THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

Jamie, an old friend of mine said that "Your real talent is that things jump out at you that other people don't even notice."

In the article about us that you cite in the Village Voice -- which, by the way, contained far too few references to ME -- I note the following comment about YOU:

"Radio broadcasting is one of the many odd skills he (Kelso) has acquired over a lifetime of being on the fringe of society ..."

This was in the Village Voice, right? The one that brags it is BEYOND societal opinion, right? It's RADICAL, right?

But KELSO is put down because he has spent "a lifetime of being on the fringe of society."

That is a pretty blatant statement that jumps out at me and nobody else NOTICES, YOU have spent "a lifetime of being on the fringe of society."

Where has the Village Voice been all that time?

Certainly not, like you, "on the fringe of society."

No way. The Village Voice is an integral PART of today's society. Respectable conservatives constitute one group that gets paid for its standard and packaged (S&P) crap, and the Village Voice is another S&P wing.

Kelso, on the other hand, is "on the fringe of society." No one but me would NOTICE how strange it sounds for The Village Voice to condemn someone for being REALLY on the fringe of society, as opposed to their FAKE -- and lucrative -- version.

Jamie, the Village Voice has condemned you -- let me repeat it once more -- for "being on the fringe of society."

Is anybody CAPABLE of noticing the irony but me?
