My First Band Got a Shitty Review

I was going through some photo albums and I came across this letter that was published in the Mount Mercy College newspaper The Minstrel
|
Dear Editor,
The last issue of The Minstrel included a review of Standing Room Only, the talent show held during interim. As MC of the show and vice president of the Drama Club, I appreciate the recognition given to our first production of what will hopefully become an annual event. However, I was disappointed that your comments about the band Prophecy did not include reference to the one member who is a student here at MMC. Paul Hanson's talent was evident as he entertained us all on the drums; his energized solo received an enthusiastic response from the audience. I was sorry that this was seemingly overlooked in your article.
Thank you again for your critical comments. Hopefully, practice will make perfect, and the show will get better every year.

I still get a kick out of that letter.
The review in question states this:

Prophesy was up next. I really don't have anything good to say about them, so I'll keep my comments to a minimum. The music was too loud. I couldn't distinguish what was being sung. That may have been for the better because the singer had a tough time at what he was trying to sing. Prophesy brings new meaning to the word "garage band."
