KEVIN Wood's review of The Boy Looked at Johnny (9 November) probably revealed more about him that it did about the book. He unfortunately took most of Julie Burchill's and Tony posturing in good faith, seemingly imagining them to be lone crusaders in the rock music press against privilege and discrimination This, however, is the same Tony Parsons who recentiv ietted to Amer. ica to interview Bruce Springsteen in a SvIC ucscuDaDe ony This is the same couple who introduce one character in the book as Mark Perry of Sniffin' Glue (what a girl), and who use the doubting of someone's masculinity as a snide insult. Hardly anti-sexist, is it?

The most important point about the book, which Kevin Wood totally missed, is that although it purports to be 'the obituary of rock and roll', it contalls no analysis whatsoever THE DEADLINE for this column miocay Saturday before DuDlcanon.
