An Open Letter To The Robin Hood Dell Music Center

Sup? Listen, I know y’all tucked away off Philly’s beaten path and all, but that doesn’t give you any right to insult the New Edition legacy — namely that of founding member Michael Bivins — by spelling the “Biv” of Bell Biv Devoe as “Bov.”

An apology, you owe us all. Because, quite frankly, Bell Biv Devoe rule(s).

And, consider yourselves lucky I didn’t stick around on Ridge Avenue long enough to chronicle the way you spelled “coming soon” as “comning soon.”

Respect grammar and spelling and treat Michael Bivins, Bel Biv Devoe, New Edition, Candy Girl and Poison with the reverence warranted.

Hell, respect yourselves.

Thank you.
