Godsmack rocks your lame ass

Mr. Roger Friedman is sorely misguided. I think I'll point it out.

In his article considering the entertainment releases for the week Mr. Friedman focused on the current 'failure' that is Ms. Presley's album. What of the number one album? I quote:

"Don't ask. A group called Godsmack, which, if you're lucky, you will never have to hear."

Bad move bub. Below is my email to the editor with some read-between-the-lines comments.

I hope you'll forward the following to Mr. Friedman.
                                                                                
Roger,
                                                                                
Godsmack rocks your lame ass.
                                                                                
After their 1998 tour of the country in their beat-up, shit-box car
Godsmack's self titled album scorched the charts and frightened and
aroused millions with it's cover and lyrics.
                                                                                
Godsmack has sold more than 4 million copies. Follow on works have been
nominated for three Grammys. Godsmack's rabid fans routinely queue up
after attending concerts en masse to have all manner of things signed.

[After their 1998 Locobazooca performance the girl in front of me got her tits signed. I, of course, had the band members sign my CD insert.]

Godsmack's latest, Faceless, is currently dominating the charts. It
seems millions of people realy dig their music.
                                                                                
Their success has been largely supported by their tight, hard, and
energetic performances that leave concert goers begging for more and
booing the following acts.

[It's true, I was there.]

So Mr. Friedman, who hit number one this week? It maybe that you have no
appreciation for their music, or perhaps your naive ears cannot bear the
lyrics. I wonder if you'll go the way of Kmart.

[Kmart pulled Godsmack's self titled album from their shelves because of the lyrics. In doing so they missed out on their share of millions in sales. It's boneheaded decisions like this that are leading to their demise.]

Sincerely.
