I am writing to you because I would like to take issue with Nick Smith’s review of The White Stripe’s new album, Elephant. I am not criticizing him because of his poor review. Everyone has their own tastes. My problem has to do with the fact that in his rather harsh critique he made a few important and obvious errors. First off, there is no song called “I Want to Be Your Boyu.” The song is called “I Want to Be the Boy to Win Your Mother’s Heart.” Secondly, that song sounds nothing like “Dead Leaves on a Dirty Ground.” There is one song on that album that uses the same chord structure as “Dead Leaves,” but it’s called “There’s No Home for You Here Girl.” I think it really makes him look quite unprofessional. I mean, how hard could it be to check and make sure you got the titles right?

Sincerely,

Jonathan Pidock
