" NOW DON'T WORRVMR B0O... JO0 RELATED STRESS ISN'T ALU
THAT UNCOMMON IN TODAYS WORLD "
Letter From
the Editor
Jacksons' new video
Dear Readers,
A letter Tuesday chimed that
Daily Nebraskan entertainment
editors Ere biased against heavy
metal music. As a member of the
supposedly biased group, I am
tlwplyhurt.
I love heavy metal, especially
lead. It can't be penetrated by
nukes, you know. Other heavy
metals form foundations for big,
tail buildings and skyscrapers,
and bullets for guns. Why, tanks
used to be made from heavy
metals. My favorite TV show, be
fore MTV Friday Night Video
Fights came along, was Ironside."
One former entertainment edi
tor had this to say about the
charges levied against us.
"We did not have a bias against
heavy metal when I was enter
tainment editor,' said Mike "Chain
Saw" Frost. "We didn't have a bias
against any kind of metal blue,
yellow, heavy, light, they're all
precious in his sight. IVe always
had a problem with ferrous
metals, though, because when I
was a child I had a bad expe
rience on the ferrous wheeL"
But seriously, folks, I think
heavy metal has a place in our
society and is very useful. It
should not be mentioned in the
same sentence a3 music and its
place is not in sane human's ears,
but it is very useful
For instance, it can be used in
pet training. If Duffy persists in
doing doodoos on the carpet, play
her a little Iron Maiden. After a
few. such treatments, Eufiy will
net only desist her deviant defe
cation, shell probably be consti
pated for life.
Heavy metal training can also
be applied to children. Tell your
kids "If you don't eat your green
beans, youH grow a tongue like
Gene Simmons." One parent I
know of who tried that had to
erect a five foot fence around hi3
garden to keep hi3 legumes safe
from the children.
Actually, heavy metal fa no new
phenomenon.
A pyromaniac caveman with a
stick in either hand invented fire
while trying to serenade a cave
woman. Most heavy metal lyrics
are based on that caveman's cou
sin's attempts to invent language.
"I wanna buff it up, buff it up, buff
it up" portrays mating sentiments
just as sensitively as the cave
man's cousin did.
To all you head bangers and
bangees, I take off my hat. But 111
keep my earplugs.

The Jsdcso&s, Tci-ter3w:
Michael Jackson's highly
lauded Thriller" video may
have been creative, but this
concept piece totally eclipses
it because it is a special effects
tour de force;' It features such '
bizarre tidbits as an eye mate
rializing in a Jackson brother's
hand. The scene is a brilliant
blend of futurists'backgrounds,
lasers, monsters, phantasma
goric costumes and plenty of
consummate dancing. The fin
ished product is a video that's
no "Torture" to watch!

Vanity, "Pretty Mess":
Vanity, former lead singer of
Vanity 6, has vacated her group
and now has a solo LP out
She's a buxom sex kitten who
makes Vanessa Williams look
like a Boys Town reject And
she can sing too but her
vocals sound more lika the dia
logue to a porno flick than lyr
ics. In this video, for the LPs
I Srst single, she dons masses of
I scanty duds and looks as en
dearingly sleazy as possibte.
1 The song is about Vanity's pen
chant for a "pretty mess" all
jover her dress and this video
j captures that salacious mes
sage much too well
!e&0 VcM, A Girl la
iTrosMs li &
! This avant-garde band fea
tures the strange vocals cf out
rageously obese Deborah Iya!L
amazingly, this video actually
.makes her look good

, Yea Ga .
This British pop sensation is
huge in their native land, but
they'r e just getting recognition
on this side of the Atlantic
Ocean. This video was shot in a
concert hail and shows the
v: male lead, singer, sporting ear
rings and an oversized sweat
shirt with "Choose Life" screen
printed across the front A
clan of back-up vocalists, all
wearing the same shirt, camp
it up as the entire band per
forms just about every dance
from the jitterbug to the mon
key. To add to this visual vivac
ity, shots of dancers in glow-in-the-dark
attire are thrown in,
making this video pure fun.
- Dcrjaa Zzzzz&t, "Tlicre Gees
MyEsby":
Summer's latest video com
mences in a room occupied by
a young couple having a do
mestic altercation. This scene
is done in silhouettes, then
switches to a boarding dock in
the 1940s where Donna cries
as her hubby goes off to war.
The rest of the footage is merely
shots ofBonna in wartime duds
singing about a faraway lover
boy. It's not all that original
but Summer deserves credit
for straying from her glitzy
disco diva image.
Spaaiata Bsilst, Os?7r&ca
Ysa Iccraw: '
This video shouldVe been
called "For Girls Only." Why?
These guys are beautiful, but
this, video is not. Lead vocalist
Tony Hadley and his cronies
do nothing but croon and look
hunky. They may be good
looking and talented, but their
video's about as satisfying as
trying to have an intelligent
conversation with MTV vj Mar
tha Quinn!
