Semantics, Some Antics I’m not particularly thick but I’m fucked if I can make head or tail out of half these reviews. In Russell Brown’s review of the Cure at Logan Campbell Centre he says of Robert Smith;“Half man, half cat, half milksop... the irony of the juxtaposition of his demeanour with the sonic assault of his band cant have been all accidental."??! Obviously a person (or computer?) who loves to confuse people by making up his own words. He probably doesn't understand them himself. I think he’s in the wrong profession, maybe he should have been a politician. Most of these reviewers at some time or another talk in riddles and come up with sentences half a page long without commas. I have just one more sentence to say: Why don't these obsolescent imconproctinators emotionalise their characteristic notions in a way in which amphetical carronading beings like us can myrtilisingly interpret them? Barry Crump Fan Glendowie Now hold on there what "prod" means and that's rude.Rß Epistle From Apostle As a child my parents trained me well I always say my pleases and thankyous. So thankyou for the mention in Oct RIU, but please, please, please spell it correctly. The name is Apostolic Industries, not Apolistic or any such bullshit. However, print this letter and well not only forgive you but well send you a copy of the soon-to-be recorded solo album-tape by Gamaunche’s Richard Wallis.
