I am writing in response to Dallas Smoke’s letter to the editor (“Paper reviews unpopular music,” SN 11/28). Smoke claims The State News is doing a disservice to him and other pop music fans by not having a review of the Backstreet Boys’ new album, “Black & Blue” in the Nov.

I would like to voice my displeasure with the CDs that the MS&U section chose to review Wednesday (“‘Grinch’ updates classic,” “Manson stresses music over shock” and “Blink-182 brings back punk with live album,” SN 11/22). Choosing not to review the Backstreet Boys’ newest CD, “Black & Blue,” is not only unprofessional, but also an insult to pop music fans everywhere.

Vegetarians deal with turkeys in their family, dinner
Is Thanksgiving still Thanksgiving without the turkey? Trust me, it is. My turkey-free diet is always a source of fascination, but is under even more scrupulous examination during the holidays, when I am the only one without a piece of the roast beast on my dinner plate.
