A critical understanding o f this relationships is framed by Henri Levebre’s and Raymond Williams notions of place as a social and cultural construct. Their social theories inform an understanding of how social space and cultural texts interact to shape the political realities of a specific time and place, composing, as Williams describes, a “sociology of culture.” From this conceptual foundation, it is possible to view the underground presses’ artistic discourses, such as journalism, poetry, fiction, and visual art, as politically motivated modes of social and cultural critique, which were central to the kinds of dissent emerging in Detroit and elsewhere at the time. These discourses, ofien

MIX IT UP This, our last regular-ish paper of the year, is somewhat unconventional. You won’t see our regular sections or some of our consistent fea- tures. This is one of our few themed publications – The Urban Issue. We’re all on the same page, but from many different angles. For this issue – our last issue of the school year – we’re considering what makes up Winnipeg, what makes it awesome, what could be better. And for many of these articles, we’ve taken the time to go a bit more in-depth. We’re taking up the literary equivalent of the whole back bench on a Winnipeg Transit bus (a half-empty bus though, because we all know that if the bus was full, that would be just plain rude). We hope you enjoy flipping through these full-page longer reads and getting to know your- selves better. This is your city too, and perhaps there are a few weird corners left in it that you haven’t met yet. We’ve also made space for you to get to know some of us better. Our visual team put together a few full-page photo spreads, so we could give you a peek into the artistic minds that fill these pages with imagery week after week.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

INSPIRATIONAL TIMES - a major international exhibition tracing the history of one of the most influential periods through the Rock Art poster and graphic design in the 20th Century – will be held at Sotheby’s, Olympia from Sunday, January 5 through to Sunday, January 19, 2003. Based on the collection of fashion impresario Peter Golding, who is credited with creating the first stretch Jean in 1978, it is one of the largest archives of original rock and roll art in existence today. Peter began the collection after picking up a poster from a protest concert in Hyde Park, London in 1967 and has since amassed an extensive collection of original pieces of quintessential work by key artists and designers of the time ranging from sketches and illustrations to paintings, printing plates and first edition posters. Approximately 300 of these will be included in the exhibition. As well as having an impressive art collection, Peter Golding also owned the famous ACE boutique in London’s Kings Road, which during the 1970s and 1980s, catered to an international celebrity clientele of stage, screen and rock and roll stars.

  • N1 ROLL and FUCKING in the STREETS! RIGHT ON! WHITE
    FREE NEWSPAPER OF WHITE PANTHER PARTY DOPE, ROCK 'n 1 ROLL 1510 HILL ST., A.A. AND FUCKING IN THE 769-2017 (L.S.D. phone, also) STREETS! RIGHT ON! White Panther News Service WHITE PANTHER NEWS SERVICE July 23, 1969 The pig power structure of this state has finally done what they have been trying to do for the past 3 years. They have put John Sinclair in jail. This morning in Recorder's Court, Judge Colombo sentenced John to 9g to 10 years in a state prison for the possession of less than 2 joints of marijuana. They think with this move, they will have crippled the American Liberation Movement in the medwest, and specifically the White Panther Party. This is where they have made their biggest mistake., just as the pig power structure made the mistake of putting Huey P. Newton in jail. When the California pigs, led by Mickey Mouse Reagan and Dpneld D'icfc Rafferty. put Huey in gail, tftey th'ought they wpuld be destroying the Black Panther Party, or at least reducing it to a level where it would no longer be functional. But their tactics backfired on them and today the Black Panther Party is the most respected of the revolutionary groups in Amerika, and also the most feared by the Pigs. The White Panther Party will grow and become stronger and more together than ever before. John Sinclair had a dream for this world, a dream where mankind could live together as brothers and not want for anything. A world where there was truly "freedom and justice for all," and out of this dream came the community known as Trans-tove, and out of Trans-Love came the White Panthers, and from the White Pantbeps- and all of the other revolutionary groups in this country, this dream will become reality, and the dreams of Jefferson, Thoreau, Mao, Che, Huey, and Eldridge will come to pass also.

I was enrolled in Scott Friesner’s legendary “Vietnam and Rock” course and didn’t quite know what to expect yet from either the course or Scott. Being a product of the honors college, I showed up to new classes with a tinge of nervousness, but mostly a quiet confidence. A couple of lines from that initial class in Dunbar are forever burned in my mind. Firstly, and most importantly, professors that keep students for the full class on the first day are wankers. Secondly, if we never push ourselves to learn from people that are different from ourselves, we are simply masturbating our way through life.
