Mull this
Response to Jef King's letter [April 30]: While you were sitting on your lazy, ever-expanding butt, whining and pointing fingers via the Internet, the Mullens were touring the USA and Canada. We played in cities like Chicago, Montreal, and New York City to audiences who knew our songs well enough to sing along the entire set. These were fans who wrote us, told us how much they like our album, and begged us to come play in their cities.

We're not trying to create a "buzz sound" for the '90's or any other moment. We love music too much. And while I sincerely appreciate your passion about music being original, I challenge you to name one song on our album (S/T debut on Get Hip) that even sounds like the Ramones.

Careful, Jef. All that sitting around playing on the Internet will get you nothing but a payment plan on a Nordic Trac. Life's too short. Get out and see the world.
