Dear Deek,
I am writing this letter in order to speak to everyone who voted to re-elect President Bush. After an election where youth voters were in the spotlight, where pressing issues were dividing the country, and where taking action seemed the least all of us could do, the American people have spoken. With incredible voter turnout, the absence of voter fraud, and the victor claiming both the popular vote and the electoral college, one can only look at this outcome as what the people wanted. Instead of being swayed by pedestrian topics like our increasing isolation in the global community, horrendous atrocities commited against the environment, warmongering, outright lying, and blatant disregard for human well-being, the American people stood up and said, with resounding triumph, “…uh, sure.” So, I thank you America. I thank you for being so fucking dumb.
Signed,

I love that damn magazine of yours. Seriously, not to gush, but never has a cynical bastard like me enjoyed a Pittsburgh rag before. Someday, when I feel inspired to write again, I hope to contribute.

Dear Deek:
Rock and Roll is ... American by ideaologies. Not to say that other cultures can’t jump in on the train, many have. But without American attitudes and freedoms, it would never have stood as long as it has and became that universal American language. Almost every human being in this country from babies to elderly will give a head groove or an ass wag to rock and roll. Think about how every genre is so contraversial when it first comes out, all the old heads disapprove of styles and word choice, but within the years it becomes accepted and more understood. It’s the spirit of ideas.

Dear Deek:
I think it’d be funny if one person walked around in a shirt, tie, blazer, boxers, dress socks, and dress shoes and walked around with a petition and pen. The hilarious fat kid, chain smoking and yelling at people why Starbucks is so fantastic. Strippers. You serving vodka shots instead of espresso shots. Maybe having Family Ties coninously playing on a television? Haha.

Dear Deek:
I personally welcome the coming fascist era. Now America will be able to exert Her dominance, Her ascendancy, without the need for subterfuge. Noam Chomsky will weep and gnash his teeth. No longer will black be the color of artists, homos, and New Yorkers: Black is the color of the New American Revolution! Ten million pairs of boots, the thunder of ten million soldiers; one people, one nation, one leader!
Delightedly yours,
– Marcello Della Bestia

I’m used to surprises at deek, my girlfriend’s sister was the full page spread in the self destruct issue and I had no idea until I got it. I was like, “hey I know that girl”
Thanks,

Dear Deek:
For some reason stacks of Deek have made it all the way to Indiana, PA, and I was pleasantly surprised to see local boys making good. I had never heard of Deek, or that Pgh had any sort of independent/guerilla media at all.

Rock N’ Roll never really existed in the first place, it is a marketing ploy carefully built up on Elvis Presley’s hip’s. The farce carries on today, no one realizes it’s all bullshit. What is rock’n roll, for lack of a better term, is a fleeting entity encapsulated in brief shining moments that burn on in memory (ie where you were the first time you heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, what you felt the first time you heard “Sister Ray”, “God Only Know” or A Love Supreme amongst other varied things).
Or something to that effect.
Later

Dear Deek:
[From Toronto. The election said this to me]:
It ma[de] me realize that our country is so peaceful and boring, simply by the type of headlines that make it on our national newspapers. And no matter how fucked up things are over here, politically speaking, they pale in comparison to the circus down south.

Dear Deek:
Just so long as your perve doesn’t physically touch me on the outside. I’d hate to have to cut someone. See you on the third!

Mr. Edwards:
Aside from the fact that it’s difficult for anyone attending school full-time, young or old, to get enough perspective (about a city they’ve never lived in before) to for to vote intelligently about local issues immediately after moving here, how are the “Young People” to blame for decisions made by politicians voted in by “Old People” before they even moved here?
Also, it’s not punk to call me an asshole.
