PARTON-ROGERS SHOW REVIEW RUDE

I FOUND most of Mark Morrison's April 13 story on Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers very rude and filled with his own personal feelings of the two singing superstars. He didn't even bother reviewing the concert.

Next time, please find someone who can write a story minus personal opinions. When two stars such as Kenny and Dolly put on a show, it deserves front-page Extra-section coverage. Being a writer on a high-school newspaper (Franklin County), I know that fans like to see reviews of concerts, and even those who don't attend like to read about the show. WAYNE MITCHELL HARDY

Editor's note: A reviewer was assigned to the Parton-Rogers show but was unable to attend because of illness.
