...Boys" is the title cut and stands as Roger Daltrey's parody (if not attack) on British punk rock. For those of us who know Daltrey, it is a familiar rag, only because it parleys Daltrey's working class consciousness. Daltrey once told a reporter he was happiest to be a rock musician because "it kept him out of the factories." Daltrey's self-styled punk star of the song "is a face in the mirror that may give you a fright," a narcissistic star who graces the cover of the album, "but he's alright," the song reassures...
After you're finished imbibing and have eaten your fill at the Ratty, Brown's dining hall named after a Boston punk rock emporium, you can go back to the stadium and watch a soccer game. No, this isn't a typo. The Harvard and Brown teams will meet under the lights...
OPULAR MUSIC serves as the timepiece of our decade, measuring attitudinal changes just as a watch compartmentalizes the day.

Orthopedic shoes...
...Such is the case with Lou Grant, the new CBS series (premiere: Sept. 20, 10 p.m. E.D.T.) that continues the adventures of Mary's boss at the Minneapolis TV station on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Lou Grant may not have Kojak's sexy bravado or the punk élan of TV's younger male heartthrobs, but he is someone TV viewers can actually recognize from experience: Lou is 50, overweight, smart, tired, compassionate, full of disappointments and yet sturdy enough to survive. In the never-never land of television, a man of such lifelike dimensions looks...
