Then, take heart in the story of a former resident of this Koote- may smelter town who has lis- tened to just about every Heavy Metal record ever produced and has just published a book about them. Martin Popoff, 30, still has all his faculties, including his hearing. He has never been charged with a grisly crime. And he is self-supporting, having completed his Masters of Busi- ness Administration and gone on to set up his own business. What more can a parent ask for? Well, maybe Popoff's new book, Riff Kills Man: 25 Years of Recorded Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. If there is atcen metal-head on your Christmas dist, the book will save you a visit to a Top 40 record store and a pounding by _.the stuff Popoff writcs about Instead, you can slip into a nice quiet book store, pick up a copy and move on to worrying about what to get Uncle Harry. Riff Kills Man is a book of capsule record reviews. They're all here, from Alice Cooper to ZZ Top. The 1,942 reviews in the book cover every HR and HM recording of any note ever issued, according to Popoff. “I started listening to and buy- ing records when I was 12 or 13 . and it kind of snowballed from there,” ” Popoff said -ohioagp ean interview from his Toronto Popoff said he finds nis inner inter- est in the hard stuff growing rather than waning.

But it is also good- humored. Hard rock, for example, is “that nebulous low-slung guitar fluff that makes you want to drink coolers, put on a nice shirt and chase women, rather than drink beers, dress in black and defile a graveyard. “Pioneered by bands like Aerosmith (and) Kiss ... hard rock is above all melodic, generically structured and overtly concerned with luv, sex or hair styles,” he writes.

Instead of names and numbers which are essential for delivery people, they have fancy designs or decals of fruit or animals,’or theré are vines growing all over the box. which may look charming but are a nuisance to us. When there is no name or num- , ber we have to take the package back to the terminal, make a phone call, get-dinections and try again. There's a mire important reason people should have their names and addresses Clearly visible on homes and mailboxes. Listen to this: A while back, I noticed that on a 1-mile stretch of road, every house had a name and number on it. When I commented about this rarity to a homeowner, she informed me that two years before, an elderly couple had lived on that street, When the mand had a heart attack, his wife called 911. * iP y but. couldn't locate the house. Binally, they found it when his wife went outside, panic-stricken, to flag them down. Her husband died on the way to the hospital. No one will ever know if those pre- cious wasted minutes would have saved the man's life. - When word of that tragic inci- dent got around the community, everyone went out and put numbers on their houses and mailboxes Please tell your readers 10 go out and get large, easy-to-read numbers for their homes and mailboxes NOW before tragedy strikes.--D.K in Cary, N.C.
