Newspaper Page TextJanuary 24, 1990 Flagpole Magazine Page 5 Letter # 3 Lindsay’s Love Letter To my knowledge there are no laws presently on the books making it illegal to be an asshole, a title I accept and have somewhat earned. Lying however is not accepted, especially when it is a lie about me by someone who would take my job in a flash. I assume that my readers are of semi-average intelligence and can evaluate and comprehend the words they read. In my review of the Chickasaw Mudpuppies (sic) in the December 23, 1989 Creative Loafing i never insinuated that the Chowder Shouters were on Folkways Records, nor did I confuse the Chowder Shouters with the McIntosh County Shouters. As far as I can tell both the Chowder Shouters and the Chickasaw Mudpuppies (sic) were inspired by the same source material, I review performances and the Mudpuppies (sic) delivery of their material is highly derivative of the Chowder Shouters. I encouraged the Mudpuppies (sic) to listen to Folkways Records and suggested if they were going to rip off a music, then rip off an authentic music and not simply imitate their contemporar ies. I stand beside that. I sign my name to what I write and I’m fully willing to take the flak my opinions generate but I'm not about to take the speculative delusions of one of your writers. All My Hardness, David t. Lindsay Music Critic Creative Loafing Magazine P.S. My only joy in life is to impress the public and my fuck is more famous than m.m. Bumble. P.P.S. Blow me. mmbumblm rmpllmmi My dearest Mr. Lindsay, Let yours be the final words in the readers' memory, for they speak volumes on the character and intelligence of those involved. As for your postscripts, Halley's Comet is also more famous t. tan my self-imposed moniker, but it only comes once every 76 years. See you in the funny papers, melissa marie Bock mmBumble * Lowdown On The New Club low Down, an Athens Hard Rock band will make its debut appearance at the Exsirlence on Wednesday January 31.
