Those numbers are giving metal bands the kind of clout once reserved for pop's biggest stars. In August Columbia Records signed Aerosmith, a hard-rock band with metal overtones, to a $30 million-plus contract. Motley Crue's deal is even sweeter. Elektra Records will pay the Crue at least $35 million, including a $22.5 million advance, for its next five albums. Meanwhile, A&M Records expects big things from Soundgarden, a Seattle-based band that packs the sonic punch of early Led Zeppelin...
...audience. D.L.C. stalwarts like Bentsen, Al Gore and Robb have tin ears. Nunn's libretto -- defense and national-security policy -- seems increasingly irrelevant for a world rushing toward peace. The current season's high-decibel speaker, House majority leader Richard Gephardt, seems too opportunistic as he screeches out a hard-rock message of economic nationalism and a Free Enterprise Corps while bashing Bush for timidity. Bill Bradley is the party's rap star, tapping out his proposals for Third World debt, tax-code overhaul and international monetary reform in monotone...
...back again, for good, in the mid-'70s, after giving himself up to dissipation and one last, long bout with the hard-rock life. The book concludes with a sermon compiled from various of Richard's exhortations: "[God] made Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve." And: "Take that Bible out of your trunk, and get up from those soap operas! Stop trying to watch Search for Tomorrow and search your Bible." Richard may not be making rock 'n' roll any more, but it's obvious the fire has not burned...
Walsh has accompanied athletes to drug rehabilitation centers. It is an unusual, or maybe an unfeeling, coach who has not. "But I don't know whether the sensitive coach is any improvement over the old hard-rock guy who would line up all the cocaine users and shoot them," says Walsh. "Neither one seems to do much good." Most of the coaches know little about cocaine. But they understand it has an effect on sleep and nutrition, and at practice they can guess which players have been up all night. "I can pick them out," Walsh says...
...father in his Kremlin mausoleum. After two decades of sparring with the Soviet authorities, hard rock had triumphantly taken the Lenin stage. The occasion was the premiere of the country's first rock opera, Juno and Avos, by Alexei Rybnikov, a popular composer of movie scores. In addition to guitars, violins, cellos, drum and a chorus of 16, Rybnikov called for electronic instruments-including a Multimoog synthesizer and a Roland paraphonic-rarely used before in the U.S.S.R. The opera was a bold blend of hard-rock rhythms, shimmering folk melodies and traditional Russian Orthodox Church chants...
