------whoops, sorry.  crossed wires on that rotting stone spin-off rumor.
	actually, i stole a copy and it isn't as bad as it could be.  
	includes a great replacements pic with a vapid article on them
	and the del fuegos.   much back-patting in the intro--we're
	supposed to agree how cool the whole staff is.  retch.  keep
	buying your favorite fanzines for what's really going on.
