1. For Accuracy....

....the name of the song is "Twilight Zone". The "bullet..." line though, is an obvious hook.

2. Didn't even realize I did that.

3. I'm Sure There Are Plenty Of People...

...who do think that is the title.
So, you actually provided a public service.

4. The working title was originally When The Bullet Hits The Bone, and that's how they introduced it when

they included it in a concert recorded for Rockpalast in June 1982, before they went into the studio to record it. They changed the title to.Twilight Zone before it was released in August, and Rockpalast didn't air the concert till that fall, so you hear one title from the band and then the final title is shown on the screen...but not till 5:42 in the video below.

6. Hmm. Did Not Know That!

The Swede was accurate, accidentally.

7. I've read so much about this band online in recent years, including a lot of Dutch articles I had to

use Google to translate.

It's a shame there was never a book about the band in English. There were a couple of books in Dutch, one focusing on George's songwriting, and the other a biography of Barry. Oh, and there was a book on an American fan's experience as a fan (self-published IIRC). But nothing comprehensive on the band covering their interesting history.

I've translated some of the Dutch articles about George the last few days. There are Dutch TV tributes, too, but they either have no captions, or machine translations to Dutch that mangle people's names and some Dutch words I do recognize so badly that I'm not going to type the mangled captions into Google Translate to see if I can make sense of them.
