Although we’re not an overly sentimental bunch, we are sad to relate that this is Bill Holdship’s last issue as an editor of CREEM. After seven years of service, during which he helped forge the very persona of this magazine, Bill is moving on to the editorial staff at Radio & Records, who haven’t had much in-depth Velvet Underground coverage of late.

Although we’re not an overly sentimental bunch, we are sad to relate that this is Bill Holdship’s last issue as an editor of CREEM. After seven years of service, during which he helped forge the very persona of this magazine, Bill is moving on to the editorial staff at Radio & Records, who haven’t had much in-depth Velvet Underground coverage of late.
Ho’ship’s departure will certainly be felt here at CREEM in that we’ll probably go months on end without mentioning Elvis Presley', Lou Reed and the Beatles. Other than that, though, we’re kinda glad to get rid of him.
For the many miHions who’ve requested we put the Holdshipian face in our mag, here’s a photo of Be’o doing whatever the hell it was he used to do. As you can see, his legendary handsomeness was never exaggerated or anything.
Heee.
The long sedate Beer Desk tells us that the Replacements, en route to the wedding of Paul Westerberg in Michigan, stopped off to open an Ann Arbor show for their erstwhile touring pals, the Young Fresh Fellows. Our congratulations to Westerberg and his wife, Lori, while we’re at it.
