SUGAR 'RAY'

I'd like to thank David Browne for his positive review of Madonna's newest album, Ray of Light. In my opinion, this is her best artistic endeavor to date. In the past, I haven't always felt like Madonna has been treated fairly by the press or by the general public, for that matter. Everyone tends to get so wrapped up in her personal life that the value of her work is often overlooked. You can love her or hate her, admire her or despise her, but she's here to stay.

BAD PIT

Why the hell did you airbrush out my armpit hair ("The [Un]Common Cole," #419/420, Feb. 20/27)? Cowardly move. PAULA COLE North Hollywood, Calif.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Oops! We thought it was just a smudge...until we saw the Grammys. Here's the unaltered version of the hirsute Paula Cole.
