Anarchy Babies
In 2008, Caleb J. Clark was working on a Masters degree at The Interactive Telecommunications Program in the Tisch School Of The Arts at New York University. His thesis was a short film of interviews with the children of hardcore, 1960′s hippies. In Born Dropped Out: 12 Questions for Hippie Kids, Clark examines the perspectives [...]
Adrian Pride: Psychedeverly
Last night we lost Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers, ending one of rock music’s greatest duos forever. It’s always a big blow when a band loses a member, but when you’re talking about two brothers who sang together all of their lives, it’s a regretful coup de grace. Phil’s death is a sad occasion, [...]
A Punk Prayer
As any fan of the Coincidence Control Network knows, we’ve been following the Pussy Riot story very closely since the band/action art collective’s infamous performance at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on February 21, 2012.

With the tragedy of the JFK assassination marking its 50th anniversary this month, I’m continuing my regular posts exploring that dark day in Dallas. Not only was the assassination of JFK one of the most important events in U.S. history, the mystery that surrounds the tragedy created the modern conspiracy theory and continues to plague [...]
Oswald: Patsy
The television show In Search Of is a strange little chestnut from my childhood. I knew the show’s host, Leonard Nimoy from his turn as “Spock” in Star Trek repeats, and In Search Of’s focus on unexplained phenomena, missing persons and extraterrestrial encounters was right on target for a kid who already loved Sci-Fi. I [...]
JFK: DOA
This past Sunday over 2 million viewers tuned-in to the REELZ channel to watch a brand new documentary about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. With the tragedy marking its 50th anniversary this month, I’m planning on regular posts exploring that dark day in Dallas. Not only was the assassination of JFK one of the [...]
