Naked Mistakes

Patrick Goldstein’s indignation over the nude model in the Billy Joel ad (Pop Eye, Sept. 9) is surpassed only by the writer’s illiteracy. Did he really write, “But you can’t help but wonder--aren’t their (sic) any women in the music biz who think its (sic) tacky (and yes, sexist) to use female nudity to sell records?” I would suggest Mr. Goldstein take his sensitivity to a local junior high and learn some rudiments of English. The Times might like to have their proofreaders accompany him.
