Year-End Wrap-Up
Having just spent 97 hours culling old issues of this magazine for material for the Best Of CREEM II [on sale at your faithful newsstand soon!], I can say with some authority that Lisa Robinson, in case you hadn’t noticed, wrote some very perceptive and very funny pieces in her tenure as Eleganza’s founding columnist.

Having just spent 97 hours culling old issues of this magazine for material for the Best Of CREEM II [on sale at your faithful newsstand soon!], I can say with some authority that Lisa Robinson, in case you hadn’t noticed, wrote some very perceptive and very funny pieces in her tenure as Eleganza’s founding columnist. Her treatment of rock ’n’ roll is virtually unique to the scene.
Anyway, what I’m saying is that she has gone on, at least temporarily, to pursue other of her far-flung interests and she’s a hard act to follow. Especially when it comes to the Year-End Wrap-Up. But what the hell. Lisa saw 1977 her way, I’m sure, and I saw it mine.
