Attention Merle H Thomas and the ‘I Hate Merle’ Fan Club:
Guess what? It is possible to like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I do. In fact, I like most music from Aerosmith to Zucchero, and everything in between, as long as it has a bit of beat and is not too light (ie. no Boyz II Men). It seems I’m destined to keep opening my copy of RipltUp to find several letters declaring their hate for someone or some band. It annoys me that people can’t keep their own small-minded opinions to themselves or their own group of cocksucking friends. I don’t want to know that The Amazing Clarence (not!) hates Silverchair’s guts, or that half of New Zealand’s teenage population hates Merle H Thomas’ guts. I’d rather go on
believing there are still some decent people out there, looking for the good new bands (like Silverchair, Pumpkinhead and Oasis), plus acknowledging the old greats of music (Metallica, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin). Fuzzy, Wellington. PS: Anyone remember Freddie Mercury, the last great singer in rock?
