My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Powerball Winner Turns Himself In

BURLINGTON, Ky., Aug 09, 2000 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- A man who won a $65.4
million Powerball lottery jackpot turned himself in to authorities Wednesday,
avoiding an arrest for failing to appear in court.

Mack Metcalf, 42, a forklift operator from Florence, did not show up in court
Tuesday to face charges of drunken driving, driving without a license and
leaving the scene of an accident. Police said Metcalf hit a parked car several
times in a mall parking lot on June 19.

After he surrendered Wednesday, a judge withdrew a warrant for Metcalf's arrest,
allowing him to remain free, sheriff's department spokesman Darren Harris said.

Metcalf won the July 22 Powerball drawing. He chose the $34.1 million lump-sum
cash option.

State lottery officials were about to clear him to receive his winnings when the
Kenton County attorney's office informed them that Metcalf had been behind on
child support payments since 1986.

A judge ordered Metcalf to pay $880,000 to a fund for future support because he
already owed at least $31,000.
