After reading many of his pieces, I am convinced that Jason Cherkis: is a little embittered over being dumped by his past girlfriend (“Girly Town,” 8/8/97); hates it when our friends (musicians) become successful (“Kill Yr Idols,” 5/15); hasn’t masturbated nearly enough; and

may be perhaps the worst writer that City Paper has ever hired.

The bottom line: The kid just needs to get laid.
