That’s Entertainment

Sometimes I find myself reading head
lines of the world’s greatest
newspapers...so, for today, I will share with
you some of those fantabulous stories that
you may have missed!!!
Off the Wall News
"Drip, drip"-Weekly World News-Sub-
title: Man bleeds to death—while watching
TV! A German man cuts four fingers to the
bone with a knife, just before a TV comedy
show was due to air. 'The man actually held
his hand over a big plastic bucket so he
wouldn’t bleed on his carpet. His sister
found him dead in an easy chair, TV blar
ing, when she visited his apartment the next
day." Local police say, "For his sake, I hope
he had a good time watching his show. For
his sake I hope he died laughing." (Oh,
that’s a horrible thing for those law eitfor-
cement officers to joke about.)
"Ants hivade Man’s Brain"--Smi-Sub-
title: Docs drill hole in his skull to spray in
secticide! Baffled medical authorities in
Brindisi, Italy, had no recourse but to call
an exterminator. (In my medical opinion, I
think it would have been more cost effec
tive to have bought a can of Raid Ant and
Roach Killer.)
"Man Jailed for Beating Doll"-National
Examiner-A laughing tale about a giiy
fined $130 for punching out a plastic, in
flatable blonde on a street in Wake Coun
ty, North Carolina...(Yea, great, this is the
kind of stuff North Carolina is going to be
come famous for.)
"Worshipers Send Millions to Holy
Elephant God"-Sun—This takes place in
India...not the Asheboro zoo!!!
"Naked Thief Turns Into Human Icicle"-
Weekly World News—Another strange
story from New York about a burglar who
stripped to squeeze through a vent in a
Chinese restaurant. He got stuck and, after
10 hours, froze to death in five degree
weather...(I’m sure if I had the time I could
come up with a few cold jokes about this
one.)
And, finally. "Elvis Spotted in Russia"-
Sun-More lies about the guy that is actual
ly giving out pizza and coupons on the cam
pus of Gardner-Webb. The story says he
was first seen near Kiev in the wake of the
Chernobyl disaster. ("I think he wanted to
do something, help in any way he could,"
notes a U.S. Elvisologist). Now, according
to a Russian bystander, "He’s developing a
keen interest in Soviet classical music. He
was tired of rock music. He wants to leam
about great composers like Tchaikovsky
and Rimsky-Korsakov." (Now that’s the
part I have a hard time believing...The
KING of Rock and Roll changing his
tune!!! Noway!!!)
And I’m afraid that just about wraps it up
for a look at Off the Wall News! Oh, don’t
cry!!! So, until I decide to disgrace you with
my presence once again...I’m Noel T. Man
ning, II asking this..."Why does Fred
Flintstone have only three toes???"
Don’t Forget!

Love’s Still Changing Hearts
THE IMPERIALS
Friday, October 12,8KK) pan.

The premier contemporary Christian pop
group, the Imperials, will bring their high-
spirited, message-filled show to Boiling
Springs on October 12. The concert, spon
sored by the Gardner-Webb Student
Entertainment Association, will be held in
the Paul Porter Arena of the Lutz-Yelton
Convocation Center at 8:00 p.m.
The Grammy and dove award winning
group has been a pacesetter for over twen
ty-five years. They have performed with the
likes of Elvis Presley, Jimmy Dean, Pat
Boone, and Michael Omartian. Country
singer Larry Gatlin was an Imperial for a
brief time.
Today, the Imperials (Armond Morales,
bass; Dave Will, baritone; Ron Hemby,
lead; and newest member David
Robertson, tenor) are surging ahead,
making a major impact on the charts of
Contemporary Christian music, effecting
positively the lives of those coming to con
certs. More than ever, the Imperials have a
clear call and vision of seeing lives changed
and God glorified.
'The Imperials have never compromised
their ministry of music," says Morales,
original member of the group. "And even
more exciting is how God continues to
refine and renew the vision and ministry of
the Imperials individually and corporately."
With new member David Robertson, the
Imperials not only have a strong new lead
singer but a fresh and serious songwriter as
well. Robertson comes to the Imperials
from Hollywood, California. He was a ses
sion vocalist for a variety of television
programs and movie scores. With David’s
father being a pastor, he has been a part of
music and ministry since childhood.
The Imperials newest release with new
label Star Song "Love’s Still Changing
Hearts" not only affirms the Imperials
trademark vocal harmonies and artistic
presentation, but this album is a classic
portrait of why the Imperials continue to
reign in Contemporary Christian music.
Simply, they strive for the freshest sound
and most innovative presentation of their
music.
The Imperials are now touring their 36th
recording which has shot to the top of the
radio play as well as the sales charts.
Please join the SEA on Friday, October
12 at 8:00 p.m. Admission is free with
GWC ID. Tickets for non-students are
available. For further information, caU the
