Being that this is ‘the last | column of the year and hopefully I have said all that needs to be said for this year, I will be brief. Again, I urge people to consider possible sources of financial aid before they actually need them. In ‘other words the earlier you begin your search, the more likely you are to be successful. Also, to all SENIORS, if you do have a stu- dent loan and are not returning to school in the fall, you may want to look into setting up a repay- ment schedule or obtain informa-

The state

By Glen Boswell

Remember the _ Showboat Lounge. That’s where I first saw Haywire. They had been together for about a year or so by that time. I was in heaven. There was hope for the Island music scene.

I remember how all the fledging guitarists would sit as close to the stage as they could so that they might stare at lead~ guitarist Marvin Burt’s hands as he blazed through Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption’’. The band was gusty and original. Their choice of cover tunes was tasty and fun. They had just the right mix of top forty and golden oldies. So what has gone wrong?

The Haywire I see of late does not impress me as did the Haywire of old. The first thing to disappear

was that Haywire edge. This wasn’t unintentional. Guitarist, keyboardist and

group spokesman. David Rachet has stated in numerous interviews that the band was trying to move towards a more danceable com- mercial sound. With the arrival of that sound much of the daring that was Haywire faded

It isn’t all gone. The band still has a

great sense of humour and an impressive state presence: The light show and sound system have become slightly more high tech but that doesn’t with the band’s One of the stron; Haywire do not t ike

“Haywire”

the whole show on the human side.

It is the music, however, that has suffered most as the band has aged. While the group has become progressively tighter, it has lost much of its punch. Nowhere ‘is this more evident than in Hay- wire’s originals. Earlier songs like “Jealousy” had a certain quality that is lacking in newer ones such as “Bad Boy’’. The newer songs are catchy but low on content. That may not be a mistake on the band’s part as the top forty has never been too favorable to songs with deep meaning. It seems that the public likes its music pre- digested and Haywire’s newest songs will doubtless keep people hopping on club dance floors.

All this, however, 1s a matter of perspective. Haywire is attempt- ing to break into the top forty market and to do that there must be an element of commerciality — that “danceable”’ sound — in the music. If the bandmembers want Haywire to be known as an AM band, then this is the path they must follow. It is a decision they must make. Once they make it, they have to follow it with everything they’re got if they want
