From the Editor's Desk...

An Electronic Conversation Between Edwin Decker, freelance journalist and the Editor,                                                    (formerly called an interview).

Edwin Decker is a freelance journalist/columnist who resides in San Diego California. His work appears regularly in magazines and newspapers such as San Diego City Beat, the San Diego Reader, SLAMM, The San Diego Union-Tribune as well as various other alternative weekly magazines around the country.

His column, which has been running for over five years, is called Sordid Tales of a Bartender in Heat. It appears weekly in City Beat Magazine, which is based in San Diego. Sordid Tales is about the comedy and tragedy of the bar and nightclub scene as told by a bartender (Decker) who has been slinging drinks for twelve years.

Ed, I see that you had the cover  interview with Tenacious D in SLAMM Magazine. Who is Tenacious D anyway?

Tenacious D. is a two-piece rock parody band. The members are Jack Black and Kyle Gas. Jack you might remember as the Belushian record store clerk in the Movie High Fidelity. Gas has been loitering around the music and comedy biz too.

Tenacious D. is a hilarious paradox. In concert they perform these epic, thundering hard rock songs with bombastic lyrics and howling vocals. But they play them on acoustic guitars. They are the antithesis of arena rock – two obnoxious fat guys on acoustic guitars rocking out as if they were playing the most important rock show in history.

They call themselves "The Greatest Rock Band on Earth."

Letters from the Edge

RE: May/June issue

I was just scrolling through the Cafe Kyoti poems from the workshop, realizing how particularly poignant it is to have had them up these past two months since the Writers Club will be closing on AOL end of June.  There will
only be these next two workshops and then I plan to hang up the host wrtr mar screen name.  I'll still likely meet with folks who want to on Sunday evenings but only in a private room.  An end of an era, truly, for the
Thursday night poetry workshop.

   Thanks again for hosting some of the voices from the WCPW (Writers Club Poetry Workshop). .

cheers,
~Mar  (Marianne Wade)

RE: June/ July issue

Just a note to say how much I like this issue of the Reader. Its layout and photographic art are exceptionally well done. Its content well selected. I'll be back.

I really enjoyed this month's issue, most notable - the poetry and your viewpoint of trains.

Best to you.

Sue Turner

Forgot to tell you--RMR looks great--love the pier photo on the home page. Whispers in the Wind was exceptional this month. Great work! Keep it up, big sister!

Pat Sommer

I happened to read some good poetry on your site...

I also liked your train travel journal and I was moved by your compassionate reflections on the death of the
jogger. . .
