    BONUS CLUE

    Some of the more arresting ideas of Arthur Koestler and Carl Jung inhabited the precincts of this riddle's production.

    Rather than albums of possible suspicious persons, they produced albums with possibly suspicious titles.

    Line 1 - Alice Cooper??

    Line 2 - Aaron Copeland??

    But as for the rest - ?? something to do with Humbert Humbert??

    I think you've done it, billl - produced one that has stumped us all!

    There's something Michaely Jacksonish in there perhaps?

    kasie is right both times! (line one and line two are correct)

    Mick is definitely on the beat! (correct time frame)


    EDIT: (Alice Cooper is not right, but I had Alice Cooper in mind... The clue there, again, is "...when school is out...")

    It's The Police.

    Summer is when school's out - Andy Summers.
    Kasie got Copeland - Stewart being the drummer.
    And the bad side of honey will be the Sting.

    That's right.

    Took a while, but I noticed some people were gone for a while...

    I've just been taking my sweet time, trying out substitutions now and then. Perfectly content, no complaints here. Though, I guess I wouldn't mind knowing if it weren't a substitution cipher.

    It is, yeah. Well, if I understand what a substitution cipher is. If it means, you can replace one character with another character, you just have to work out the mapping - then, yes, that's exactly what it is.

    I am also working on the letter R being substituted for J as in Dvorak.
