The Mega-Zine Museum
April 25, 1997
SLOWHAND says Crispianity is a religion based on wearing stripy trousers. I'm glad you told me that. I wondered why you looked like a zebra.
THE WANNABE wants to believe that there's a lot to be said for lying in bed all day. Of course there is, you lazy old so-and-so. And I've got many other names I could call you.
SHAKE-AH & THE VAMPIRES are willing to help terminate The Anti-Glum League. They've got facial grimaces made of stone. What a happy bunch they are!
DEAR 'ZINE
I'll not keep you long. I just want to say that if the Monster Raving Loony Party gets in at the election, they will turn Britain's currency into oranges, valued according to size.
Despite the minor problems it would create (pocket change and what shape would wallets be), it's a groovy idea.
Monetary union? No thanks, mate, we've got oranges.
Mental Mary & The Lapdogs
Does this mean I can't sell my soul
FOR 30 PIECES OF SILVER ANYMORE?!
DEAR 'ZINESTERS
Why restrict covers to Boyzone? All bands should be legally required to cover wildly inappropriate songs.
Yes, I can see it now - Mariah Carey doing Firestarter and Robert Miles doing Champagne Supernova. Best of all, they would actually sound really good.
But Therapy covering Underwater Love? What do you think?
Psychopath With Perfect Teeth
A tad soggy that wet love. Then again
MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE SUCH A DRIP!
OI, WLW
I read 'Zine the other day and went "sigh - why, oh why?" In fact, this has been my reaction for a while.
I despair. Why is everyone so critical, full of complaints and very defensive? Who cares who likes what music and eats what food? It's all boring gossip.
Get Mega back to what it used to be - funny, entertaining, optimistic. Even love letters and Top 10s were better.
Myopic Melon
Seeing as you mention complaints
YOURS SOUNDS VERY LONG-WINDED!
DEAR 'ZINE
While listening to a certain Inspiral Carpets song I noticed the line "this is how it feels to be small". I thought "yes, finally someone understands". But, no, they're tall, just like the rest of 'em.
Alanis Morissette says "I'm short and healthy". What's that supposed to mean?
There's even a film called "Get Shorty". Just imagine tall people shouting this while running after someone small.
Anarchic Senseless Kid
How's the weather down there?
LOOKS HOT AND BOTHERED FROM UP HERE!
