PERPLEXED
DEAR EDITOR:
Brendan Mullen's 10 Musical Things [December 31January 6] was perplexing. He admits the WTO riots in Seattle were idiotic, but still "music to my ears." Whatever. What he meant under the title "Columbine," I don't know. It was a run-on sentence that didn't make any sense. Moreover, what went on at Columbine High School was a massacre and in no way musical. At number 10, he lists "Woodstock '99: The Payback." He goes on to write a bunch of fragments and ends with "the sound of crackling flames and the carping squeal of overturned RVs." Music, indeed. I wonder if he found the sound of girls getting raped just as enjoyable.

2000 YUKS? NOT HARDLY
DEAR EDITOR:
Um . . . call me crazy, but shouldn't "Millennium Funnies" [December 31January 6] actually have been, oh, I don't know . . . funny?
--R. Hernandez
DEAR EDITOR:
So that's the new "humor." There were here and there some pungent social points among the spaghetti mush but, sad to say, little drawing talent. And where talent did show a bit, almost total lack of content. Furthermore, can any of these "artists" even understand the old saying "Brevity is the soul of wit"?
