Pick Hit
Cuatro, the band's fourth album, finally places Flotsam in the big leagues.
It's a brilliant album that flows from the beautifully melodic,
to the darkly mysterious to the bluntly savage. Powerful stuff.

falling in a mud
puddle and having the
goo form a crust on
your clothes. As for
Spandex, I don't think
so. I wear comfy Vans,
baggy cut-offs and old skate tees. It
works for me. I always thought you
should know people before you
judge them. Jocks picked on me for
being different, so I assumed all
were jerks. Later, I found some foot-
ball players who weren't like the
rest. I felt dumb for prejudging a
group by a few.
RED DEVIL

I like the color maroon. All my
clothes are maroon: shirts, shoes,
pants, shorts, socks, hat and one
pair of maroon boxers. But the
obsession doesn't stop here.
Several things in my room are
maroon: a tie-dye banner, dresser,
sheets, hat rack and window sills.
You would think my life complete,
but alas, it is not. My entire skate-
board doesn't have a shred of
maroon on it. My parents won't let
me dye my hair maroon or get an
earring. My cat isn't maroon, my
house isn't maroon, the sky isn't
maroon, the grass isn't... Ah, par-
don me. You see, I wrote this letter
in foolish hopes that my dear friend
T-ed would print the next Mail Drop
section with a maroon background.
Thrasher won't be complete other-
wise. I couldn't find a maroon crayon
or colored pencil to write this letter
with. Sorry.

ADD VICE
Racism a skater's view: Anger
triggers violence, it is our world's
biggest fault. No racist in this world
could ever say they are truly happy
with themselves. After all, they
always live in anger, hate and fear.
What if anger triggered knowledge?
What if anger and hate triggered
love and accomplishments? Self-
happiness wouldn't be far away if
we all thought for ourselves. Inside
ourselves we hold the ability to con-
trol and decide what we see and

hear. But then, for some
strange reason, we let oth-
ers decide for us. It overrides
your views, it makes you weak. Now
we have weak politicians and weak
peers making our weak decisions.
Let's admit our differences, admit
we, as humans, can be wrong.
Advice to ignorant people of all
kinds: you're hurting others by hurt-
ing yourselves. Open your mind, you
may be surprised.

PRETTY VACANT
It is with deepest concern for the
youth of America that I am request-
ing that my son, Shawn Harrington,
be removed from your mailing list.
This magazine was sent to him as a
gift, and until last night, I did not
know what filth was in my home. It is
bad enough for our teenagers to
watch TV without it being put in front
of their faces to be read. I cover
every mind that reads your maga-
zine with the blood of Jesus and
claim their souls for God. Do you
realize that we have a generation of
teens on their way to a devil's hell
because of your magazine? Ap-
parently not! And furthermore, you
don't care. Please remove my son's
name from your list.

HOMO-PHONE
This letter is to that poser in the
October issue of Thrasher who said
that God was a faggot and dared
say that he was a Satanist. First of
all, God said that being a homo is
an abomination. Second of all,
you're not a satanist. If you were,
you would have known that Satani
himself is a faggot. You ask how I
know this? In Revelations, it reads
that the Antichrist will be gay. And
some Satanic rituals are centered
around homosexual acts. I have a
front row seat at the White Throne
Judgement.
