Letters To Rock Stars, Part V


Dear Justin Bieber,

Today I was attacked by a rabid thirteen-year-old girl who was screaming my name,

She caught me unaware so I had no choice but to defend myself by grabbing her by
her pigtails and giving her a quick and decisive Judo chop to the neck. Just as I was about
