   Thanks, Kenneth.  Yeah, I was pretty sure about that.  Stephen King
 is known to be a big rock music fan and has quoted song lyrics in his
 books.  I haven't read much of King's work, but between that fact and 
 the related chronology of the respective careers, it seemed logical.
   Anyway, apparently Mike Taylor, who had said in an earlier message
 that it was the other way around, was making a joke - and I simply
 didn't pick up on it.  ;-\
   BTW, are you a fan of King Crimson?  Stephen King?  Neither?  Both?
     Cheers,
              Martin
