Welcome to the very second issue of the...
DeanZine
Vol. 1 Issue 2. May, 2004
1. State of the Universe Report
Dean's reflections on what's going on on the planet
from the perspective of his own backyard
(which still desperately needs
mowing).
2. Your Two Cents - Letters to the Editor
Readers' chance to share their
opinions with everybody else on the
Deanlist, on virtually any conceivable topic from Dean's music to the
mating habits of the North Highland's hedgehog. Send your comments to editor@deanfriedman.com
This month: A rare unreleased track from Dean's
unreleased 1980 Nurd EP entitled
'Yo-Yo'. A genuine treat.
An mp3 download of a recorded track selected
from among Dean's collection of unreleased musical rarities and
re-discovered early recordings' Some stuff no one's ever heard. Some
stuff Dean doesn't even remember he wrote. Some works in progress. And
some stuff that's so embarrassing Dean won't even release it now! Well,
everything but that stuff.
This month we feature Hudson Valley
recording artist, Dan Pelletier, masterfully plying his musical trade right here
at the foot of the Catskills in New York. Check him out.
Check out this month's oh-so-cool, mind-bending cryptic crossword puzzle devised by my
pal, the wise and inscrutable, Matthew Lees, puzzle-miester, problem poser and
astute figure-it-outer. This month, Matt's cryptic crossword uses the songs and lyrics of my
second
album, 'Well, Well,' Said the Rocking Chair', as its theme. Extremely puzzling and genuine fun!

6. Ask Amelia
Puzzled? Befuddled? Perplexed? Ask Amelia. Even though she's not
much more than 12" tall, Amelia's still one of the smartest primates we know plus being the voracious reader that she is, she can pretty
much answer
any question you may have about any conceivable subject in the
universe.
Plumbing problems? Ask Amelia. Dating dilemas? That's
Amelia specialty.
Trouble filling out your tax forms? Amelia
can help. This is one astute monkey.
No question, no matter how complex, absurd or pointless, is beyond her
scope.
7. Guest Column
Once a month, this guest column will provide a forum for the rants and raves or well-reasoned arguments or simple domestic anecdotes of one of our readers. To contribute something to the Guest Column send it with the words: Guest Column Submission in the subject heading. Spelling and penmanship counts! NOTE: Because all of you were so shy about submitting stuff this first time around, instead, I've posted an interesting piece by the esteemed author, Kurt Vonnegut, that's been making the internet rounds. It makes some salient points about the current absurd state of political affairs.
