Zines Are Back
Is the zine scene alive and well in the digital age? You bet it is. In fact, it’s enjoying a kind of revival right now thanks, in part, to a traveling art show called Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines. Created and curated by two art historians from New York’s Brooklyn Museum, it’s been touring across the United States and Canada billed as the first ever exhibition dedicated to the rich history of North American zines. The exhibition included photographs, videos and original pages from the who’s who of the zine world. I saw it at my local art gallery and it blew me away. It’s gone now and that’s too bad because it concisely summed up the contribution zines have made to our cultural history. I learned a lot.

That Time An Italian Singer Made A Song in Gibberish
For better or worse, American pop culture has been wildly influential all over the world for a long time. Particularly where music is concerned. The Beatles got their start out of a love for American rock n' roll music--particularly Chuck Berry. David Bowie, real name David Jones, was a British Ameriphile who named his stage name after American historical figure, Jim Bowie. British punk bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash grabbed influence from American proto-punk pioneers like Iggy and The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. I could go on all day, but we'd be here forever.
