Subject: Closing Ceremonies: RAD RACKET passes torch to Red Rocket-NY
Body: Greetings friends!

Some have questioned whether or not our class-action lawsuit/public brawl in Austin was in fact a true American experience, or an elaborate embellished hoax...and while, for our own sanity, we must not dwell on the antics of the past, all I can say is that those people definitely choose to employ logic and reason in their daily interactions.

In any case, we actually were approached not all that long ago by a teenage band in the Bronx called Red Rocket, who undoubtedly urged us to change our then-name of red rocket - the same that we shared we countless others spanning the globe from Australia to Ireland - because they were obviously hellbent on shattering the competition, and maximizing their future!

And while we've always defended our generic title roots, and immediately dismissed these youngsters as yet another bullshit RR hatin' on our non-bullshit ways... we couldn't help but admire that passion and youthful fire.

It reminded us of our own teenage happy days, when we were bullshit too, and we started this here band as a complete joke, and appropriately named ourselves as such:)

...So far be it from us to burst the bubble for them, or any other exuberant youths looking to giggle their way out of mediocrity! We've had all the laughs we need, and it really wasn't that funny either to tell the truth - it's kind of like giving your nephew the first season of MASH or something...

Nevertheless, we're not gonna go out of our way to change for anyone goddamnit. 2 vowels is all you get.

So many best wishes from all of us here at RAD RACKET to all the Red Rockets in he world, especially our passionate nubiles in the Bronx.

For the record, we are totally down for a participating in the idea of a conglomerate big band.. Maybe we could even set the record for the world's most mediocre supergroup, knocking off Audioslave!

See you in the prefuture, friends!
