Elections,

Voting,
turn-out

opcoll@siwash.be.ca

All of the campaigning has, for the
record anyway, ceased and the poles at
David Lam are open as of Thursday,
October 24 . The last ballet is slated to
be cast towards the end of Wednesday,
Oct. 30 and results as to who will be

representing the students at David
Lam should soon follow.

As of Friday, Oct. 25 almost 10% of
the voting population at David Lam
has exercised their vote, shedding the
thick apathetic skin which has marred

the DC student body in the past.
Officials are hopeful that the
apparent increase in interest will help
push those numbers closer to 25% by
the time the poles close on Wednesday.

The Timeless One

Neil Young at General Motors Place

by I.B. Green

Oh Mr. Young you’re the teacher of
a lost generation. You’re the only man
with enough strength to battle on. You
old war torn veteran. Thank-you so
much for your hard work. Thankyou
for have the integrity to stand up for
what you believe in. Thank-you for
sticking around long enough to tell
me, the child of a hippie child, that
rock n’ roll will never die. My, my Mr.
Young you’re lessons run deep.

To what should have been a sold out
show, Canadian poet and the World’s
only certifiable rock God, Neil Young,
took to the stage at General Motors
Place on the October 22. Like Yoda
with a guitar, Young dazzled in his
timeless, grizzled old fashion before a
crowd that could be described as

nothing less than mesmerized.

Addressing the crowd only twice
Young made certain to mention that it
was great to be back in Canada,
Vancouver being the first date of his
coast to coast Canadian tour. Young,
probably the most seasoned and
hardest working man in rock n’ roll
today seems to have transcended all
borders however and certainly the
message he gave to his Canadian
audience was hardly different to the
one he gave to his American audience
when he toured through out the states
only weeks before. The major
difference being that all the Canadian
fans know where that place in North
Ontario is.

That a Man Young’s age can

 

perform as he did is a modern
miracle and proof that Molson
Canadian has secrets long
known by the few who have .
sipped from the fabled
fountain of youth.

It would have been a
pleasure to interview Young
for DC but MCA execs work
long hours and they are very
difficult to get a hold of. Next
time we hope?! Regardless the
performance was absolutely
amazing from set up to sound,
nobody could have asked for
or expected anything better.

HYPE

by S.P. Shawl

The fact that Hype only showed the
lower end picture of the major music
revolution that rocked the World at
large during early nineteen nineties,
made it a little hard to endure. That
coming from a movie that lasted only
87 minutes.

Certainly it’s great to see what was
happening on a small scale in the
Seattle music scene but the fact the
picture did nothing to reflect the epic
proportions of what felt throughout the
course of that industries boom, a
period which will forever ring through
the ears of aging rock fans. Age old
Nirvana material seemed to be the
pinnacle of the film but was hardly
enough to hold my attention or belief
in it’s claim.

This one will be lucky if it gets
picked up for video production.

For a good concert movie experi-
ence of pick up either the classic
Woodstock, or for something with a
90s feel The year the Punk broke.

Watch for I.B. Green’s review of
Tell the truth and run in the next issue.
