WITHERED Arts Journalism? "All historic epochs have cynics who pontificate that everything under the sun has been accomplished, and that there are "no more movements" on the horizon. Such proclamations are the clearest sign that all hell is about to break loose. Artists have always reacted to the world around them - with their collective actions forming schools or movements. To declare that we are in a "post-movement" period while the world is burning is nothing short of delusional."...

'Wild 94.9' Supports High School Student Walk-out in East Side San Jose I was amazed to see that this mainstream radio station is really doing local activism and probably having a significant impact, despite being a Clear Channel station. I'd heard the Doghouse guys before cutting down Bush as stuff got worse recently, but now they're really doing something concrete. A girl called in to say how the students will be wearing all pink in support of their teachers and will go into the hallways starting in second period and will stay out there all day, if possible.
