Conoerts, MTV, and Michael roorc 198 ive years ago, radio listeners often would not know what their favorite groups and singers looked like. Concerts were the only way to see some of those superstars who shunned variety television shows, and the like. Now, of course, there is Music Television, and it has changed the teenagers' land the non-teens'Q entire lifestyle. Today, people of all ages are becoming more aware of what is going on in the rock industry, and the rock culture. Compact, and portable stereos have helped to change that awareness in music. Mini, Walkman-type radios and jam boxes allow us to carry music anywhere. New products in video players and recorders have allowed musicians the opportunity to make video albums . The increase in the sale of cassette tapes indicates that people are taking their music with them, wherever they go - and that music is an important part of their life. Rock concerts are increasingly becoming a teenage getaway. Fans save their money and listen closely to the radio for the announcement that their favorite group will be in Kansas City soon. A new amphitheatre, Sandstone, promises even more concerts for the K.C. area. The average cost of a concert ticket to a major act is near 51300, which possibly shows that rock fans are willing to pay the price for their music. MUSIC TELEVISIQN What is the word of thegyearrsinrock music? If it isn't Michael jackson, it has fro, be',MTV. Music televisiofnfrriade its debut in tl'reg'sipring of 1982, and insteadlioif gettingiflost infthe crowd of cable channels, it 6IfifgIigC'd..27L8S of the biggest of them survey administered by faof the Northtown studentbody 'MTV' 1 and only less than IZ polled, did notgflike it. ' But MTV is more thaniisome longtfhaired musicians pretendingsto play their instruments to the sound of their music, MTV is a powerful medium which has a major effect on the rock industry. After four bad years and slumping record sales, charts were suddenlylpopping with mega'sellers, said The Kansas City Star. Some people in the rock industry believe that MTV is a necessary part of marketing a group or song, and that without it - well, good luck, To the viewer, MTV is not a station. lt is a comfy little place in New York where five V.j.'s CMark Goodman, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn, J. j. Jackson, and Nina Blackwoodj take you to 6 places youlve never been, with people youlve never seen - all through the magic of video music. As Rolling Stone magazine put it: The visions are driven by rock music Together they create a world of their own, where the shocking image is the norm, where no laws are enforced, where no taboos remain ... But put aside all of the business and social significance of MTV, and what is it that people like? When the commercials begin - there is always Music Television to turn to. 1 ff, W ,W ylflirmwf iw UJBQIB ,, 1 3 ,M in 3: if .ffm , rf I f
