I read in yesterday's paper that Robert (AKA R. Wright) Campbell died.

I really liked his Jimmy Flannery series, plus Boneyards and especially the La-La Land series. However, the obit claimed Campbell created the term La-La Land. That's not right, is it? The term certainly predates his 1986 novel In La-La Land We Trust, doesn't it?
