KICKING IT AROUND
SHOW BIZ PEOPLE WHO CHOSE the names
Rock Hudson and Rock Hunter must have thought
that first name had a heroic sound. Rocky Marciano
was both the real and computer heavyweight cham
pion of boxing. Rocky Graziano was a fearless
fighter and is now the rich and lovable buffoon of
TV commercials: "Rocky" is the rich and loveable
(or not depending on your politics) governor of
New York.
Among fighters Rocky is usually a nickname for
Rocco and among governors it is short for Rocke
feller. With baseball players it has often been less
than flattering a brief version erf Rock Head.

But anybody who puts that interpretation on the
latest player to be called "Rocky" will have to
fight the army. He's a young fellow who after a
dazzling performance in the World Series turned
down the gold and glitter of Las Vegas to make
a tour of service bases and hospitals something
that has become his habit in the off season. He

Before getting to the traditional engagement
and wedding rings hip chicks are now using bands
on other fingers to indicate various stages of ro
mance. A band on the index finger means. stay
away on the pinky says "undecided" and the
middle finger is like a green light. But in the
dating game the one that works best is still the
ring on the telephone.

WET WEATHER REPORT
Heading a list of the 15 musical bestsellers not
long ago was "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by
Simon & Garfunkel. Small wonder the waters
were troubled it was raining air over the place.
Three of the top songs of the moment were "Rainy
Night in Georgia" Brook Benton "Kentucky
Rain" Elvis Presley and "Who'll Stop the Rain?"
Credence Clearwater.
And at the time Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops
Keep Fallin' On My Head" was making its run for
an Oscar.
Of course when you think about the standards
like "Singin' in the Rain" "April Showers" "Pen
nies from Heaven" "Stormy Weather" "I Get the
Blues When It Rains" "Rain on the Roof" and
"Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" you know that
