Punk Hits the Scene Rock Survives Changes Music seemed to go through some obvious changes. Among the changes were some of the new groups that sur- faced, like the Go-Gos, Quarterflash, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. These groups are known for their female vocalists and are examples of some of the groups that have been dubbed as punk. Many were seen punking out. This form of dress took on a variety of shapes such as headbands, metallics, army clothes or just about anything that was not quite the norm. Even though punk was very popular, rock-n-roll still lived on. The massive crowds that attended the concerts were a testimonial to this fact. Some of the biggest concerts of the year were Journey, the Rolling Stones, Foreigner, AC-DC and Rush. A rocker was characterized by his variety of concert T-shirts that he wore to school the day after the show to say, Hey, I was there! He was most often found listening to Q102 or the Zoo, and sometimes listening to KEGL ' s demented Dr. Demento. On the country front: Well . . . who really knows!?! And for all of you whose favorite music was not mentioned above — TAKE-OFF! Mike Love of the Beach Boys catches a wave of applause at the Tarrant County Convention Center March 18 with Surfin ' USA.
