They're everywoman - it's all in them!

REPLY TO SARAH, EASTLEIGH
So you reckon Bjork screeches like a dying crow, do you?
Well, as a matter of fact, she has a refreshingly different voice which is very good to listen to. She adds variety and enjoyment to music.
So next time you decide to slag off an artist, think about what it would be like if all music sounded the same.
A Violently Happy Person, Cumbria
Good point.
DEAR 'ZINE
So, Mighty Lord Blackadder and Fresh Prince! You have engaged each other in battle! Well, roll the drums for a third competitor in this mighty contest!
I will shake the foundations of the 'Zine and conquer it as mine! I will make you both scapegoats for the White Line Warrior and rabbit on about how weak you both are. No matter how silly my pseudonym, I will reduce you to the ground and chuckle in your faces.
King of the Potato People, Notts
We can't wait!!!
DEAR 'ZINE,
I'm complaining about the so-called Essex person who said Take That were as talented as a dead slug. How dare you?!
You might not like them, but what gives you the right to slag them off? Their fans are not screaming little girlies - I'm nearly 21, so please don't call me a girlie.
Why don't you stop slagging them off and grow up?
Take That Lover, N Yorks
YAY! Obligatory TT defence letter!
DID YOU SEE TT ON TOTP ON THURS?
DEAR MOONCHILD
I know what you mean. I too am an "individual". People have a go at me for being too "quiet" at school just because I'm shy.
It really makes me angry when I see people writing in to the 'Zine telling others to "get a life".
They've no idea how much that can hurt. Why can't they just live and let live?
Insignificant Other
Ohh. Buck up, little camper!
DEAR 'ZINE,
So, the Fresh Prince of Luton wants a challenge does he? Well, he's got one - from me!
To all those anti-Lutonians out there I say join with me and overthrow this pretentious fool.
You now have a leader who knows what he's talking about.
Your time's up Freshy - start running!
Horny the Hornet, Vicarage Rd
Oooh! Another contender!
