THE ADVENTURES OF ANNE IN THE LAND OF GLAM Fairy tales for the MTV generation.
As rock and roll reporters, Creem writers have to have contacts of all kinds from all over creation. I still haven't interviewed the father of punk, Pete Townshend, but I did get the father of our country—George Washington. And, as usual, when I got Georgie Boy as he liked to be called (at first), not one publication wanted him.

As rock and roll reporters, Creem writers have to have contacts of all kinds from all over creation. I still haven't interviewed the father of punk, Pete Townshend, but I did get the father of our country—George Washington.
And, as usual, when I got Georgie Boy as he liked to be called (at first), not one publication wanted him. All they wanted was passe shmucks like King Henry 1,2,3,4 and 5. Finally Creem has the sense to beg for some glam. It’s about time. It’s only taken 238years.
July 11, 1749:
Dear Diary,
I was walking down the cobblestone streets of Fredricksburg, Virginia and this guy atop a white prancing horse gallops by. “Wow! What a hunk,” 1 think. I call out loud, “Hi.”
“Whoa!” he shouts. And the horse makes a sexy snorting sound. Then he and the horse back-up and we introduce ourselves as nothing but friends. His name is George and he wants to be a political star. He just bought his first white wig. He’s gonna put powder in it and start meeting people tomorrow night.
