[clip art of a dictionary illustration for 'anamorphosis', and a letter to the editor from Tower Records' PULSE! magazine: 'Like a hurricane - Dear PULSE!, Much of the music I hear today can do the proverbial "knock me over with a feather" thing. MTV is still doing a great bang-up job. Rock is alive and well. After all these years, themes haven't changed, although variances and talents of artists still grow and increase inwardly and outwardly. God bless all of the hard time rockers in our great amphitheater. Gary Leonard, Uniondale, N.Y.']

in the corridor when we had reached the height of boredom. It was so good to see him instead of another chick with frosted hair, stretch jeans and highheeled faux cowboy boots.

But what made me really sad was when I came home and listened to some old Stones records searching for some clue, some foreshadowing, some bit of crap that could have been the start of their road to Aerosmithdom. I couldn't find it. All I found was their lost genius. Great fucking classic songs. Great music and twists and lyrics that lead one to believe that Mick and the baoys knew exactly what was up. I love that stuff! I totally respect it. Beggar's Banquet, you know? Excellent! What the fuck happened?

Do they know they suck? Do they just keep crankin' this shit out for the fuck of it? Cause they wanna see how much money people will lay down for this shit? How do they live with themselves? Or do they actually believe in what they are doing? Impossible!

The Rolling Stones have degenerated farther than any band in history. I mean, "Sympathy For The Devil," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Off My Back," versus "The Sparks Will Fly"? I mean, really guys! What is this shit? Pablum. I don't want any of it.

And then the topper: A glossy flyer ad for the Rolling Stones MasterCard! I kid you fucking not! Is that the most disgusting thing you have ever heard of, or what? I would hate it even more than OK Cola or XLent except that it's aimed at Baby Boomers and I think that's kinda funny (most of them probably love the idea!) Icky! Icky!!
