MOTELY CRUE A Threat... Or Rockin' Mofos?
Next to the surge of letters sent to METAL protesting the anti-metal sentiments of Dick & David Waaktaar (see “Heavy Metal Will Never Die!” elsewhere in this issue), no issue has elicited more mail than a series of letters that appeared condemning both the music and the antics of Motley Crue.
