     This album promises to do quite 
     
     well for Tanya. The first single, 
     
     “Strong Enough to Bend”, has 
     
     done well on the country charts. 
     
     Other tangy songs.are: “ You’re 
     
     Not Alone”; “Highway Robbery”; 
     
     and (my favorite), “Call on Me”. 
     
     Strong Enough to Bend is a must 
     
     for all Tanya Tucker fans at the 
     
     University of Prince Edward Is-

     U2 Rattle and Hum 
     
    
   
   
    
     by Shelli Wheaton 
     
    
   
   
    
     At last, The long-awaited re- 
     
     lease of U2’s Rattle and Hum, one 
     
     of the most talked about films of 
     
     the year. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Rattle and Hem is not so 
     
     much a movie as it is a collection 
     
     of fine concert footage consisting 
     
     of excerpts from the band’s re- 
     
     cent Joshua Tree Tour. With 
     
     the exception of scattered com- 
     
     ments through out the film, there 
     
     are basically no serious interviews 
     
     with U2 pertaining to the origins 
     
     of he movie, the band;s evolution 
     
     to stardom, its future plans, and 
     
     other issues commonly dealt with 
     
     in films such as this. 
     
    
   
   
    
     For some, Rattle and Hum 
     
     may be received as a strange dis- 
     
     appointment. Because a rather 
     
     lengthy segment of the picture is 
     
    
   
   
    
     filmed in black and white, one 
     
     may begin to wonder why such 
     
     an astronomical sensation as U2 
     
     would not be more adequately en- 
     
     hanced by the marvel of modern 
     
     technology — like color. Coupled 
     
     with the lack of documentary in 
     
     the film, as will as there be- 
     
     ing no elaborate stage gimmicks, 
     
     outrageous expectations of U2 to 
     
     take on a more glittering image, 
     
     mostly as a result of the incredi- 
     
     ble popularity of the Joshua Tree 
     
     and the rise of U2 as one of the 
     
     more influential recording artists 
     
     to date. This image is not evi- 
     
     dent in Rattle and Hum. 
     
    

    
     It is perhaps for this very rea- 
     
     son of rising expectations ha the 
     
     conception of Rattle and Hum 
     
     cam to be. U2 is a political 
     
    
   
   
    
     band unlike any other that has 
     
    
   
   
    
     achieved such power, influence 
     
     and popularity as these Irish mu- 
     
     sicians have today. And rather 
     
     than succumb to commercializa- 
     
     tion by issuing ridiculous inter- 
     
     views to promote themselves, or 
     
     creating unnecessary glitter in 
     
     their performances, they have 
     
     been able to stick with the ba- 
     
     sics of producing their own entic- 
     
     ing message with music that ig- 
     
     nites passion, soul— searching and 
     
     meaning, The naked voice of U2 
     
     needs no enhancing to make itself 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' known, appreciated and admired. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Making its message known is 
     
     the intent of Rattle and Hum. 
     
     The appreciation and admiration 
     
     of U2 just naturally follows.
