Music' is the latest
'Cool
by United Press International
New Wave, move over. It's
Time for "Cool Music."
Cool music is the latest entry
in a proliferation of experimen
tal styles vying for the public ear
and entertainment dollar on the
radio and jukebox scene.
Morris Day, lead singer of
"The Time," one of the newest
of the New Wave, Punk-Funk,
high-energy rock groups, says
the key to cool is "a positive atti
tude about yourself coming
across well in dress and atti
tude."
The attitude of "cool music"
is to just be yourself, he says.
"Go-to-school, don't be no fool,
respect your fellow man and his
lifestyle. In other words, to do
your own thing."
It applies even to dancing, he
says. "There are a lot of freestyl-
ers out on the dance floor now
who don't follow the crowd or
the latest dance trends like 'the
Pong' from New Wave.
This also means a wide range
in how advocates dress, he says.
Men can wear "threepiece suits,
or fly-collar tuxedo shirts with
black tie, black pants and two-
tone shoes. Or just jeans and t's.
For the women, it's long even
ing dresses and-or baggies."
The latter are arab-style pants
that "bag" at the bottom of the
leg.
"Cool" or the New Message
Music, if you will, mixes basic
rhythym and blues — a style
made popular by the Tempta
tions, Four Tops, Diana Ross
and the Supremes and Spinners
in the 1960's — with pop, rock,
and rap. Rap refers to mono
logues describing ghetto or
street life. The result. Day says,
is an exciting concoction of '50s
dance-beat music, '60s Funk,
70s sophistication and '80s re
serve.
Other groups that have tried
the new "cool music" have in
cluded Blondie, blues singer
Millie Jackson, Teddy Pendeg-
rass, and a group of youngsters
called "Grand Master Flash and
the Furious Five."
Their hit record, "The Mes
sage," told of the ups and
downs of ghetto life — "broken
glass everywhere, people mes
sing up the stairs, they just don't
care" — as well as doing time in
prison.
The music has been criticized
by social self-help groups like
Operation PUSH, for People
United To Serve Humanity.
They contend it may lead teena
gers into promiscuity and
drugs, with lyrics like "do you,
do you, do you, do you love me
Mary Jane," a slang word for
marijuana. This is from Rick
James' single Mary Jane. But
adherants to cool contend that
it's just fun music and shouldn't
be taken seriously.
Rock music was also criticized
as "the devil's music" three de
cades ago. Elvis Presley, appear
ing on the Ed Sullivan show,
was shown only from the waist
up.
But like Rock n' Roll, says
Day, "cool music is here to
stay."
Day's group, "The Time,"
formed only two years ago, has
already reached star status with
cool.
Their second album, "What
Time Is It", has "gone gold" in
less than six months after re
lease. They have two singles,
"777-9311"' and "The Walk",
high on the charts. Their current
tour, with another rock star.
Prince, has been a sellout.
"The Time" are from Min
neapolis and were discovered
by Prince, who prefers to be
known only by that name.
Tinker to stay 'the course'
by United Press International
President Reagan isn't the
only one determined to "stay
the course." NBC's Grant
Tinker appears equally firm
on the subject despite some of
the most abysmal Nielsen rat
ings in the history of the trou-
blechnetwork.
Tinker has given the nod to
a new long-term contract for
entertainment President
Brandon Tartikoff whose cur
rent pact expires early next
year.
The move followed renew
al of NBC's entire prime-time
line-up which, though critic
ally acclaimed, has lain mor
dant at the bottom of the rat
ings heap all season.
In announcing Tartikoff
will continue with the
Peacock network, Tinker said,
"We still have a considerable
programming job to do."
