A few weeks back [Hitsville, December 16] Wyman, the record critic, wrote of “a Liz Phair” whose LP was being bungled by burping record executives. The mismanagement was so bad that the LP was in danger of falling off the Billboard charts, undoubtedly giving it less longevity than the putrid Voodoo Lounge or Division Bell LPs. After reading Wyman, the record critic’s, article I felt nothing but anger towards the record company, Billboard, and the nation for not buying this album. Wyman, the record critic, painted quite a bleak picture for this struggling Liz Phair.
I think my confusion is just. How could the poor waif that Wyman, the record critic, wrote of be the same as this mega pop star? It just can’t be! Unless the Reader can produce this second trampled underfoot Liz Phair, I think the Reader should then put Wyman where he belongs. Section four with all the other comic strips. Maybe get Heather McAdams to illustrate his articles. It could only be a plus.
