Good Mailbox Week

In the same week that Entertainment Weekly gives a rave shout out to Rick Springsfield's reissue of Working Class Dog (they did this a few years ago with a Guilty Pleasure issue), the August Spin has a surprisingly respectful article on why Hall & Oates, America and even Bread are winning over new bands and fans. It's actually easy. The latter 3 made great singles and Springfield's is a power-pop gem. But let's not alert the Rock Crit elite who would laugh at us for our good taste. Oh and Spin now has Chuck Eddy doing some reviews. Maybe the magazine can survive after all.
