Dearest miraminx,

[constance]

I got the article today! I loved it (and I think it's the most I've ever read about Big Star in one place ever), and you were splendid to send it to me, and! New album coming out this summer! I don't know whether to be excited or nervous, and so, predictably, I'm both.

Thank you, thank you!

Much love,

me

YES IT DOES. It sounds like something out of trainspotting. Like something Courtney Love would do, which is the most depraved comparison I can make.

Since he's from my neck of the woods, I've seen AC lots of times. And his performances can be really hit-and-miss (I've seen him walk onstage with a cheeseburger and fries, and things just deteriorated from there), but when he's on-form, he's terrific, and since he cleaned up, he's on-form a whole lot more.

I think you should write to Christ Stamey and suggest adding an Atlanta date. And I will do the same, and we will have achieved a bloc. Surely he will listen to us! And then I will not have to consider driving for six hours to see him.
