Why do you people always put ur name as clay when you are not you just wish u could be him. I am a big fan of Clay and I dont mind your name but I have a problem when you start thinking and telling people you are clay walker a.k.a. country singer

To Whom it May Concern,

I am Ken Mosher, of the super famous swing band, the Squirrel Nut Zippers. I am writing on behalf of my friend Clay Walker, who's website has been the recipient of your complaints.

Clay Walker is a famous cinematographer and director. He is not the OTHER famous Clay Walker, the country musician, but his works with Metallica, Van Halen, us, and of course Cindy Crawford are equally meritous in their own right. Each week, he picks a whiny letter from country star Clay Walker's fan letters, like yours, and forwards it to one of his multi-million dollar clients for support. You are this weeks winner.

I ask that you reconsider your letter, and your accusations toward my friend, Mr. Walker. I can empathise with Mr. Walker; his day to day life, and his business, are reliant upon timely receipt of his legitimate e-mails. Because it is such an incredible task, rumaging through lonely note after note, like yours, looking for his e-mails among the Country Star Clay Walker's fan letters, I am helping support him by responding to your letter.

If anyone should be ashamed, it is you. For you project your own selfish order on this world, expecting that perhaps every Clay Walker in the county change his/her name, in order to suit you and your needs. Can you imagine? I personally know 6 different Michael Richards. The most famous Michael Richards played Kramer on the hit show "Seinfeld." But if all the other Michael Richards had to change their names, we'd run out of names, wouldn't we? Maybe they could change their names to Clay Walker... oh, I guess not.

In closing, I want to assure you that Clay Walker, video producer, cinematographer is famous. He deserves to keep his name. But if you do a "Clay Walker" people search on a search engine, you can find an endless list of Clay Walkers, to whom you can complain. Since they AREN'T famous, perhaps you will have better luck.

Sincerely, Ken Mosher

Squirrel Nut Zippers
