LETTERS
Dear CREEM: I just received one of the twenty complimentary copies of the CREEM Magazine which you and your staff arranged to have sent here to the Michigan State Prison, and I will have to say that I was surprised. I was expecting something in line with my home-town underground paper, the 5th Estate.

Dear CREEM:
I just received one of the twenty complimentary copies of the CREEM Magazine which you and your staff arranged to have sent here to the Michigan State Prison, and I will have to say that I was surprised. I was expecting something in line with my home-town underground paper, the 5th Estate. I’m happy to find that your paper is infromative without being baroque and your advertisements are extremely bizarre. Your staff owe a lot to your photography crew, their picture lay-outs are great.
We here at the prison found the article “Jailhouse Rock” enjoyable, and again the photography was beautiful. We hope that CREEM Magazine and WABX will keep us in mind, and again soon invade us with more high energy rock & roll music.
Keep up the good work because I hope to get my subscription to Creem approved soon.
An Inside Reader
Dear Creem:
You’ve done it again. The blurb in Rock and Roll News about Felix Pappalardi and his new band was typical of the infantile jornalism that you occasionally lapse into.
If you have something to say, come out and say it; there’s no need for this kind of snide, slippery bullshit. Why would someone write something like that? What kind of satisfaction does he get from it? This is exactly the sort of juvenile ego-tripping that characterizes so many of these oh-so-urbane “intellectual” rock magazines, and I, for one, am sick of it I would much rather read an honest, straightforward presentation of an opinion, whether 1 agreed with it or not. Get it together, punks!
Peace and Power, Fhonda Peters
