COURIER HOOKED ON SEX AND DRUGS

To the editor:

I believe that Mr. Potvin may have been sunning himself on the warm
beaches of Pearl Harbor while indulging in mind-altering substances
when he wrote "Bureaucrats forget weed's influence on art world" (Feb.
20). Potvin states that marijuana is "the clearly harmless substance."
He then equates our cultural renaissance with, "If pot wasn't
available and smokeable out of the back door, it's doubtful there
would be any musicians to play any neighbourhood venue in the city."

In Michael Kissinger's interview (10 Questions, a thinly disguised
version of the New York Times Magazine's Questions) with Kate
Hammett-Vaughan he reveals to Courier readers that Cindy Lauper's
second single, '"She Bop" was a thinly veiled ode to female
masturbation." And I won't go to the Potvin territory on how all those
Be-pop (should have been Be-Bop) musicians flourished on heroin.

If this "journalism" continues I may have to buy a couple of budgies
and a cage. The Vancouver Courier will come in handy. Unless, of
course, we get to read more on flying saucer sightings by Geoff Olson.
