This latest score by Vangelis puts him comfortably in the lead over Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre (and Steve Roach trailing badly) with less than a quarter still to go. However, analysts note that “it’s never over 'til it’s over” and that any number of hallucinatory sequences still remain to be played. ---

_It’s Never Over ('Til It’s Over)_ was a big flop on the Billboard charts, having only made it to #109 on the Bubbling Under charts on August 3, 1955. It was released on Decca Records (#B21124), recorded by Johnny and the Phartucchios, and the flip side had the even more egregiously inept _Doctor, What’s This Thing On My Elbow?_ by, of course, Orson Bean. ---

Blawnox PA town library Miss Granolabarruci has kept a special shelf for all the newspaper articles and books about the Blawnox serial killer. While many people have seen her out at night walking in the area and carrying a tool box in areas where bodies have later been found hammered to death , and eviscerated with various tools, it is totally shocking that Miss Granolabarruci would ever been accused of any such crime because everyone knows that little old lady librarians are totally incapable to committing such atrocities Main suspects in the murders include Stephen King, Chuck Pumpkins, and Orson Bean. ---

Police investigators were ready to throw the book at suspect Chuck Pumpkins and even heaved him into the station to force a confession. After pelting him with a barrage of questions, investigators became less convinced especially after Chuck’s lawyer Peg Gourds arrived and lobbed more questions at her client and he delivered credible answers. Investigators felt shoved into a corner but were forced to pitch Pumpkins to the curb. Insults were hurled but eventually calmer heads prevailed and the sergeant of the detectives even tossed him an apology. ---

Life imitates art dept.: **Richard Bachman** has been trying to “retire” “Stephen King” for three decades, now. Taking a page (:)) from his novel, “The Dark Half,” (written by “King”'s _nom de plume_, “George Stark”) Bachman tried to eliminate the bespectacled doppelgänger by running him over with a van, to no effect. Claudia is in the process of doing away with Tabitha–hoping that will put an end to the best-selling Maine-iac’s existence–by purchasing a copy of **The Necronomicon** , but industry insiders are expecting total failure. And at least 25 printing runs. Plus, two TV mini-series helmed by Mick Garris and three feature films written and directed by Frank Darabont. ---
