It's pronounced BOOB-lay

 

If you hate Michael Buble, you'll like this. If you hate me -- a club whose membership is thriving quite nicely these days -- you might also kind of like this. READ ON.

You want more hate mail? You got it.

 

Today's game of "Sean Sucks!" comes courtesy of Scot, who tells me where to go -- specifically, last night's Allman Brothers show. As for Kiss, well, he's apparently not a fan.

I’m an avid reader of the Times and believe it is by far the best paper in the state, maybe even the country.

With that said, I wanted to express my shock in reading your article in today’s paper about the Kiss concert. There is not one paragraph in today’s or yesterday’s paper about our local celebrity band playing their 40-year tour: one of the greatest bands of the past four decades and local boys to top that off.

The Allman Brothers Band.

I enjoy reading your articles even when I disagree with your critiques, but boy did you blow this one. Last night's ABB show has to be in the top 3 or 4 of all time and definitely the #1 ABB concert out of countless shows I’ve attended. Trucks and Haynes were pure all night with some of the wickedest licks you’ve heard in your life. Copies of the live CD are available. Maybe you can clean the BS makeup out of your damaged ears and listen to some real music.

You preferred watching a carnival act over one of the greatest bands of all time?

I think the winter months in Syracuse altered more than a few of your brain cells...
 

Hate Mail (sealed with a KISS)

 

Today's letter comes from a gentleman in Odessa, Fla. He wasn't a big fan of my interview with KISS. (READ) Oh well. At the very least, I really could use some divine mercy.

Mr. Daly:

It is shameful how music columnists such as yourself either naively or corruptly endorse the tired old act of knights in satan's service band.  It is hard to gauge the amount of corrupted children and adults left in the wake of these demons, and apparently, you are included. 

Yes, evil has been a force in many media outlets for many years, it is just so much easier in the form of dark rock and roll, which this vulgar group viciously displays.  How sad that you must promote this profane garbage to the readers of this paper.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Hate Mail! Chickenfoot review has loyal reader taking aim, action

Sean:

I have got to tell you: Your review today finally proved to me while I will be canceling my subscription after 27 years.

I am 55 years old, a successful businessman, who doesn't have a lot of time to listen to music on the radio or Internet. So it was of great interest to me when I opened the paper this morning and saw an almost half-page review of "Chickenfoot" whom I have not heard yet.

You are a music reviewer, right? So where is the review? How many songs? What type of tempos? No, you spend almost the entire article hammering the musicians. "It's hard to hate on a merry band of millionaires jamming just for the fun of it"? What has that got to do with the music? Anyways, good luck to you, Sean. I actually feel sorry for you to be under so much pressure from the paper to be negative.
