Diversions Diversions Diversions New dimensions in music, movies and television began the new decade. The coming of punk and the dwindling of disco, along with the indestructible energy of rock ' n ' roll, and the ever- growing permissiveness in movies and T.V., the new decade produced a wide variety of entertainment. Music took a couple of turns during the 79-80 period. We moved from just Rock ' n ' Roll to Disco, Punk and New Wave. Led Zeppelin caused the shock of the year with their first album in two years. In Through the Out Door, and the rumors of a con- cert tour for the summer of 1980. Making a big hit was Super- tramp ' s Breakfast in America, which is still being served as it reached the one-year mark on the top-50 best selling list. Fleet- wood Mac surprised the public with Tusk after 2 years of absence. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers moved into the pub- lic eye with their album. Damn theTorpedos. Donna Summer was the first female singer to have, on two different occasions, a simultaneous No. 1 album and single. Everything the disco queen touched turned to gold. Her latest. On the Radio, hit the top of the charts. Rumors spread that one of the first disco groups. The Bee Gees, were splitting up. Punk and the New Wave spread fast. Blondie, who had songs in the top-40 and created the theme song of American Gigolo, rose up to become one of the most popular bands of America. Devo, B 52 ' s and Flying Lizards suddenly caught the attention of devoted Rock ' n ' Rollers. New Wave bands coming over from England and hitting it big included inmate and the Pretenders. The different types of music offered many choices for the music-lover. Many controversial movies hit the screen this year. Cruising caused a violent reaction. Homosexuals all over protested the day it came out. They opposed the way gays were portrayed Richard Gere caught the eye of women in the film American Gigolo, while Bo Derek captured the hearts of men in the movie 10 . Star Trek excited fans who had been watching reruns on T.V. for years. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda teamed up to star in Electric Horseman. The Rose introduced Bette Milder who portrayed a character similar to lanis Joplin. Kramer vs. Kramer was a tender story of a custody struggle between a devoted father and confused mother. Energetic George Burns joined Art Carney and Lee Strasberg to make the comical, tender movie Going in Style. Steve Martin starred in his first comedy role in The Jerk. The variety of films made choosing a movie a difficult task. ON T.V. offered films to those people who preferred their sofas to long ticket lines and uncomfortable seats. It offered many popular movies, which were in the theatres just months before, with no commercial interruptions and no editing. In what has become known as regular T.V., Shelley Hack replaced Kate Jackson on Charlie ' s Angels, and 60 Minutes was the top program in 79 according to the Nielsen Ratings. 184 Entertainment
