22 Q BE JOR One usic, music, music!!! It seemed that everybody’s life had some kind of music in it. Rock, heavy metal, soul, new wave, punk, pop... there were so many different tastes in music. But that didn’t matter. Music was a release for problems, and a way to relax. New groups were popping up all over the place. A-ha, Mr. Mister, Five Star, OMD, and Atlantic Starr were just a few. The songs took on a competition that was unbelievable. Vid- eos and MTV took a big part in this game. Every group had to have a video released with his new single or it wouldn’t be heard!! All in all, the world of music can’t be described in words. It has become advanced with technology, and the content . .. better with years. Let’s hope there is more in the future as good as 1985-86. A JAMMING on Miami Vice, Don Johnson and the “Power Station,” sing one last song. BREAKING off from the “Police,” Sting was a hit with his first solo album. COMING back with a number one album, Heart was a winner on the scene this year. STAYING on the top is familiar to Stevie Wonder, from WE ARE THE WORLD to DIONNE FRIENDS, he was recognized. SINGING “State of Shock,” at LIVE AID, Mick Jagger and Tina Turner entertain the enormous crowd. STUDENT LIFE HUNTING high and low ... A-ha became one of the best new artists of the year. MARRYING his sweetheart, Julie, Bruce Spring- steen broke a lot of hearts.
