Seems a hard line to take with Fernando Garcia Delgado.
Perhaps you don't believe any of it? Not as a nation like Argentina
but as person 97-98 with my many magazines similar things
as he describes transpired and flattened all memory and
ability to keep organized or focused the way they'd been
endless projects. It all had to be rethought.
ps did moontea and avalon get the mailings?
o to heck with brief messages. I was reading about Detroit today.
The supernatural big brother across the water from my teens
and early twenties. A copy of FIFTH ESTATE from 1997
with both an 81 and a 69 allen ginsberg interview(s)
and oddly enough stacks of stuff about Detroit circa 67.
Guaranteed, the many eternal network art projects
would have been delayed somewhat around that time: Quote:
"As I write the toll is 38 dead (FE note: the final toll was
42 fatalities, almost all at the hands of the cops and troops);
injuries in the thousands; 1,500 fires; almost 2,000 stores
looted; 15,000 troops in the city; over 3,100 arrests; and
about a billion dollars in property damage."
from Peter Werbe's "Get The Big Stuff" FIFTH ESTATE FALL 1997
Detroit was Iraq in 1967.
