Since CREEM is the last rock magazine I would expect to say anything good about Linda Ronstadt (not that other rock rags, like The New York Rolling Stone, are that crazy about her), I approached your review of her Mad Love LP with more-than-a-little dread.

RONSTADT UPSURGE BEGINS!
Since CREEM is the last rock magazine I would expect to say anything good about Linda Ronstadt (not that other rock rags, like The New York Rolling Stone, are that crazy about her), I approached your review of her Mad Love LP with more-than-a-little dread.
But—surprii-iise!!—Mitch Cohen actually likes Mad Love! And what’s more, Richard Riegel (of all people!) defends Linda in the first of three paragraphs of his Thin Red Line review.,Plus, JeffNesin, in his review of GetHappyU, indicates a wish that E the Costello will “stop beating on poor Linda R.” for recording his songs. (Nesin was probably being ironic in that line, but who cares?)
Keep up the good work—I just might start subscribing to CREEM again.
Thanks,

P.S. Who’re you callin’ a wimp? Besides Ronstadt, I also like the Stones, the Pistols, the Pretenders & the B-52’s.
