We get a lot of email, some from publicists, some from loyal readers, and some from Melissa the stripper I jipped out of 900.00 bucks. But this email took the cake. I posted it in all its glory:

"Hey Blogs N' Roses,

JA"




My response was as follows:

"JA

We love the hardcore fans willing to spend time in school with a scalpel carving up their arms in honor of their favorite online music site. I used to sit in class and carve band names into the desk, but this goes beyond what I did in high school.

I first thought you might have a serious problem, but then I realized the cuts really aren't too deep. I figured that since the cuts don't run deep neither can your emotional scars.

I applaud your dedication and support. We will send you a BnR care package for your trouble. The care package will include Band-Aids, a couple of cds we have lying around, some Vegas Stripper cards, and some stickers.

Rock On
Craig

P.S. Don't screw up the spelling of Van Halen ever again or I will cut you myself!"
