Creem mag was also witty with pulled quotes. I remember the Sylvie Simmons story on Stevie Nicks -- "Macrame Goddess Confronting the Gates of Elmo." Once you were done laughing at that hysterical title, your eyes glanced downward on the page & saw the following pulled quote from Stevie: "I just get a good feeling from ... I don't know ... the air." It effectively rendered the rest of the story an anticlimax.
