How come you always wear that funny wool hat? Do you have a rash from it?

Jenelle Hester
Daytona Beach, Fla.

DEAR JENELLE: Hardly! And say, you must be watching the summer reruns, because actually I haven’t worn that hat for a couple months now.

Best always, Mike


To the Jefferson Airplane:

How did you arrive at the name Jefferson Airplane for your group?

Kathy Nolan
New Orleans, La.

DEAR KATHY: Well, we took the last name of the first president of the U.S., then added THAT to the last name of what Henry Ford first made that lasted, then… Not really, luv! It just happened that way!

Yours Truly, the Jefferson Airplane


To Mark Lindsay:

Are you really haunted NOT by the girls you know, but by all the girls you don’t know?

Abie Pierce
Nashville, Tenn.

DEAR ABIE: It’s true, luv! I want so much to meet ALL the wonderful girls in the world, and I know I’ll never be able to!

Best, Mark

Sitarnly Yours, George


To the Monkees:

Is it true that your TV series is copied from the Beatles?

Jane Windsor,

DEAR JANE: Speaking for the Monkeys [sic] I can say definitely not! If they take after anybody, it would probably be the Marx Brothers! They were the beginning of zany, no-plot comedy!

Ginger


To Twiggy:

Is it a fact that you can get into your T-shirt from either end?

Bill Epley,

DEAR BILL: You surely jest! But I will say my pyjammas have only one stripe!

Cherrio, Twiggy

I loved your movie, Good Times. Will you be making another?

Yours, Sonny and Cher


To Ringo Starr:

Are you REALLY for REAL?

Bobbi Goddard,
Salt Lake City, Utah.

DEAR BOBBI: Well, I dunno! I mean my mum always asked that too!

Probably yours, Ringo


To Paul Revere:

Why do you keep getting rif [sic] of groovy Raider after groovy Raider?

Pauline Nestley
Montgomery, Ala.

DEAR PAULINE: The truth is, I don’t! All the ex-Raiders are still my friends. It’s just that they wanted to try going it alone for a while!

Paul
