H
ey John, how ya been? John. can you
hear me?" But John just keeps
tapping on the desk and singing Rock
the Casbah. Walkmans were hooked up to
everyones ears blasting at high levels. For
around $75 dollars you could go anywhere
with a cassette tape player and AM FM radio
even to class until they were banned from
school. Some invest a great deal of money
in stereo equipment for their home and car.
So along with that you need an awesome
album collection so there is always something
to play. Of course there's always the radio
with a majority of the listeners tuned into
Z-92. If you were a real "Z" fan you probably
would have shopped at the Z-92 Rock Shop
in Brandeis. They sold T -shirts, hats, stickers
and anything else that could be labled with
the "Z".
At concerts, much rock paraphernalia
could be bought. A tour magazine, T-shirts,
and buttons made some great souvenirs from
the show. The ticket stubs ~ere also saved;
some did cost up to $15 .
When cable companies came out to hook
up neighborhoods with cable Music T elevi-
sion made its scene at Millard North. It was
a creative way to listen to music in stereo
and also watch the artist in action. It also
gave people more variety of new music.
Much of this rock paraphernalia could be
seen just about anywhere if you just looked
for it in the right places: buttons on coats,
posters on lockers and even doodling on the
bathroom walls .

Eyes were glued to the television when cable was first
installed. Senior, Shay Yager watches Phil Collins on MTV
Music Television.
