Joe Offer 2006 Obit: Paul Nelson-Little Sandy Review editor (5) RE: Obit: Music writer Paul Nelson RIP (July 2006) 20 Jan 16


There's a very interesting article about the Little Sandy Review here:You won't believe the explanation of how this fabled folk fan magazine got its name:
    The somewhat oblique, convoluted connection between LSR and, in this case, larger, mass-pulp movie star and pop record fanzines actually begins with its very name. "In the late 50s," Pankake explains, "in lower level courses at the university, you would see these young co-eds sitting down in the front of the class – blond pony-tails, sweaters, gold circle pins – and they all carried current issues of fan magazines with black and white and color photos of their favorite stars, and a surprising number of these girls were named Sandy. We were starting a magazine about our own favorite music and our very own stars, so Paul and I decided to name it after all those little Sandys and call it The Little Sandy Review.
