I just discovered I was attacked by John Conquest in the March issue of his monthly bird cage liner, 3rd Coast Music. Getting a late jump into the fray that was caused by my Mandy Mercier review, he’s thrilled to call me a “wanker.” Typical of Conquest’s nonsense, he even complains about a positive David Rodriguez review that ran in December. As far as I can tell, it wasn’t favorable enough. Then he runs the full attack quote that Freddie Krc came up with
after the Mercier review about what I imagine myself to be, which was semifunny, only if you knew that I’ve never had any aspirations of being a musician or a songwriter. In reality, a concept Conquest has never been familiar with, the only things I can imagine today are that Conquest’s brain is flea-sized, that Krc will take the hint and buy a vowel, and that maybe some day Mercier will make some music worth hearing.
