CLAMORS FOR PATTI Why don’t you CREEM-puffs cut loose of those petticoat-panzies you’ve been capping on (Karen Carpenter and Carly Simon for example) and get down to a real rock ‘n’ roll lady such as the notorious Patti Smith? (Is this “America’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine?” Or some redneck roster?)

CLAMORS FOR PATTI Why don’t you CREEM-puffs cut loose of those petticoat-panzies you’ve been capping on (Karen Carpenter and Carly Simon for example) and get down to a real rock ‘n’ roll lady such as the notorious Patti Smith? (Is this “America’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine?” Or some redneck roster?) Maybe you should rename this anti-rock magazine something like CRUMM. All I’ve seen from you on Patti wassome shit about her high school reunion. 1 mean—Mademoiselle beat ya to it (“Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Lady Raunch”—Sept, issue). I’s sad that even though I read CREEM daily, I have to refer to an even sicker magazine to keep up on rock ‘n’ roll. Also—what happened to your photographers? Dead? I’ve seen those pics of Lou Reed and Grace Slick for years. Oh!And tell the Ig-ster I said “hi.”
