FEBRUARY 1,1985 A Taste Of The Big Apple by Lisa Pavadore Collegian Feature Editor New York City has often been called the “city that never sleeps,” with it’s bright lights, screaming traffic, and swarms of people rushing around like they’re five minutes late for an appointment. I saw New York City at the end of holiday break. The city of New York makes the city of Boston (my home) look like a playground. If you plan to visit the Big Apple, you might consider visiting several places I visited. Firstly, as I had only a few hours to visit the city, Manhattan was the only borough I had time to see. The first stop on my excursion was the World. Trade Center. From the observation deck on this huge building (on the 107th floor!) one can see midtown Manhattan, New Jersey, the East and Hudson Rivers, and many bridges. Along with taking in the view, visitors can eat at New York’s highest snack bar and browse in the gift shop.

For a cultural visit, the Gug genheim Museum, is located on sth Ave. and 88th St. The Gug genheim Museum is easily recognizable, as Frank Lloyd Wright designed it in the shape of a cone.

It is hard to keep up with the pace of New Yorkers, but it’s fun trying! After a ten year hiatus, John Fogerty has re-emerged with an impressive solo effort. As the backbone of the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty singlehandedly propelled the group to the top with his uni que voice and guitar, which was only a complement to his behind the scenes work with songwriting and production. Fogerty progressively regresses on this album, combining the basic CCR country, rockabilly Other sights not described that one could visit include The Em pire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Wall Street, Radio City Music Hall, and Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. style with the latest recording technology and techniques. Like he did with CCR, Fogerty involves himself with everything from writing, producing, and playing all instruments to even assisting with the design of the record sleeve. He writes of youth and later life, which is evident by the hit “The Old Man Down The Road”. Fogerty reflects upon his childhood days, playing baseball on the title track as he says, “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play, today, look at me, I can be centerfield.” Showing that he has a sense of humor on the tune “Zanz Kant Danz”, Fogerty tells a story about a boy with a radio and a pig nam ed Zanz (who can’t dance), and as crowds would gather to watch the boy’s dance steps Zanz would wander about picking everyone’s pocket clean. If you enjoyed Fogerty with OCR you won’t want to miss “Centerfield”. PAGE 5
