FROM VENUS NO. 13 (THE UNCUT VERSION) — Although her name might not be as well-known as those of her former officemates Lester Bangs and Dave Marsh, rock writer Jaan Uhelszki also played an integral part in Detroit's seminal music mag Creem in the '70s. After moving up from "subscription kid" to editor, Jaan wrote a number of prominent articles, including the infamous "I Dreamed I Was Onstage with KISS in My Maidenform Bra," which documented the night she performed with the band in full make-up. Over the years, she has contributed to New Musical Express, the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Spin, and many other prominent publications, covering everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Oasis. Jaan spoke to Venus from her home in Berkeley, California.
