The cultural stuff kills me.... But the articles on Russia ain't bad
I didn't realize that Bearsville, New York is actually part of Woodstock. Pretty groovy.
Yeah the classical music reviews I just kinda roll my eyes at. Some of the poetry is ok, I guess. Personally have found it hard to get into that stuff.
Yeah, I saw a few things where it seemed to be a part of Woodstock but wasn't sure. I assumed that there was an anarchist intentional colony or something that Retort was published out of. Will have to check further.
^^^^^ artists lots of creative people. I'm not aware of intentional community, but ya nevha know
