DINOSAUR BONES

I love this.

I was reading through the April 1982 issue of Trouser Press (and no, this story does not get any less geektacular as it goes along, so strap yourself in), and I came across the following letter to the editor:

Trouser Press puts "let it rock" on its cover,
but never has and never will "let it rock"
because it refuses to recognize where real
rock is coming from. TP is not new, hardly
ever features new bands and, to put it
bluntly, sucks.

Lou Barlow
Westfield, MA

The existence of this letter authored by 15-year-old Lou is probably common knowledge among the Dinosaur Jr/Sebadoh cognescenti, but I feel like Howard Carter when I unearth nuggets like this...
