SGT. PEPPER Picks A Peck Of Pickled Pop Stars
Another post-Beatles spin-off. So big deal. Do these people think this will force the Fab Four to shit or get off the pot? After all the hoopla hits the fan, John, Paul, George and whoever will most, likely flee to a Madagascar leper colony to hide their shame.

SGT. PEPPER Picks A Peck Of Pickled Pop Stars
Another post-Beatles spin-off. So big deal. Do these people think this will force the Fab Four to shit or get off the pot? After all the hoopla hits the fan, John, Paul, George and whoever will most, likely flee to a Madagascar leper colony to hide their shame. And no one would blame them. Then again, maybe not. Face facts: How often do Peter Frampton (Billy Shears), Billy Preston (Sat. Pepper), The Bee Gees (Lonely Hearts Club Band), Alice Cooper (Father Sun), Steve Martin (Dr. Maxwell Edison), Sandy Farina (Strawberry Fields), Diane Steinberg (Lucy), George Bums (Mr. Kite), Aerosmith (Future Villains), and Earth, Wind * and Fire get together for some good, clean fun? Never? You wish! And this nrtorwtrosity was written by a rock critic, Henry Edwards! More reason to check it out—maybe the world will finally get a glimpse into the demented world inhabited by the likes of R.'s Meltzer and Christgau.■ V Welcome to our nightmare, indeed!
