The intersection of art, entertainment, culture,
opinion and mad genius
Hi Thom,
I am sending this to you to let you know that I’m taking the magazine in a different direction and your work is no longer needed.
I wish you success in all your future endeavors.
Best,

Wow. Where did this come from? With no warning, out of nowhere, it seems. She decided to change the decor of the magazine. She said she was taking the magazine in a new direction but she was changing only one direction...the direction that pointed to me. And then she accidentally CC's the writer who would replace me. Now, I know this guy, this writer, this man about town. He publishes all over. He writes nearly 50 percent of ICON, at least two features an issue and a number of columns. And I know he was gunning for my column. He was gunning because he wants everything. He did it to me when we both wrote for Philadelphia Style years ago. AD comes in, and I go out. It has happened other times too. So, one can only assume that he and the publisher, whom I have always liked, plotted this for while. And then finally AD got his way. Trina, the publisher, never did tell me why she discontinued my column. Not a word. I wrote her several emails, asking, asking, but nothing. Nothing. After almost a decade of writing for her. It feels like a date rape of sorts. I've read AD's theater columns since my expulsion and they are like weak tea. They are more like previews of plays. He does not know how to review a play. He has no opinions. No soul, no critical pizazz. He is just a meat processor of words, words that sound and feel cool but that rarely say anything.
This post will be updated from time to time. We will follow AD's marriage to ICON and see how and when the story ends.
