Correction
In the January 22nd issue of the Current (v.18 n. 30) Orion Experience frontman Orion Simprini was erroneously quoted as Robert Simprini.

How Love got her name
Evil and Evol
Twins for a day,
Decided to go
Their separate ways.
Evil grew up
Mean as can be;
It made Evol sad
That she was family.

Evol was gentler,
Caring and sweeter;
She was truthful and thoughtful,
All wanted to meet her.

She tried to help Evil
But she would not have it;
Evil took on her name
And went on to wreak havoc.

So to avoid the confusion,
And with consent from above,
Evol spelled her name backwards
And renamed herself Love.
– Jacqueline Hallenbeck
