The set, cleverly built on three tiers was designed by Dale Heslip, and portrayed a
mining scene, complete with chimneys that were useful when a fog scene was required.
Cameras were in place behind windows, which allowed for incredible camera shots of
performers, the most memorable being Rita MacNeil's performance of her anthem,
Working Man. She was joined on the set by The Voices Of The Deep, a Cape Breton
men's chorus, all decked out in miner's clothes, complete with glowing helmet lights.
It was a particularly touching scene as the miners filed out from backstage and from
the darkened auditorium. Also performing during the evening were
Tom Cochrane & Red Rider, the Jeff Healey Band, Glass Tiger, Colin James, and k.d.
lang & the Reclines. Another crowd stopper was the closing performance of The Weight, by Band members Robbie Robertson, Garth
Hudson and Rick Danko, who were backed by Blue Rodeo.
Much credit should go to producers Lyn Harvey and John Brunton and director Ron
Meraska, who strayed from the usual CBC-TV diet of variety non -essentials to a
simple, no-nonsense production that was too fast -paced to be boring and too exciting to be
trite. The production spotlighted real, touchable people presenting and accepting
awards, unpretentiously and nervously in front of their peers, which added to the
overall earthy attitude of the show. k.d. lang, who performed her award
- winning version of Crying, later, tearfully, acknowledged the influence the late Roy
Orbison had on her career. Jeff Healey, who was making a presentation with Colin James,
short-circuited what could have been a disastrous situation, when the envelope they
were presented with turned out to be the wrong one, and he recovered with good
humour and tact, finally reading the winner's name, specially prepared for him in braille. A pleasant surprise was Anne Murray,
who was a presenter, and who also sat in the audience, an excruciating experience for freshmen nominees, let alone a veteran star.
Ronnie Hawkins, the guiding hand in the creation of The Band, took front and
centre to introduce Band members, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson and Rick Danko,
Paparazzi -On -the -spot Marko Shark caught Colin James backstage at the Junos.
who were inducted into the Juno Hall Of Fame.
Pierre Juneau, the first Chairman of the Canadian Radio -Television Commission and
for whom the Juno Awards were named, was finally given the recognition he so rightly deserved. He was presented with the Juno Lifetime Achievement Award, and in his
acceptance speech, added a great deal of historical warmth to the proceedings.
Andre-Phillipe Gagnon, who emceed the CBC-TV extravaganza, was a little out of his element, to say the least, perhaps even a little
intimidated by the gaggle of stars surrounding him. He got back at his
predominantly English audience, however, with his closing remarks. -WG
National Radio Network to debut Blue Rodeo LP
Westwood One Canada will present the world premiere of Blue Rodeo's latest LP, Diamond Mine (March 21) over 35 radio stations in Canada, including K-97
Edmonton, CITI-FM Winnipeg, Q107 Toronto, CHOM-FM Montreal and Q104 Halifax. Gene Valaitis, News Director and Morning Zoo host at Toronto's Q107, will
host the 90 -minute session of interviews and acoustic performances plus the airing of Blue Rodeo's second LP for the Risque Disque
label. The program will air live on most stations at 10:30 pm eastern time. The program is timely in view of Blue Rodeo's winning three Junos this year
(Mar. 10), for Best Group, and Top Single and Video (Try). Michael Buckley directed the video.
Masse and CIRPA hold meeting in Toronto CIRPA's Board of Directors took advantage
of the Juno weekend to collar Marcel Masse, the Minister of Communications, for a
meeting on March 11. The hour-long huddle marked Masse's first meeting with the English -language recording industry since his
re -appointment as head of Communications Canada. The discussion apparently covered a
wide range of topics including, funding, taxation, copyright revision, Cancon
regulations and the new Broadcasting Act. As CIRPA President Alexander Mair pointed out, the meeting with Masse was
"a very positive re -acquaintance with a friend and supporter of Canadian talent,"
concluding with, "We are very encouraged with his (Masse's) comments and clear
understanding of the issues and problems
concerning the independent recording sector."

Well, what can I say ... ? What a night thatwas . . . the industry tribute to RPM's25th Anniversary. The presence of the starsand the kind remarks from the speakers werea pleasant surprise. I thought I was going tobe scorched, not just roasted, but they weretoo kind. The big surprise, of course, waswhen the Sunshine Coach was driven into theroom. It has all the bells and whistles,hydraulic lifts, air conditioning, and music.What a heart this industry has. (EC: Now,back to business . . . !)
The Junos were magnificent . . . ! Thisyear's Junos will be very difficult to beat,now that the producers have hit on a massaudience approach. I have never witnessedsuch an emotionally -charged production inall the eighteen years I've been watchingand/or taking part in this yearly event. Theset, the performances, the presenters, thewinners . . . and the audience. This show wastoo good to waste . . . on our home, spun -outcritics . . . and they were true to form. Nextyear, how about bringing in a couple of realprofessional critics, who could be guestcritics? (EC: Who would publish theircritique . . . ?) I only have one minor
" . . . . the prophets of doom, the messengers ofmediocrity, will be overwhelmed by the newgeneration of competent, creative, confidentartisans and by all those of preceding generationswho have already demonstrated their freshness ofmind, their talent and their capacity for inspiredleadership." - Pierre Juneau

complaint . . . and that has to do with the"gourmet" buffet. It was impossible to loadup a plate, balance a drink and shake handsat the same time . . . unless you were a well-known Toronto promoter. (EC: More!More! Let's here more . . . !)
Mirvish makes showbiz history! Never inthe history of Canadian show business hasthere been an event quite like the black tieopening of Les Miserables at Toronto'sRoyal Alex. With limos pulling up every fewseconds, Toronto's beautiful people (fromGino Empry's list), arrived at the opening ofthe much heralded theatre production. Theperformance was superb, but there's alwaysthe possibility that a Toronto theatre criticmay have sat through the whole thing lookingfor a fault to write about (EC: The dailiesshould have brought in a guest critic!) but theaudience of experienced theatregoers lovedevery minute. Once a show gains a reputationlike this, no critique can, or will, make a dentin the box office, which should be open forthis one for the next two or three years. I betthe Mirvishes are looking for somewhere tobuild a new theatre because the Alex will beoccupied for quite a little while. After theshow, it was time for a gala at Toronto'shistoric Fort York Armouries where therewas wall to wall champagne and gourmetfood. First an orchestra played live and latera deejay took over. I was lucky enough to be
sitting beside my dear friend Donald Tarlton(DKD), who is always informed about thetheatre around the world. Also at the tablewere Bill Ballard, of CPI, and his wife andCatherine O'Hara, of SCTV, and her brotherMarcus. Garth Drabinsky will have to go along way to top this opening, and, so far,there has been very little other than billboardsand newspaper advertising. The Mirvisheswere way ahead with their public relations,months back. Toronto will have to see ifDrabinsky can pull a rabbit out of his hat,and catch up. (EC: Which is hard to do intheatre!)
The Irish Rovers are back . . . It was likedeja vu, when Attic/A&M threw a party atThe Unicorn in Toronto to launch the newLP from the Irish Rovers. I don't know howmany years ago, but I was there when theIrish Rovers unveiled their first Unicorn pub,on Eglinton Avenue, the only successfuloperation. There were two others, one indowntown Toronto and the other inRichmond Hill . . . and both went bust. TomWilliams is managing the one in RichmondHill, under another name, of course, the pubthat is! (EC: I remember Puff The MagicDragon and often wondered if "puff" had aderogatory meaning . . . !)
A weekend to remember!March 13, 1989Dear Walter:Although it's been some time since my nameand views have found their way onto thepages of RPM, permit me this moment whilethe events of the Juno weekend are still freshin my emotions and mind.
The splendid tribute to you and the well -organized celebration of 25 years of RPM'sexistence was, in my opinion, a remarkableexpression of the recording industry's comingof age in Canada. Putting aside for a momentthe important and much needed significantcontribution to Variety Club and the Kids, itsignalled a willingness to recognize you as the"conscience of the industry" (some may saythe cattle -prod) and to respect the importanceof self-examination and possible renewal ofpurpose. Surely that is a clear sign ofmaturity and confidence. Having been veryactive in the recording industry, aside frommy executive responsiblities, I can observethis change, through the tribute to you andRPM, with excitement and hope for anindustry I continue to identify with.
Adding the much deserved recognitionof Sam Sniderman and Pierre Juneau duringthe Juno Awards show to you, providedanother surge of confidence for a newgeneration of leadership and willingness tobecome involved in working for thebetterment of Canadian music and a trueindustry. It showed that paying your dues,succeeding, but giving back to this industrythat can often by perceived as self-serving,leads to an awareness of excellence that doesnot go unrecognized. Let's hope also that the
politicians who profess a keenness to help therecording industry grow Canadian at alllevels see in these tributes and the magic ofthe Junos a vital expression in words andmusic in Canada that must be better assistedwith more support mechanisms in place.
And the Juno Award Show! What anemotional high for the many of us who havetoiled with and without recognition for itsacceptance within and outside the industry,let alone around the world. It was the bestever in all respects and will set a benchmarkto challenge the future artists, organizers andproducers of it in the years ahead. I sincerelyhope also that it will help CARAS membersand directors to know that the association iscapable of going beyond the Junos intofulfilling its mandate of purpose in makingthe Canadian recording industry a betterplace to be for those who populate it.

Easterhouse taking up the On one hand, the more things change the
more they stay the same and, on the other hand, as Heraclitus once said, "there is

change, a changing of the guard, especially in England. The cutthroat British music scene
has a stranglehold on its competing musicians these days, following the virtual demise of the

Ireland. Contenders was just as political, but more worldly in its aspirations. However, with notable exceptions, no one took much
notice of their collective effort. If one more kick at the musical can was to be allowed, then compromise was the word of the day.
Hence, only Perry remains to take the crusade to the next level and compromise is merely a tactic, he adds.
"There's only one reality in all of this and that's the reality of making money.
That's the truth, the realization of the facts," Perry continues. "To be successful in
America, Easterhouse has to delve into American issues. We have to express a common theme and speak a common
language. It's no good saying you're going to do something and then not achieve it. How
long can a band go on like that? On the idea level, the album didn't reach the people it was
supposed to reach; it reached the standard indie circle of people, who tend to be more
aware anyway." Rather surprisingly then, Waiting For
The Redbird, though no less political in nature and yet sounding more mainstream
than its predecessors, is taking AOR by storm. Indeed, Easterhouse may have lost a battle, but Perry certainly hopes to win the
war. Success now seems possible through commercial channels, whereas that likelihood
simply did not exist for the band immediately following the release of Contenders. Not many new groups from
England are willing to step out on the limb

and face the prospect of being "banned" or even being labelled alternative.
"The prevalent rise of the right wing over the last couple of years, the regression back to Victorian values and traditional
ideals, I see as a conflict . . .
as a battle between regressive forces and progressive forces," Perry informs. "We are an
expression of change, a reflection of the reality. We are not going to make the change,
but we are going to be part of it. Only in theory is a banning good for a band."
The ongoing struggle in Northern Ireland is a common thread that unites most British underground groups. Yet it is the very policy of banning that is forcing eyes to look
elsewhere, well beyond their own borders, to find issues equally as emotive. So, El
Salvador has become a hot topic, as has Papa Doc and Pinochet. Perry knows these
problems exist and therein lies the common theme, the common language, that
he would like to see addressed with greater enthusiasm in the near future.
"I see the music industry as an area where a conflict of ideas can take place and
the media is really the arena. TV is an arena .
. . radio is an arena
. . . and music is an arena.
I went into the studio with the idea of becoming larger," he concludes, "of taking it
to a new level. This is simply tactics. With Contenders, the commercial reality wasn't
there. And if the commercial reality isn't there, then you're just blowing in the wind.
But nothing is impossible . . .
or if anything is impossible, then you might as well go home
to bed and forget it. But it can be done and it will be done. I truly believe that. This is just the beginning."
Congratulations Walt and RPM

Grealis/RPM tribute raises $55,000 for Varietyby Dale Kotyk
On March 10th, the Canadian music industrycelebrated an historic event, the 25thanniversary of RPM Magazine. To behistorically correct, the anniversary date wasactually February 24th, the date of the firstissue of RPM. However, because there hadbeen so much interest in the tribute fromacross Canada, it was decided to put togethera banquet and gala during the Juno weekend.Ironically, the weekend turned out to beanother Three Days In March, the event thatRPM had become famous for back in thedays of the early Junos.
"This wasn't something that was

With Carroll Biker and J.K. Gulley
Lloyd and Larry Mercey with Walt
thought of on the spur of the moment,"explained Walt Grealis, surrounded by over400 well-wishers at the pre -tribute cocktailparty, continuing with, "It was 25 years inthe making!"
In a room, packed with the powerbrokers of the music industry, Grealis movedwith ease from one person to another,hugging and embracing old friends, chattingabout the past 25 years. This was an eventwhere obviously, everyone who attended,wanted to be there, unlike some, where atten-dance was politically motivated. "It was aneasy event to promote," said Stan Kulin,WEA Canada President, and a member ofthe committee. "Everyone I talked to wasanxious to attend and contribute."
Apparently CARAS had planned a Stanand Walt (Stan Klees and Walt Grealis,co-founders of the Juno Awards) roast forlast November, but when Klees heard aboutit, he flatly refused the honour, because itwas too close to the 25th Anniversary date.
Neill Dixon assembled a group to form acommittee in September, to arrange a basicoutline of what the RPM tribute wouldentail. At that first meeting, it was made clearthat Grealis had agreed to participate undercertain terms and conditions: that there be nogifts or presentations made to him; that everygesture be channelled toward the Variety clubin an attempt to buy a Sunshine Coach forVariety in his name. The object was toraise as close to $22,000 as possible for such acoach. Grealis wanted the event to be keptmodest, simple and dignified and held at theInn on the Park where so much of RPM'shistory evolved, even memorable touches likethe chicken that was served that night, adelicious standby of early RPM events.
Letters were mailed out asking theindustry to donate as Platinum, Gold andSilver Patrons at $5,000, $3,000 and $1,000respectively, and in no time, pledges hadreached just short of $50,000, assuring thecommittee that not only would a coach bepossible, but one that was veryelaborate, with hydraulics for wheelchairsand other equipment necessary to transportVariety's Kids.
The plan was to have six speakers whodated back to the Cancon struggle, and sixrecording stars who would introduce thespeakers. "It was easy," said Dixon,"Everywhere we turned, there were peopleanxious to cooperate and be part of it. It wasa breeze."
Stan Klees was put in charge of the"ambience" and laid down certainrequirements: host bar (wine, beer and liquorat no charge), French wine at the tables, hostcheckroom. There were no room or tabledecorations, which would cut down on theamount of money that would go to Variety.
When the March 10th date rolledaround, the details were in place andCARAS, Variety and the committee stagedan historic evening that had all the panacheof the early RPM events.
Gathered in the room were the pioneersof the industry and representatives fromevery aspect of the entertainment business(record, broadcast and theatre VIPs) fromCanada and the United States. A respectful

east/west dialogue. The highpoint of theevening came when a large section of theballroom's wall rolled away and apiper marched in followed by the $50,000Sunshine Coach, which was bought in thename of Walt Grealis by the patrons. It wasan emotionally -charged moment whenGrealis accepted the keys to the coach fromSteinmetz. He was obviously overcome by theentrance of the coach and the warm feelinggenerated by the audience. He graduallyrecovered and, after paying tribute to theindustry for making the much -needed coachavailable to Variety's Kids, turned the keysover to Variety, which added to the enormouslegacy that RPM and Walt Grealis leavebehind in the music industry.
As one of Grealis' admirers put it, "Justthe fact that Walt Grealis has left a 25 yearhistory of the industry in the pages of RPM is
enough, the rest would make him probablyone of the biggest contributors to Canadianmusic. Has anyone done more?"

- 980 CKGM was replaced Feb. 10/89 by 980 HITS, Canada's newest Top 40 radio station, which promises more
music than any other Montreal station without playing heavy metal or hard rock.
PD Susan Davis says, "The radio climate in Montreal over
years; older audiences have been superserved while Montreal's younger audiences have been primarily ignored and now 980 HITS
addresses this problem." Joining the station for the morning drive is Gary James, who
was the leading morning personality for 18-34 year old females at CITI-FM Winnipeg.

FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS - PopThe Raw & The CookedIRS IRS -6273-JOff to a terrific start due to the greatsuccess of She Drives Me Crazy, thisalbum is full of strong songs, althoughnone is as memorable as the firstsingle. Their sound hasn't changedmuch since their last outing, so fans,always disturbed when a band's styleevolves, should have nothing to com-plain about. Even the trademark mutedtrumpet featured on past hit JohnnyCome Home reappears on Don't Let ItGet You Down. Key tracks to watch forare techno-soul ballad, I'm Not TheMan I Used To Be, and catchy poptunes, It's OK (It's Alright) and EverFallen in Love (written by Pete Shelleyand produced by Jerry Harrison).

Fromstart to finish, this LP is full of AndyPartridge's Idiosyncratic songs, true tothe form XTC has established over thepast decade. Unfortunately, this solid,record breaks no new ground whichmight elevate them from the presentlysecure cult status. CM

The Ballad Julie (IfYou Leave Me) is a beautiful dedica-tion to Julie Tullis, a British climberwho lost her life there in August of1986. The album was recorded inLondon, England in the summer of '88.Is the album itself a triumph? Mostdefinitely. Will it sell in large numbers?Not likely, and that in itself is atragedy. BW

Unfortunately, not much can besaid of either the lyrical or the musicalvalue of the package that could raisethe level of consciousness among itsintended audience.

S. mounts campaign against Daigle
The Awareness to Save our Heritage (A.S.H.E.S.) organization is mounting a
campaign against the proposed induction into the Ottawa Valley Hall of Fame of Ted
Daigle, CKBY-FM Ottawa programmer. The leaflet campaign, distributed by The Canada Free Press Park Bench Music, points
out that Daigle "led the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB)
campaign in 1987 against the CRTC to reduce the broadcasting of Canadian country music
across Canada by 50 percent." The leaflet continues with, "We, the
friends of Can -Con Country Music believe it's unethical and certainly will hurt the
Canadian artistic country music institution." The goals of A.S.H.E.S., as pointed out
on the leaflet, are "To lobby government to get sixty percent Canadian content on all
radio stations across the Dominion of Canada (and we have it), and to lobby the
government for a twenty-four hour Canadian content on July 1, Canada's birthday."
Those interested in contacting A.S.H.E.S. should write to Box 7045, Vanier
Postal Station, Ottawa, Ont. K1L 8E2.
WEA acts spotlighted on CTV's New Faces
WEA Music of Canada will be front and centre for the next installment of CTV's New Faces which airs Easter Sunday (Mar. 26)
at 7 pm E.S.T. The show will feature performances by
three WEA recording acts, George Fox, One To One and Michelle Wright. David Foster,
who also records for WEA (Atlantic), will host.
Jacobson and Kirouac to produce Skydome Gala
Producer/Director Stan Jacobson and Artistic Director Roland Kirouac, the same
team that created the highly -acclaimed first 12 minutes of the opening ceremonies for the
Calgary Winter Olympics and the Royal Winter Fair's Royal 60th Extravaganza, will
be producing the official opening Gala of Toronto's Skydome. Paddy Sampson will be Executive Producer for the June 3rd event to
be televised across Canada and possibly worldwide.
Jacobson and Kirouac were given the responsibility for the Gala based on the
success of their Rocky Mountain Salute to the Winter Olympics, viewed by up to 3 billion people worldwide. They took on the project
with less than six months notice and, from scratch, created a team of over 2,000
performers. As Gino Empry (Public Relations &
Personal Management Services) reports, up to two hours is being planned for the show,
which could involve from 5,000 to 8,000 performers, including many big name stars.
Says Jacobson, "Both Roland and I thought that doing the opening of the Olympic Games in Calgary was going to be
the highlight of our careers . . .
but the opening celebration of the Skydome will be
the cherry on top of the cake!"
