The late Robert Bloch probably remains best-known as the creator of Norman Bates, but there's much more to him than that. I particularly recommend his short stories, which range from bleak, Lovecraftian horror to the most blackly-humorous of tall tales. He will ever be a Master of the Macabre.

The moron Ross on Greatest Hits does it again. The film That'll Be The Day was released in 1973. (As was the Aloha From Hawaii Elvis special.) Get It On by T Rex (his first track from the chosen year) was released, and a hit, TWO YEARS EARLIER. It was NOT re-released in 1973. Useless. #SackRoss
