Entertainment Weekly published my letter about Prince!

Hey fellow fams...

Just wanted to express my unabridled geeked-out fanboy excitement over the fact that "Entertainment Weekly" has prominantly published the letter I emailed to them praising them for putting Prince on their recent cover.

They not only printed the letter, they highlighted a quote from it with my name in bold right underneath--right next to P's face!

Anyhow, just wanted to say hi to you all, and hope my expressed enthusiasm for Prince in the EW letter crystalized enthusiastic fams everywhere...

By the way, my name's Mark. I'm a freelance artist from the Boston area...

It's in the new EW with Brad Pitt on the cover...

Here's what I wrote:

"I nearly fell down when I saw Prince on your cover. I've waited 10 years for mainstream media to show him the respect he deserves. By spotlighting Prince's genius so prominently when you could've easily cashed in with some no-talent flavor of the moment on your cover, you've proven you not only have outstanding taste and intelligence--you have soul."

hope my words spoke for ya'll...

Yeah this is great considering the fact that they totally dissed P by not acknowledging him on the list of greatest guitar players and had him at #28 on the immortal artist list. Nevertheless, I am thrilled that they are recognizing him after all this time...much better than the Olson Twins!

Your geeked out fanboy ass did us up right....you definitely spoke for me. If you haven't already, buy like 387 copies of that magazine. Fucking frame it, give it out to potential mates, tattoo a copy on your forehead... wink

That's WAY cool that they published your letter man. Way, way cool. Way to do The Work!
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

I just read your comments in EW. I agree with you 100%. I tell you what I tried to email the fool that said something about he didn't like P's attitude because P wouldn't say he is making a comeback, but the email didn't go through. Maybe that's a good thing because I had somethin' to tell him.
