Bad Boys

bad boys

Dear Live from Las Vegas,

First off I would like to say that I am a huge fan. I fill two seats on the train. The jibes, the jokes, the gags and the scoffs - I love it all. Every week my girlfriend and I -I'll make up a name for her later- tune in to the show. I particularly like it when the stupid one says something silly and then the clever one says something smart. Why even now I'm sore with the pains of laughter. I mean a potato baby? You can't write that stuff. Unfortunately though I was very upset by the latest show, "bad boys". I am aware of the local trends and the happenings of young people, I know they like controversy, I know they all like to wear diaphragms, I know they use PCP, I know they stab they're best friends, I know they drink purple drank, I know they take crystal meth at parties and eat their girlfriends in a hallucinogenic rage, I know they all dodge tax, I know they swear, I know because I did it too when I was young. We all did. But what bothers me is you didn't know the name of the girl group that sang with Bob Marley on his later recordings. Some things are risqué but that is just cruel. Also next week can you have a show about being good, like me?

Yours hungrily, John Cale
