4A,, , .,,,,-L , 1. N5 IT'S THRILLER. Videos became technical as Michael Iackson's Thriller video set a new precedent for the medium. ZZ TOP. One of the hottest bands of the year in both music and video was ZZ Top. You may remember the videos of their hits Sharp Dressed Man and Legs . THE TI Entertainment was highly diver- sified in this eventful year of 1983- 84. This was the year that many got away from the front of their cable television and back to the movie theaters. For this we were treated to the final chapter of the Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Iedi . Other big movies this year were Flashdance and Foot- loose . Terms of Endearmentu won the Oscar for the best picture of the year, though. From the Flashdance look to the Michael Iackson look, people were thrilled to the sounds of the year. Headline concerts this year were Van Halen and Duran Duran. Not only did the hitmakers come to Cleveland, such as the Culture Club, but so did the Clash and oth- er less known bands. The thrilling performance of Michael Iackson's Thriller made him the superstar of the year and possibly of the whole decade. His album became the biggest selling al- bum of all time, selling over 30 million copies all over the world. Other popular albums this year were Born in the USA , by Bruce Springsteen, Eliminator by ZZ Tap, and 90125 by Yes. Television became more intelli- gent and controversial as well. It started to dwell into serious subject matter such as incest and nuclear holocaust. The Day After caused much protest when it was aired. Entertainment facilites were also in the news when Cleveland pro- posed to build a domed stadium downtown. ENTERTAINMENT 2
