Dear Creem:
I’m replying to a letter I read in the last issue about 3rd Power and Savage Grace’s albums. I would like to know who the hell he thinks he is calling their music junk? What you mean they are trying to be something they aren't. These guys are playing what they feel
different and are good at their own thing. It’s too bad we have narrow minded people who don’t know what they are talking about. Why don’t you get down?

Dear Creem;
So Detroit finally is “it” in the rock and roll industry. Well, if we indeed have been the mother for the child it is time for the child to go to school.
Let all Michigan bands disband and reform new “SUPER” groups. No more than 2 ex-members with any band. Can you imagine Ted Nugent, Wayne Kramer, Dick Wagner all in the same group?
Or maybe Detroit and the music of the people deserves to die.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Creem:
Man walked on the surface of the moon for the first time in history almost a year ago.
The triumphs of science and technology have helped us to progress for good or evil.
It is up to man if he is to progress using his genius technology and his ideas for social and technical progress.
We have a very short time left here on earth and we do not yet have the ability for all people to leave our planet so instead we will have to solve our problems and cure our ills before time itself runs out.
Sincerely yours,
John Brining

Dear Creem;
A word to be said on the Stooges receiving a standing ovation at the St. Louis Pop Festival. True, the crowd was on their feet, but only to see Iggy dance, flutter and molest chicks in the audience. It just so happened when the Stooges finished each tune, the freaks were already standing and the fact that they clapped hardly equals the much deserved standing applauds (sic) the beautiful Amboy Dukes got.
The Frost’s drummer brought half the masses to their feet in response to his excellent solo. The rest of the group is damn good, too, with sharply inter-woven guitar work.
Unfortunately, the bad P.A. system fucked up the dynamic Frijid Pink. Still, their rendition of “Shakin’ All Over” came out far more contemporary than that we saw the capitalistic, anti-Yippe Who perform last summer.
