Letters - two
Kurt Cobain wrote an angry letter to MTV, complaining about how it strangled creativity. He never sent it.
"Dear Empty TV/ the entity of all Corporate / GODS / We will survive without you/ easily - - the / oldschool is going / DOWN FAST/ my lifes Dedication/ is Now to Do Nothing/ But SLAG something / Kurdt Kobaineee professional Rock musician."With no apparent sense of either irony or shame, it's now turned up in an auction. Rage repackaged for the highest bidder.

On a slight tangent, I saw a transcript of this very letter a month or so on the truly wonderful 'Letters of Note' blog:

I'd recommend browsing through that site for the letter from John K (creator of Ren & Stimpy) alone, it's delightful. What a way to inspire a young fan!

To pull it back to a vaguely music-related theme, one from Morrissey and another from Henry Rollins:
