Well, I finally finished up the first issue of the Music Film Art Culture Los Angeles Zine which I will distribute anywhere and everywhere for free.
This issue is titled Beautiful Americans as I am feeling very optimistic these days despite growing financial pressures, wars, corruptions of just about everything. I had been going through my collection of books and decided that it would be a great time to create an assemblage of excerpts from a few of my favorites. The one theme that has always remained constant is birth/ creation through death/adversity. Too often, the best music, art, literature, cultural growth springs from the depths of human suffering; I think it would do us all a bit of good to remember that.
Here's a list of those movements and individuals who are included in this issue:
Allen Ginsberg
Aldo Leopold
Robert Thurman
Langston Hughes
American Blues
Arrica Rose
DJ Christine Renee
Gill Scott-Heron
Kenneth Anger
JJ Stratford
Harry Smith
Zora Neale-Hurston
Emma Goldman
Noam Chomsky
Winona LaDuke
Hip Hop
Mexican Americans
Punk Rock
ARP
Disco
