To: Mark Mays
President, Clear Channel Incorporated
Dear Mark,
Two years I’ve been meaning to write to you but I always change
my mind at the last minute. The utter pointlessness of the effort
seems to assert itself rather strongly right at the moment when I’m
getting ready to type the salutation. It’s then that my internal
Voice of Reason pipes up, reminding me that there are several hands
through which a letter must pass before the head of a company is even
asked whether he wants to read said letter or not, and that these
hands belong to people who have to ask themselves a couple of simple
questions before they decide to move the letter on up the chain. Questions
like: “Does the president of the company that employs me want
to read this letter?” or “Will placing this letter on
the desk belonging to the president of the company that employs me
help my situation in any way?” or even “What’s the
likelihood that anyone ever says anything if I just run this God damned
letter through the shredder right fucking now?” And really:
who can blame the quietly hostile office employee for having a little
fun with such machines as are available to him? Not us, certainly.
