Just a note of thanks to you guys, and especially Rick Johnson, for your inciteful (sic—Ed.) article on mags in the June issue of CREEM. What puzzles us here at Hit Parader, however, is that we are quite proud of the boredom-threshold test induced by our layouts.

AND BUTTERMILK FROWNED. . .
Just a note of thanks to you guys, and especially Rick Johnson, for your inciteful (sic—Ed.) article on mags in the June issue of CREEM. What puzzles us here at Hit Parader, however, is that we are quite proud of the boredom-threshold test induced by our layouts. We like to think of it as a key to Hit Parader's continued success. Do you think it’s easy duplicating the exact same photo layout (often with the exact same photos) month after month? By the way, I’m typing this letter with my toes—another trick we’ve learned works well with both letters to fellow magazines and articles about Metallica.
The only regret we have is that since nobody buys or reads CREEM anymore, who the hell is going to read Rick’s masterful piece? As you know, I get mine for free.
