Along with his crisp, guitar-based rockers, there are once again a reggae number, a funk workout. . . ." I must ask Hochman to stand in the corner for not doing his homework. On "Talk Is Cheap," Richards' first solo, studio album, no reggae tune was recorded. The reggae tune "Too Rude" was included on Richards' second, live album. Since Hochman is comparing the current studio album to the first one, I feel it is only fair to draw this to your attention. I think Richards deserves to be judged on the facts and the music. ANNIE WACHTEL Los Angeles P.S. My husband had nothing to do with this. Really. Editor's note: The writer's husband, guitarist Waddy Wachtel, is a member of Richards' backing group, the X-Pensive Winos, and co-produced "Main Offender."
