type synthesizers and hypnotic beat.
UNL students trouped to Ames,
Iowa, on Feb. 2, 1981 to see Bruce
Springsteen bring down Hilton Coli
seum with his pumpcd-up stage an
tics. Although supported by the E
Street Band, Springsteen’s intense
performance almost made the con
cert a one-man show.
Besides musical changes, UNL
students witnessed changes in the
make-up of the downtown Lincoln
entertainment scene.
The debut of P.O. Pear’s added a
new source of entertainment to Lin
coln. Pear’s outrageous decor, food
specials and odd forms of entertain
ment, like banana-eating contests,
made it enticing to college students.
A chain of restaurants based on the
West Coast, Pear’s called its Lincoln
location a step toward eastward ex
pansion.
Although Lincoln’s downtown
greeted this new hangout, it said fare
well to what had been one of its
biggest retail attractions, Brandcis.
Even though downtown entertain
ment was expanding, the retail mar
ket declined as Brandcis closed.
Many downtown merchants were
concerned about declining sales be
cause Brandcis generated a lot of
business.

Also affecting the lives of UNL
students was the changing drinking
age. Increased from 19 to 20, many
students found their wait for drinking
freedom prolonged one more year if
they were bom after July 18, 1961.
And bar owners were concerned
about tricky 19-ycar-olds trying to
beat the grandfather clause.
This was another downtown con
cern, as Lincoln bars faced a possible
loss in business because of the new
drinking age.
The drinking.agc change gave the
local bar scene a new twist. Many
UNL students saw an anticipated
freedom one more year out of their
reach.
UNL. students were in the middle
of a shifting entertainment era. Con
cert-going was at a high point with
many top performers coming to the
area. With the addition of new-wave
culture, music fans saw their musical
tastes and opportunities broadened.
Punk influences would become more
evident as its popularity grew.
On the grand scale, the 1980-81
school year symbolized the shedding
of the last coal of* 70s influences. The
killing of John Lennon also killer! the
hopes of a Beatles reunification. Al
though their music would live on, the
Beatles era would not.

New Eurythmics album
show talent, concern
By Robert Richardson
Suff Reporter
Eurythmics
“We Two Are One”
Arista Records
The Eurythmics just have re
leased a new project, “We Two
Arc One.” Indigo Girls, beware.
This new acoustic sound is
good, and like all the other sounds
you can think of, Annie Lennox’s
voice sounds good behind just a
guitar.
Listening to all three songs
from the record company was re
laxing and a good change of pace
for the group. Not to be mislead
ing, on the real album there arc ten
songs.
Lennox has a great vocal range,
and with her very recognizable
I
voice il couldn’t be anyone else.
David Stewart sings with Len
nox on “Baby’s Gonna Cry’’ and
they both really bring out that “I
used to love her but I had to kill
her” attitude.
There is one point in the song
where the person who was watch
ing the levels fell asleep. That part
made both my woofer and tweeter
shake.
“Don’t Ask Me Why,” is a
Eurythmics remake with guitar.
The real heart and soul of the
album is on the song “When the
Day Goes Down.” Lennox uses
that talent you have to be bom
with, and you can hear the care and
concern in her voice.
Artists usually devote their rec
ords to someone or something they
care about.
And this is for the broken
dreamers, and this is for the vacant
souls. And this is for the hopeless
losers, and this is for the helpless
fools.”
