BOY HOWDY'S HEAVY 101 NOW MAKE WAY FOR EL KABUS! OR 87...59...9...WHATEVER!
A couple of years ago, CREEM put out an entire magazine call-ed Heavy 100. "A guide to who's hot!" cried the ever-imaginative cover headline. It was a wonder-ful idea—right up there with Eureka Vacuum's new four-way Dial-A-Nap—and it sold more than 14 copies nationwide.

A couple of years ago, CREEM put out an entire magazine call-ed Heavy 100. "A guide to who's hot!" cried the ever-imaginative cover headline. It was a wonder-ful idea—right up there with Eureka Vacuum's new four-way Dial-A-Nap—and it sold more than 14 copies nationwide.
We never quite figured out the problem, but it might have had something to do with the mathematical fact that it wasn't a Heavy 100 at all. If you add up all the people on the cover, you only get 17. Even if you include the names at the top—Def Leppard, Journey (this was way back), Men At Work, Bowie, Prince and everybody in his Revolution, you still only come up with around 34.
Oh...wait a minute, I see. We simply counted Boy George as 66 people. No problemo!
