SURREY (CP) — When Robbie Bachman recounts his part in the rise and-fall of the rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive, his story isn’t unlike a television mini-series with all the trimmi:

and even an action-packed accident in a customized go-cart.

Bachman, now,80, was in his late teens when he was the drummer of the fledging Winnipeg band. He first tapped stick to skin on drums belonging to Gary Petersen of The Guess Who. Canada’s first band to score big south of the border also included Bachman's older brother, Randy.

“I remember Gary saying, ‘Hey, this kid can play drums,’ ” recalls the younger Bachman, interviewed in his large tudor-style mansion here. Rr ar

After Guess Who disbanded in 1970, Randy recruited then pimply-faced 18-year-old Robbie Bachman, an undis- tinguished guitarist named Fred Turner, and -formed ‘a; straight-ahead rock and roll band called Brave Belt. After a slow start the group moved to Vancouver, changed its name |

to Bachman-Turner Overdrive and scored its first big hit, “| Let it Ride in 1973. “yr

BAND PEAKED In its three peak years (1974-76) BTO recorded a string - of hits, won a jumble of Junos and established itself as a first-class concert act. 1 i

BTO's Graeme Wayniark, who the band on several tours, says Robbie Bachman was treated |

badly by other members of the group. He was always being |

put down and always referred to as “the kid.” -

Waymark says Bachman might have been the most creative of all the members, but he was constantly frus- trated.

But that’s not exactly how Bachman sees it.

“T'll go and watch a film we made of one of our tours,” Bachman says, “and it seems to me it was nothing but fun:”

Fun in a lot of ways, because according to Waymark, Bachman was like a kid in a candy store.

‘Waymark says Bachman once ordered a Sherman tank from a war surplus distributor, but Waymark nixed the deal. Fellow BTO member Blair ‘Thornton remembers how

“But he soon found out there were by-laws about shooting guns other than shotguns,” Thornton says. “And that put an end to that. Later he built a barn and had a shooting gallery in there.”

TORONTO (CP) — CTV- network, with a prime time. that is “a ghetto of American violence,” has the most vi- olent programming of 30 television networks around the world, says a report to be presented to the United Na- tions.

CTV president Murray Chercover said the list of shows represented only one station selection, not the net- work programming, and some of the shows listed were not distributed by the CTV network.

‘The channel ‘mouitored, CFTO in Toronto, was rank- ed more violent than U.S. networks because “they are pulling in the worst of the violence of different network offerings,” said Toronto psy- chologist David Scott, an ad- viser to the coalition on TV violence.
