ATTN: Owners of the Peppermill Concert Hall, West Wendover, NV

I just heard your latest radio spot advertising upcoming performances. It sounds like a great line-up over the next couple months. I enjoy your smaller, more intimate venue and I’m grateful for the opportunity you give to older artists who can no longer fill the big arenas, but still love to perform for their fans.

However, I would like to mention that Rick Springfield does have male fans. No, really. Trust me on this point. Prefacing his segment of the ad with a voiceover saying, “Hey, ladies….” and suggesting that a Rick concert is a perfect girls’ night out — which it is, I won’t deny — is somewhat alienating to those of us who love his music but also sport that Y chromosome. Just something to consider…
