STILL.... you wonder where it all went wrong? Well, to err is human, to forgive questionable at best, but nevertheless Godzilla has informed us that he understands the American public's reluctance to vote for a candidate who isn't even a naturalized citizen, let alone human, and wishes the nation well anyway. But beware: according to the TMT Calendar, 1976 will be the Year of the Monster, so there's still a chance that salvation is near. In any case, be on the lookout for it. Now, more than ever, Godzilla's the one."

RIP to the three members of T. Rex
Steve Currie (May 19, 1947 – April 28, 1981), aged 33
Mickey Finn (June 3, 1947 – January 11, 2003), aged 55
Marc Bolan (September 30, 1947 – September 16, 1977), aged 29
Bolan never learned to drive, fearing a premature death; he feared he would die before he was 30 years old. Bolan was a passenger in a Mini 1275GT driven by Gloria Jones as they headed home from Morton's Club Restaurant in Berkeley Square, London. Both had been drinking, the car struck a fence post and then a tree; Bolan was killed instantly.
