ONE MINUTE AND 12 SECONDS OF HELL
HELLO MERCURY: My name is Jack and I'm in a local punk rock band. Every time a punk show gets written up in the Up and Coming section of your paper it's a negative review. For years I used to get mad over this phenomenon, but yesterday after reading the exact same review given by you guys and the certainly out-of-touch Willamette Week I figured it out...
You don't have anyone on staff that understands or even LIKES punk music. The reviews always say the same thing, "this genre was dead by '78" or "you've heard it a million times, so who cares?"
Man, I'm young and furious and the soundtrack to my disillusionment is angry, drunk, loud, and fast. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it ain't, sometimes it's played by old tired bastards who need to hang it up, but dammit, I like it. All I'm saying is you should have someone on your staff that understands that there are a million kids out here who love it when some one stands up and says "I'm mad as fuck and I'm gonna yell about it for the next one minute and 12 seconds."
Jeez.
Late,
Jack Bastard
Thats from the mercury, I loved it. I don't love cops and I dont love robbers. They can get ass raped by my llama then hes gunna spit in their eye cause he is a hardcore thug llama with no feelings.
