBoingo and the Thrashing Doves.... The Lp forthe summer is Fleetwood Mac's "Tango In TheNight".

RADIO COMMENTSA big thank you to all those wonderful and
charitable people that made donations to oursuccessful auction for Cerebral Palsy. We have nodollar amount but you'll be informed. Once again,Thank You! Thank You! Ted and I would also like tothank Mary at Atlantic for our "Saturday Night" withthe Cardinals. Do we get beer money with that?....The new Suzanne Vega is hot. We had immediatephone response... Scruffy The Cat, what a hipband. Ted says next time send the female plant....Little America is a good rock and roll band. Theywill be coming to town in May, doing a $1.01 show forus. If "Walk On Fire" worked for you (or even if itdidn't) try "You Were Right".
Craig Marks, Homestead, 516-765-6200Ok, maybe the cover to the Big Dipper record is
way too brown, but that hasn't prevented good guyslike WBCN, WFNX, WRAS, KEYX, KABL, WHTG, andmore from discovering THE most infectious, smartand original pop record of 1987. See the video for"Faith Healer" on MTV's "120 Minutes".... Salem66's (also from Boston) newest Lp "Frequency AndUrgency" has found its way into the hearts and ontothe playlists of KTCL, KLPI, WDCR, WNYU, WTOS,WDST and others, and seems to be a near perfectbridge between the folk literacy of Suzanne Vega andthe rock charms of the Bangles. Expert productioncourtesy of Ethan James (Firehose, Minutemen)should make this a natural.... Other great records togush over: The Pastels' new Lp, The Rhino SoulCollections, and the latest Mekons' Lp onTwinTone.... Totally bummed out by: Meat Puppets'newest, the existence of the WashingtonSquares and the complete demise of the DelFuegos. Get a haircut Borkboy.
Duane Sherman, WTOS, SkowheganDavid Bowie returns triumphant. His new album
is already generating mucho requests. "GlassSpiders" seems to be our secondary track so far....Also getting great phone action are the HoodooGurus. "Party Machine" is what they're picking upon.... The Cure's "Why Can't I Be You" jumped outof the box and into Top 5 phones. We have supportedthis wonderfully brilliant band since day one and wewait for the new double Lp.... Suzanne Vega playedto an enthusiastic crowd in Portland, Maine, anddebuted her new single "Luke". She is one of the truejoys of alternative radio.... Little Steven has thestaff in awe of "Treaties". This record hits you with aleft-handed punch.... Relativity Records scores a
double this week. First, Scruffy The Cat. We hadgreat success last year with "High Octane Revival"and we're looking forward to topping that with "MyBaby".... How 'bout the long- awaited return of theDeadboys? Is it true that Cheetah Chrome will playKojak? I guess Martha Quinn did leave a little of Stivfor the rest of us.... Pick of the week: FatalFlowers. This album is a real grabber. Don'toverlook the cover of John Lennon's "Just GimmeSome Truth".
Jonathan Rosen, KEYX, Phoenix"The Strong Second Track Department". The
Other Ones "All The Love"; Vigil "White MagicSpell"; Smiths "Is It Really So Strange"; HoodooGurus "What's My Scene"; David Bowie "Time ToCrawl"; Hipsway "Ask The Lord"; Saints "How ToAvoid Disaster".... Programmers who "lost" afterplaying initial tracks might want to check some ofthese out.... Band Name Of The Week: HonoluluMountain Daffodils on Import.... Key Cut Of TheWeek: The Cure's "Why Can't I Be You".
ave nerson,ITy.. y, a!sonIt's not very often that I can't wait for a record to
arrive in my office, but that's the case with a song bya new artist named Richard Marx. The song is "IDon't Mean Nothin'", and with Joe Walsh on guitar,and background vocals from Timothy Schimdt andRandy Meisner this sounds like a lost track from"The Long Run". I think it will be a major rock radiosong this summer.... The new Bowie arrived lastweek and I was very pleased with it. I especiallyliked "Time Will Crawl" and "87 and Cry". For moreinformation, check out the Bowie interview in RollingStone.... I enjoyed visiting with Craig Lambert, thenational director of album promotion at A&M, thispast week.... Thanks to Louis Heidelmeyer of Elektrafor the backstage vist at the Georgia Satellitesconcert.... Programmers with good ears will pick upon a song called "My Caravan" on the HoodooGurus Lp. "Caravan" is a mesmerizing "Doors" liketrack.... Late breaking news flash!!! "Ripley's BelieveIt Or Not" announced this morning a forthcomingspecial edition devoted entirely to the MilwaukeeBrewers.Karen Small, WGIR, Manchester
If you happen to be in L.A. this weekend, stop byCarlos and Charlie's as our own Gretchen VonKrusscka and Jon Erdahl broadcast Live from L.A.That's right, Rock 101 is on the coast this week (atleast part of it).... I'm extremely satisfied with thelatest records from Bowie and Petty. Both theseLps show rock and roll at its finest. On the TomPetty record I particularly love "Damage You've Done"and "Think About Me". These two tracks are clearlysome of his finest.... I was glad to see that Bowie's"Never Let Me Down" was such a solid rock effortafter his two previous dance -tinged Lps. Myfavorites are "Time Will Crawl", "87 Cry" and "BangBang". These two tours will certainly be among thosenot to be missed.
