Hi Barbara. Well, I like Pavement, but I suppose I'm somewhere in between
on this big, hot issue of your perceived dis by Mr. Malkmus. So if I'm
in between, why am I even taking the time to write? Fair question. More
than anything, I just finished a frighteningly big paper for my Torts class
(yeah, every bit as scintillating as it sounds) and I want to think about slightly
less grave things now. So let me say that I bet SM was not in the best
mood while responding to whatever you asked him. (Incidentally, what DID
you ask him?) At the same time, even if he was, well... perhaps
it's better not to invest much of yourself in what your favorite rock personalities
think of you. So take heart. Divorce yourself from the notion of
ever communicating with music types on a meaningful level, but go fetch your
Pavement collection (yes, the "Steven Malkmus smokeless ashtray" too) from the
garbage. Oh, but Elaine is a little off course when she says "NOBODY DISRESPECTS
PAVEMENT" or whatever. They're the best, in my opinion, but will somebody
tell me again why they're somehow exempt from all scrutiny? That's what
makes this country so great, or so they tell me.
Yours,
Amy
