THE KNACK:
Get The Knack

Got The Knack, Knuke
The Knack, Knock The
Knack.

i For those of you who are
ante with The Knack,
ibly because you haven't
it tened toa radio for the last
fqw months, or you've been
living in a cave, The Knack is
the latest in the new wave
rock army that has been as-
sulting the market for the
last few years,

Get The Knack is the
title of their first album,
which illustrates they are not
your typical new wave band.
The photo on the back of the
album jacket is such an
obvious takeoff on the early
Beatles that it might turn off

for an audience offensive,
considering the success of the
ploy which has been capital-
ized on from The Stones to
the Sex Pistols. True, The
Knack does build their music
around the style created by
the Beatles, but they emulate
other early English bands
including The Hollies, and do
an absolute tongue-in-cheek
Buddy Holly number, Heart-
beat, in which the only short-
coming is the Holly-like arti-
culations.

The music on the album
is a definite throwback to the
beginnings of the British
invasion, — sharp driving

Well, it’s another summer shot |

Man, it’s good to get back to
work after a long, hot, wet,
cold, dry summer.

There's

many a buyer
who isn't interested in hear-
ing a feeble copy of an un-
copiable original. The stage
setup, the'clothes, and the
resemblance of leader Doug
Fieger to John Lennon's
familiar bow-legged stance at
the microphone is little short
of outlandish hype.

Knuke The Knack is an
attempt by San Franciscan
artist, Hugh Brown, to cap-
italize on the promo hype,
and make a few bucks off
the Los Angeles band that
has begun to reach inter-
national prominence. Brown
created and distributes
Knuke The Knack T-shirts,
which he claims is a personal
protest of the band’s simu-
lation of the Beatles, and The
Knack's seemingly contemp-
tuous attitude to its audi-
ences when it performs.

It seems a little odd

an affair, grow a beard and

bass, shoot a par round in

And this summer, as so
often, I accomplished abso--
lutely zilch.

I barely got my weekly col-
umn written. I travelled no
more than 120 miles from
shome. I re-visited nothing ex-,
cept the town library. The
only affair I’ve had was with
a big cedar chair in my back
yard. I’m clean-shaven and
short-haired. 1 caught one
nine-inch bass, I did shoot a
par in golf. On one hole.

I'll have to admit what my
wife suggested every second
day all summer, “You're a
lazy bum."*

One other memorable
meal was a stew I made. The
usual stuff — onions, car-
rots, meat, a couple of spuds,
It tasted a little flat, so hit
the spice cupboard and
chucked in a few shots of
everything but mustard, then

The support of the as-

regional importance of
Whitewater Ski Area and its
growing significance in the

Denny Edgar, the as-

support is valid because of
the role Whitewater plays in
overall amateur sport fitness
programs regionally, and as
one of the region's major ski
areas, along with Red Moun-

from the Prairies and United

Regarding the tourism
