ROCK 'N' ROLL NEWS

YOUR MAGAZINE IS NOT A CROOK

What the hell, let’s reprint this baby verbatim and go for the gusto. From the Chicago Tribune: “One would think that political committees would be very careful choosing names ever since Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP) became rather notorious. A new group in the 4th and 5th Wards pushing a second term for [Chicago Mayor Harold] Washington has renamed itself (surprisingly enough) Committee to Re-elect the Mayor, or CREEM for short. Okay.” We’ll just add that “Okay” is a Tribune euphorism for “Heee.”

In a tragic oversight, the last issue of CREEM neglected to proudly announce that this magazine has relocated to Los Angeles, which is a city in the Southwestern part of the United States. Happy locals agree the editors look very handsome here ...

.. .This just in: the 1987 edition of The Guinness Book Of World Records will note that Manowar, those gods of metal ’n’ Marshalls, are the official loudest band in the world. They were clocked in at 160 decibels, thus displacing previous loudees, the Who, who had held the high honor with a pitiful 120 decibels.
