The Michigan Scene Today

We’re a year old this month and a year older. The alternative culture is a year older too, a year further out of adolescence or a year deeper into it. Whatever, we thought to take stock of the home front as we see it; where we’ve been and where we are, and maybe we can draw some conclusions as to where we’re going.

We’re a year old this month and a year older. The alternative culture is a year older too, a year further out of adolescence or a year deeper into it. Whatever, we thought to take stock of the home front as we see it; where we’ve been and where we are, and maybe we can draw some conclusions as to where we’re going.

The alternative culture in the Detroit/Ann Arbor community is first and foremost a rock and roll culture. Whatever movement we have here grew out of rock and roll. It was rock and roll music which first drew us out of our intellectual covens and suburban shells. We got excited by and about the music and started relating to each other on the high plane of energy that has come to be associated with our community; it is around the music that the community has grown and it is the music which holds the community together.
