I Serve Larry's Stick
I love Martha, I really do. And I love her even more after discovering a 1983 Readers’ Poll from Creem magazine that she never mailed in. I have this big stack of older magazines from Martha: Creem, Rolling Stone, Musician, Record Review. All issues that well, being born in 1980, I never had the chance to read. A lot of them contain articles on some of my favorite bands and musicians from “back in the day”. But somehow when I first thumbed through the issues of Creem, I must have missed this readers poll. Are therein lie a few more reasons why I love Martha:
