LOU REED SINGS GILBERT O’SULLIVAN? As I write this, ’83 is yawning to a close and it occurs to me that I should write to commemorate 10 years of my reading CREEM. That’s right: first issue I read was September ’73. Most of the current staff was not writing for CREEM back then (some would surmise that most of your staff was not yet born).

LOU REED SINGS GILBERT O’SULLIVAN?
As I write this, ’83 is yawning to a close and it occurs to me that I should write to commemorate 10 years of my reading CREEM. That’s right: first issue I read was September ’73. Most of the current staff was not writing for CREEM back then (some would surmise that most of your staff was not yet born). I’m a tender 17 years of age myself (hope you feel guilty as hell about being responsible for my degeneration) and.am hoping you’ll print this as a courtesy, or at least in hopes of my continued patronage. Just a few random observations (my favorite kind):
1. Dave DiMartino has great taste in “heroes.” Sure wish the last Beefheart feature had been written by him.
2. The Rockpile cover story of a few years back, Johnson’s AC/DC and Queen Books of Lists, and the infamous ’74 review of Lou Reed Sings Gilbert O’Sullivan may well keep me laughing all the way to my grave.
