C orrection: Last w eek, w e incorrectly spelled the name of our cover girl — M artini M arti, the drag queen persona of artist Leroy Foster — in a caption. W e regret the error! M aybe w e had one too many martinis ourselves.
R eaders responded to last w eek’s cover story package about Pride month.
This is deep. Finally, an acknowledgment of Leroy Foster’s contributions. — @ slide91, Instagram
He did charcoal portraits at the Michigan State Fair in the early ’60s. My dad saw his talent and my brother, sister and I W e also received comments for Lee D eV ito’s story about the return of Creem, “A merica’s O nly R ock ‘n’ R oll M agazine.”
I wonder if the new C reem can have the edge that it once had given that the music is covered then was itself edgy and angry and full of energy. W hat passes for music today is pretty lame in my opinion and I can only hope the new C reem doesn’t end up being just as lame. Maybbe the old C reem was one of those once in a lifetime things. — R oger G ienapp, Facebook
