Letter From Johnny Depp

My good friend Johnny Depp sent me a letter to congratulate me and Bigmun on the success of Rock Hard At The Hard Rock. He is currently in the studio working on the new Hollywood Vampires album, so I was very touched that he would take time out of his schedule to send this to me. The letter is hand written on preserved 18th century Italian parchment (Johnny collects). I thought I would take a moment to share it with you all:

"Ahoy Marc and John,

I hope this letter finds you both in good health and spirit. I think the last time we were all together was the Morticae premiere. Wasn't that a great film? I know John Bigmun said it was "too scary," but I think he still enjoyed himself.

I'm writing to congratulate you on the new album, Rock Hard At The Hard Rock. It really reminds me of what we're trying to do with the Vampires. Obviously, it's a commercial success, but more importantly, celebrities love it. Tim Burton, Naomi Cambell, Bruce Willis, and Jerry Bruckheimer are among your many famous admirers. Keith (Richards) says it's a classic, even in its abbreviated state. It's a tragedy that Hard Rock Cafe screwed you before you could finish it. I've had my own problems with them over the years. I donated a couple signed Gibson Les Paul's and they fucking lost them! It's like I always say: you can never trust whitey. 

My life these days has been "interesting" to say the least. I just put the finishing touches on my divorce. Glad that whole chapter of my life is behind me. Marriage number two. Que ridiculo! Oh well, no regrets. The town that I own in France is still on the market. I could really use an infusion of cash, so if you know anyone looking to buy an entire town - complete with its very own wine cave! - let me know. Running a band is expensive business, as I'm sure you are aware.

Also, the Cherokee Nation rejected my application for tribal membership. Something about the DNA test coming back negative for native blood. Are they fucking kidding?! Can't they tell I'm an Indian from my face and the way I talk!? Bullshit. 

Anyway, I have to get back to recording now. Alice, Joe and the rest of the Vampires send their regards. Alice has a new (*illegible, red wine spill*). It's vintage, one of a kind, so hopefully some of the fruitier members of the band don't get any ideas, haha. Let's do dinner and drinks the next time you're in LA. And maybe we can work out some kind of collaboration in the near future. A supergroup of supergroups, mayhaps? At the very least, a few tour dates together should be doable. As they say in the business, have your people call my people, haha.

In vino veritas,

Johnny"
