The Fears in Tears:

Tears for Fears Profile

‘You go through a stage around 16
zo 18 where you suddenly feel depres-
sec. It’s wrong to get over it. | think
‘ts best to pursue it,’’ says Roland

° by Richard Haines

 

Orzabal of the depressed duo Tears for
Fears. Neither of the two had eventful
adolescent years. Curt’s parents
separated when he was young and to
get attention he stole violins from
school. Roland who was also depres-
sed read Arthur Janov’s ‘primal
scream-.and recommended it to Curt.

After being in several failed bands,
they formed Tears for Fears and
released their first single (Suffer the
Children) in 1982. The following year
an album appeared called ‘The Hurt-
ing’ featuring re-worked versions of
Sutter the Children, Change and Mad
World. The record produced three top

10 hits and the record knocked :
‘Michael Jackson out of the number :
one spot in the UK. Curt and Roland:
claim that ‘The Hurting’ was a.clinical :
record to get ‘‘things off their:
chests’’. Q :

In Dec. of 1983 Virgin Music of UK. :
released ‘The Way You Are’ and it:
once again hit the top ten. In Aug. 84:
came the single ‘Mothers Talk’, :
another top 10 hit. In Oct. 84 Vertigo! ':
Mercury released a five-song EP here :
in Canada in a special package. It :
included ‘Mothers Talk’ 12’’ and 7” «
versions, and ‘The Way You Are’ in:
12” form. ;

Tears For Fears then released in :
Jan. 85 ‘Shout’ in the UK. This single:
charted here in Canada in March:
making TFF a hit on this side of the:
Atlantic. The second record ‘Songs :
From the Big Chair’ has established
TFF here in Canada.

- Carl Sandburg

(Theme and Image - An anthology of
poetry)

Picture, if you will, a sly, cool, sleek
cat prowling along a fence, tiptoeing
through a moonbeam. Imagine
orange, pink and blue cats talking in
rhyme and prose. Listen to what these
cats have to say: ‘’A dog is a dog, but
A CAT IS A CAT!” This is not the
twilight zone and it’s not Bill-the-Cat,
Felix or Garfield. These Cats are
Douglas College first year theatre
students performing in Cat-A-Lot.
Some of the cats to be met, each with
their own story to tell, are Growltiger
(Kevin Gardner), Mungo-jerrie (Annie
Marie Stricker), Rumpelteazer (lan

> A

Boothby) and Gus (Dean Benoit).
Viewing a cat’s life either makes:
one envious or sympathetic for the:
furry feline. In ‘‘Under the Table:
Manners’’, one of the 29 or so short:
vingettes, Caroline Heisler switches:
the audience into the sympathy mode:
by taking us from the table where:
people shove mass quantities of food:
into their bellies via the mouth, down, :
down, down to the floor onto the mat:
where cat is waiting for a morsel to:
fall. (My cats are not this well:
behaved). Not only do cats ‘‘sleep fat :
and walk thin’’ but my “‘hairball’’ is:
that fact that cats know ‘The Mean-:
ing of Zen’’ (Andrea Schober). On the :
back wall of the stage were project-:
ions of the moon, a garbage can and a:
fishbone. The set was simple with:
boxes and a ladder draped with:
pussycats. The whole cast slinking off :
the stage to the pink panther theme:
ended an entertaining show (especial- :
ly for cat lovers). Cat-A-Lot was done:
as part of the theatre students speech :

studies. by Kirstin :
