“Taxis” – Zoos of Berlin
Zoos of Berlin are better than you. I don’t mean that subjectively, philosophically or vaguely. I mean it empirically, aesthetically and technically.

BH: Yeah, I think it was older too, from the early days of “home submarine building.” I don’t know if that subculture still exists?

the Saturday lineup for this year’s Lollapalooza is the single worst day in music festival history.

that is all.
I know you’re a fan of hyperbole and Lolla is quite disapointing, but they killed a dude at Altamont. Also, recall Woodstock 99 in all its...
Why do we Americans need these damn guns?
With Steve McNair getting gunned down today, I was reminded of this piece by Bill Bonds on the assassination of John Lennon. Whatever you think of Billy: drunk, sellout, has-been, you have to admit that the commentary part of this piece ranks with the best speeches in the history of TV news.
