I'm responding to the article
Petrified Rock in the April 1992
issue. What in the heck is going
on? Is Thrasher losing it? I admired
everything else in that issue except
the cock rock article: Couldn't you
do an article about some big city
underground cool punk band
instead of this Van Halen, Aero-
smith, etc. shit? By the way, I loved
the "Celebrity Raw Meat article.
but the "Petrified Rock" one made
me want to puke!
