No.5: Take a Stand Against the Klan and Nazis | Original Issuez Highlights

In 2025, it is more important than ever for the people of Chicago, and the rest of the world, to stand up against racist violence and hatred in their communities. This article, written by the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, an anti-racist activist group that ran from 1978-1990, was originally featured on page five of issue five of WholesomeZine in 1986. It details members of the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis showing up to anti-racist and anti-apartheid events to attack protesters.

The Perfect Timing of Steve Lacy's The Lofis
The Perfect Timing of Steve Lacy's The Lofis

One thing you can always take away from listening to Steve Lacy‘s music is that both uniqueness and a high form of creativity is not always seen through complex sounds or complex beats or even through the subtle lyrics. Music doesn't always have to move the audience ears in so many ways in order to be beautiful and I think that The Lofis in particular is something that is like no other.

Soul Station Feature: Cheap Trick

He’s A Whore

I was very lucky to have seen Cheap Trick in a bar early in 1977, right around the time of their first album. Epic was promoting a mostly "industry only" showcase. They were really great, and I also quite liked their first album, too! For me, one of their very best, and most hard hitting tracks, comes from that album, and while it has always served as a kind of reminder of the society in which we all live, it seems especially pertinent to NOW! And it can be applied to SO many people, in politics, business, everywhere! And not to be singular or sexist, to women as well.
