Injunction Against Perry Denied NARM Changes — NARM has announced the promotion of Pam Cohen to executive director and the staff addition of Patrick Gorlick as director of creative services. LOS ANGELES — The Suffolk Superior Court of Massachusetts has denied Michael Pam Cohen previously served as NARM’s director of administration and association J. Striar’s application for a preliminary injunction to prevent Perry from performing Joe programs. She joined the Association in February 1985, following a 12-year stint with Aerosmith.

Striar claims that Perry’s promotions for Atlantic Records. Rejoining the NARM staff is Patrick Gorlick, the performances with constitute a breach of that contract and that a result, Aerosmith as new director of creative services.

E4ST CG4STINGS Paul Ittrio, Nt'ir York IF IT’S NOT FAST, IT’S NOT LOVE — Some guy at the Irving Plaza bar the other night was joking about how he would like to hear John Lydon sing The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme (“Love Is All Around”). He imitated Lydon singing positively lurid renditions of such innocent lines as “you’re ,” gonna make it afterall,” “who can takea nothing date . . . and (especially) “. . . and every little movement you show it.” (Indeed, tone is one thing the PMRC can't sticker.) Husker Du didn’t exactly do that at Irving Plaza April 12, though they did play the song and they do share the same town as Ms. Richards. “We’re from the St. Paul side,” says Husker Du singer, songwriter, and guitarist Bob Mould. “We used to go over to Minneapolis to play because that’s where the gigs were. When we came around they had nothing better to do than argue about whether they were from Minneapolis or St. Paul. Out of sheer boredom, rivalry is creat- ed.” To those who say ‘enough of this Hometown-Smalltown-Born In The U.S.A. schtick,’ hold on: / these guys are authentic speci-
