EURYTHMICS: THIS IS 1985, OK?

You would think that with one platinum album, two number one singles and three sold-out tours, even a halfway decent band would get some respect (translate that to airplay) the next time they released a record. Ah, but nothing’s as simple or as logical as it should be in the radio-ruled world of big time music biz politics—or film, either, for that matter. Just ask Eurythmics, they’ll tell you. In fact Annie Lennox finds it amusing— “bemusing, because I can see the irony of the whole thing,” she says, striking an appropriately bored pose for the cameras of Entertainment Tonight.
