Hey Donna, Your Second Child review was the lamest piece I have ever read. Fuck you! Second Child are not a 'boys band". It is not a "male thing". You would never have made that statement had the previous bass player still been in the band, and the music has not changed that dramatically since her departure. So fuck off and listen to your beloved LA glam bands you loser. Who gives a fuck for the opinion of a 31 year old former MORE writer. Like my homeboy Harry Hard-On says "it's gettin' so that anyone over 20 doesn't know what's

going on". What the fuck does 'boss' mean anyway. "The 3 Ds were boss". Get a fucking life, that's an Amerikkkan term you shithead. If you're so fuckin' desperate to be down with the bands, why don't you fuck off to the US of A and take a step up — get hooked on H and be a groupie for an old people's band like Aerosmith. And as for the continual importance you place on band member's clothing, well it means nothin' but shit coming from a Stevie Nicks look-a-like. You make me sick. Eat a bag of shit you fucker, die painfully FUDD.G PS: I'm not in Second Child either, I jus' hate you! DY REPLIES: Honey, I know you're not in Second Child because those boys have a sense of humour! I wasn't aiming to pigeonhole Second Child in a gender group. The 'male'word was used precisely because of its cliched reverberations in this context, to suggest that Second Child have a sound that is hard edged, angular and other 'traditionally' male things. A sound that is, of course, pretty much the same as it was when Barbara played bass in the band.
