Dear Phish, Trey’s got two bands now. Please come back before the situation gets graver. Take care, BB * * * Dear Bruce Campbell, Sorry about your movie career. I heard you wrote an autobiography - who would have guessed you were literate? I figured you mostly just knew how to pull the lever to get another banana. This is supposed to be a letter to a band. So if you see Björk, would you tell her that it’s exciting just to exist at the same time as her? If the new baby is a girl I hope she is a tiny spark ice princess. Cheers, BB ---

I decided to send a telegram instead: Dear Linkin Park, You Suck! Stop. No, really, Stop. Stop. and now for a letter: Dear “Other Members” of No Doubt, You would be NOWHERE without the blond! The sooner you realize this and deal with it, the better! Invest your money wisely, for it will be a long, rough road ahead. and now, a thank-you card: Dear Dixie Chicks, Thanks for the incredable night! 😃 * * * She said she loved me like a brother. Thats great, cause she’s from Mississippi! ---

Dear Mr. Rose, Whatever happened between you guys, please call Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Steven (or at least Matt) and apologize. Even if it wasn’t your fault - be the bigger man. The one song I’ve heard from your new, so-called Guns N’ Roses sucked, and was totally _not_ what you sounded like with the original band. If you ever want to see your career again, I would highly recommend it. Your Fan, Dirty Earthworm * * * Dear Anthony, Flea, et. al. Will you put on some damn pants, please?? Sincerely, Dirty ---

Dear Wesley Willis, You are completely insane. Get help, \*\* NOW! \*\* That will be all. P.S. - Just for the record, you did not kick batman or superman’s ass. P.P.S.- A headbutt is not an autograph. * * * Dear Creed, I know God sent you here for the sole purpose of annoying me every time I turn on the radio, but if you would go away, I promise I will go to church every Sunday, and Wednesday. Otherwise, … well, let’s not go there. Thanks in advance! ---

Dear Mr. Mann: _I_put the bomp in the bomp-ba-bomp-ba-bomp. My cousin Bernard put the ram in the ram-a-lama-ding-dong. Our cooperative efforts stemmed for years of controlled experiments and one night of binge drinking. To date, we have stopped 14,365 known cases of backup singers uttering ba-ba-ba and ding-dong over pithy fifties rock lyrics. As far as the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop and the dip-de-dip-de-dip are concerned, we have no official comment on the subject, but have expressed doubt as to the veracity of recent intellectual property rights claims made by the family of one Mr. Lymon. We must remind you that we cannot be held responsible for any long-term emotional commitments you have made stemming from hormonal reaction to our syllabic profundity. Sincerely, M.Jackson ---
