I just got an irate phone call about the “Prince Of Minneapolis” article I did for your Sept, issue. The complaint is valid, so I’d greatly appreciate it if you could run the following correction in an upcoming issue. It could help get an entire community off my back:

CORRECTION!
I just got an irate phone call about the “Prince Of Minneapolis” article I did for your Sept, issue. The complaint is valid, so I’d greatly appreciate it if you could run the following correction in an upcoming issue. It could help get an entire community off my back:
With regard to the article “Prince Of Minneapolis” (CREEM, Sept. ’84), writer Greg Linder tells us he was mistaken about the origin of the name “Coon Rapids” (a Minneapolis suburb). The writer sincerely apologizes to anyone he may have offended. The community’s name historically refers to raccoons and not, as was implied, to black settlers.

I’m certainly surprised you haven’t been sued for libel yet. (Join the club!—Ed.)
