www.americanradiohistory.com TEARS FOR FEARS: BIG HITS FROM THE BIG CHAIR By Peter Standish

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith " 'Shout' (is about) making your opinions known. One thing that disturbed and frightened an awful lot of people last year was the installment of American nuclear weapons in England"

In 1983 Tears for Fears released their first PS: How did you and Curt Smith get in direction? That's quite a departure from album The Hurting."

THE NO- MADONNA WEEKEND KNZS (QUICK ROCK) -PITTSBURG, KANSAS put on a "No Madonna Week- end." FRANK BELL, P.D., tells us that it "ended up being a fun, interesting, and inexpensive promotion. And best of all, it generated a lot of street talk about the station during the final weeks of the book." In addition to giving away limited edition "Quick Rock No Madonna T- shirts" over the air, they threw a "No Madonna" party at a local bar, had spe- cial "No Madonna" ID's produced for the weekend, and interviewed Kevin O'Neal of the band live on the air Saturday. But Frank has a word of caution to anyone planning to do this: "Make sure the pro- motions attack the hype surrounding MADONNA and not the singer herself. If, for example, your jocks get too carried away in talking about this on the air, you could end up shooting yourself in the foot!"
