An eight-page newsletter somewhere between a trade and a consumer publication for those who believe that rock is the cultural climax of Western civilization. Attempts to provide some social conscience for the mainstream rock’n’roll industry, and those who wish they were in it, but who are still calling themselves “alternative” this year. Spends a lot of time dealing with the race and the censorship issues in rock, with good grassroots information. Comes complete with insider news, philosophical considerations of new technologies, brief reviews of selected current releases, reading tips, and (re)considerations of the careers of rock’s greats.
