Only in Geek Weekly, my friends, would we find stunning social commentary, elegant sexual prose and rock news before its time. Only in Geek Weekly can two find talents so lustily embrace the age-old edict: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!"
Keep up the good work ladies. Yours in servitude,
-Ian Tennant, Waco Tribune-Herald

As a cultural commentator impersonator, I consider it my solumn duty to keep my thumb firmly planted on the pulse of young America. Regretfully, as I grow futher removed from youth and closer to a reunion with my maker (Hasbro), I have on increasing occasion removed my thumb from the afforementioned pulse to operate a remote control or bowling ball. As my colleagues wax incessantly about Tortoise and Elliott Smith, I am tooling about town in my auto doing steering wheel drum solos to Jeffersoon Starship. How insensitive.

The only way someone as shamefully out-of-touch as me could
maintain a semblance of in-the-know credibility is by reading Geek Weekly. Jennifer and Susan's thoughful analysis of local and
national music trends is an invaluabel tool in cultivating an arsenal of witty bon mots to drop at parties and shows. And their article on the powerful, all-knowing triumverate of Craig Koon, Tim Stegall and Rob Patterson taught me more about scene politics than a decade of gigs (...and I could've been home watching "Law and Order").

Yet Geek Weekly is more than music. Much more. Susan and Jennifer has repeatedly taken their readers on a cryptic journey to
the soft white underbelly of our society where life is as sweetly
decadent as a dozen Krispy Kreme Hot News. Their extended
Memphis travelogues have always struck a chord with me, perhaps
because I once bought a really nice pair of slacks there, but that's
another story altogether.

For now, I leave the fine young ladies of Geek Weekly with a word
from Joaquin Miller I found in "The Businessmans's Book of Quotes
for All Occasions":

"Brave admiral, say but one good word:
What shall we do when hope is gone?"
The words leapt like a leaping sword:
"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"

God bless Geek Weekly and all who sail with her.
-Greg Beets, Peenbeets
