BRIDGET'S MOTHER REPLIES
Having spent two dollars on your mag, I thought I had better reply to one of the letters you printed in the March edition. It concerns one Bridget Sherlihy (my, what an unusual name!) of Wanganui, and her outward opinions on the Rage Against the Machine concert — or rather, the lack of it. Yeah, sure, it was a real bummer the dudes had a change of plan, and it was a last minute thing. But we all know how last minute and finicky these alternative stars can be. After all, surely if you are truly ‘alternative’ in your lifestyle (or just trying to be), you would just shrug your shoulders and get on with life. Oh, another point to bring up is the way Bridget refers to the Big Day Out. I know from a reliable source that Bridget has never attended this so-called ‘trendy fashion fest’. So, how can she possibly know what she is talking about? But, then again, it is easy to criticise from afar (says me!). And one last thing, since I’m on a roll: I’m not very impressed with her eloquent
use of the F word. Is it really necessary? I’ve heard (I have my ear to the ground) she is studying English at university! Surely she could have thought of a better way to put this.
Maggie L, Wanganui.
