SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Single Lambs looking for ro-
mance could fi nd Cupid especially
accommodating this week. Paired
partners also fi nd their relation-
ships benefi ting from the chubby
cherub’s attention.
by Dave T. Phipps
AMBER WAVES
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Your early enthusiasm for a project
might have been somewhat pre-
mature. Although you feel positive
about it, you might need more
information in order to make an
informed decision.
by Jeff Pickering
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Keep your keen Bull’s eye focused
on your target, and shake off any
attempt to turn your attention else-
where. You should get some news
later in the week that might answer
some questions.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Taking on a new responsibility
might seem like the politically
correct thing to do. But even with
the promise of support, was it the
wisest? Consider reassessing your
upcoming decision.
FLASHBACK
SUPER CROSSWORD: KID-LIT QUACK
by Mick Harper
1. Name the group
whose debut single
was “New York Min-
ing Disaster 1941.”
2. Which Jackson
Browne song was
added to the collec-
tor’s edition of the
2001 soundtrack for
the 1994 fi lm “For-
rest Gump”?
3. Name the group
that released “From
the Beginning.”
4. What was the
name of the single hit
by the Th e O’Kays-
ions?
5. Name the song
that contains this
lyric: “I’d have
thought that with
time thoughts of her
would leave my head,
I was wrong and I
fi nd just one thing
makes me forget.”
CRYPTOQUIP
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) A business agreement from
the past might need to be looked at
again. Use this unexpected devel-
opment to check out other matters
related to it. A weekend venture
proves to be rewarding.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Don’t ignore that uneasy feeling
about making a commitment. It
could be a case of understandably
cold feet, or a warning that some-
thing isn’t as right as it should be.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) A colleague could be
more supporting of one of your
eff orts. But it’s up to you to make
the case for it, and that could mean
opening up a secret or two, which
might be a problem for you.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Expect some good
news about a relative you’ve been
worried about. But don’t expect the
full story to be told -- at least not
yet.
ANSWERS
1. Th e Bee Gees,
in 1967. Th ey were
inspired to write the
song while sitting in a
stairway during a pow-
er outage. A mining
catastrophe in Wales
in 1966 was fresh in
their minds, when 144
people were killed.
2. “Running on
Empty,” which Browne
released in 1977.
3. Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, in 1972 on
their “Trilogy” album.
4. “Girl Watcher,”
in 1968. Th ey were
originally known as
Th e Kays.
5. “Red, Red Wine,”
fi rst recorded by
singer-songwriter Neil
Diamond in 1967.
UB40 released a reggae
version in 1983. Th e
group saw “Diamond”
as a writer credit,
unaware that it was
Neil Diamond who’d
written the song.
