Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Elvis lives! (On Burkina Faso postage stamps) Mongolia and the X-Men. Chechnya and Groucho Marx. What were these stamp-pandering countries thinking?
  • Oh, puh-leeze!

    Not that old canard about Elvis "ripping off" forms of music that didn't "belong" to him or "his people." So everyone should only create art with an ethnically-correct seal of approval? Nobody should borrow or appropriate music, art or drama that originated with another "group?" I'll leave it to others to make the serious arguments against Mr. Leonard's flippancy. For me, a simple "Good Grief" will suffice.
