Remember this: your ballot must reach us by December 1, 1986, to “count.” And: you may, if you wish, include a rabbit’s foot, horseshoe, silver dollar or some other goodluck charm, which we will burn on the Altar O’ Bobo in order to make this a happier world.

Speaking of utopia, you can help usher in the age of enlightenment by filling out the inevitable CREEM questionnaire on the back of this page. Imagine—a world at peace that you helped forge, at the expense of deep personal humiliation! It’ll be great!

Then, of course, it’s a heady bowl of shrimp creole and off to bed! Let’s go!!
