...musician friends, where what they thought was cocaine was free for the snorting. It turned out to be heroin. One man, Robbie Mclntosh, a drummer, died of the stuff. But Cher (as she testified last month before a grand jury that indicted Moss for murder) took Alan Gorrie, a bass player, home with her and kept him walking around to prevent him from lapsing into a coma.

AGAIN, ALMOST accidentally, the sheer triteness of Nilsson's script is often the richest source of humor. Oblio meets a heap of rocks, Rock Man (Gerald Bernstein), a "stone person" with a deep, throbbing double-bass of a voice and an endless stream of outdsted jargon, "Being a rock," he intones, "is a very...heavy...life.

This means that one string can be set to play a percussive ostinato, while its neighbor simulates a keyboard synthesizer. Another string might be tuned as a bass. The remaining strings could be used as a live guitar. While the resulting one-man band is somewhat less than an orchestra, a musician playing a guitar synthesizer could fill in for any six-man rock group-or one twelve-handed guitarist...
