Why is it you guys devote so much material in your rag to hypes like Alice Cooper, yet refuse to interview someone who REALLY has his head together, like say, for instance, Cat Stevens? Tim Jurgens did an admirable job on the “Aladdin Sane” review.

GLAM-ROCK DEMONS!
HEY!!
Why is it you guys devote so much material in your rag to hypes like Alice Cooper, yet refuse to interview someone who REALLY has his head together, like say, for instance, Cat Stevens? Tim Jurgens did an admirable job on the “Aladdin Sane” review. I’d like to see him handle Stevens the way he did Bowie. It’d be great to see what any of your writers could do with someone who isn,’t possessed with the demons of glam-rock; or an artist without homosexual tendencies.
Speaking of which, I enjoyed your Androgeny Hall of Fame article. Why wasn’t Lester Bangs included?
Disappointed in Peekskill
