After Two Roky Covers and Two Major Features, Roky Deserves Better Press

Dear Editor,
    Re: Roky Erickson article [“Starry Eyes,” Music, Dec. 30]: I am displeased with the article's inaccuracies and failure to depict Roky as anything but an ice cream eatin', cartoon-watching buffoon. He deserved much better press; after all, he is a legend! I am also part of that so-called group on the Internet [Texas Psyche Group]. Ms. Moser should be ashamed, and she does know better. It is a journalist's honor to be as objective and as truthful as possible and always weigh the two sides. She sold out big time. We still maintain our loyalty to Roky and his music and do not profit from his name or music. As a matter of fact, even Sumner doesn't turn nearly as much of a profit from Roky's name and/or music as he should. I can only hope that Roky does stay well and continue to perform as long as he likes doing what he does, not because he has to.
