We are like salmon, swimming back upstream;
Leaping against waterfalls that thwart,
Cut and bruised; but strong; our only dream
Return to source; no thought save source of thought;
And in that fight, our iron age turns to bronze,
And we to heroes, in a war of soul,
As nature seeks the nature it had once;
Though wholly lost, remembering the whole.
We silver salmon, sparkling as the sun
Shines on our fierce and loving enterprise:
To rear our children where the world is one;
The source remembered, nature's greatest prize.
The golden age is ageless in its gleam
And we, like salmon, swimming back upstream.
The stream is a metaphor for life, and the progression of ages a sort of literary vehicle, if not metaphor, then allegory, for our "progress" toward our goal, which is to return to our origin.

The Golden Age Of The Vintage Jukebox
In today's world dominated by MP3 players and other digital media, it is highly unlikely that the vintage jukebox can survive. Yet against all odds, this traditional music machine is still here. If you look around you can find them in bars and cafes, even in peoples homes.
Jukeboxes are semi automated coin-operated music playing devices. The songs played by them are usually self- contained. Traditionally they are designed with rounded tops and the front and sides decked with colored flashing lighting. Their buttons are lettered and numbered such that different combinations stand for a particular song from a particular record. The designs progressed from the1930s austere wood boxes to the 1940s models which had brightly lit color animation and plastic displays like the Rudolf Wurlitzer 850 Peacock jukebox. However the United States government banned the manufacture of metal and plastic jukeboxes once it entered the Second World War in order to increase the amount of metal ad plastic that went into the war effort. This had an important effect on their design. An example is the 1943 Wurlitzer 950 which used wooden coin slides to reduce metal consumption. Instead of plastic, it also had glass lit panels.
After the Second World War however, metal and plastic for their construction was once again back in abundance which prompted a lot of growth in their making. The Bubber jukebox was made during this era and presents perhaps the best design of all time. Since most of them lived on into the 1950s, they have always been synonymous with the fifties pop culture despite the fact that they originated in the 1940s. The jukebox designs after the 40s increasingly became three-dimensional and more hi-tech in appearance. This was a complete shift from the "standard" box fashions like the renaissance, ancient Grecian and gothic architecture themes that had dominated the 40s jukeboxes.
The 1940s jukeboxes are referred to as Golden Age jukeboxes due to the yellow colored Catlin plastic that was used while the 1950s models are the Silver Age due to their chromium-plate material used in design. The explosion of the popularity of drive in restaurants caused a major increase in the use of them as restaurant owners tried to attract as many customers as possible using the jukeboxes.
Although other kinds of music entertainment media have replaced diner jukeboxes today, both old and young people still enjoy and are attracted to their garish styling wherever there is one to be found. The nostalgia for the jukebox music machine may never end even though this mass media device may be slowly disappearing.

Though aimed at those fastidious comic book collectors who spend exorbitant sums for old DC first editions (only to leave them unread and wrapped in plastic), Comic Book Confidential manages to convey the fanaticism and fun of this hobby to non-aficionados. Canadian director Ron Mann traces the history of the comic book industry, the idiotic purging of so-called violent comics in the 1950s, and the growth of the collectibles industry. Throughout the film, any comic book which does not meet Mann's exacting standards is trashed (Dell and Harvey, beware!) Among those interviewed are Marvel Comics mavens Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and EC mentors William M. Gaines and Will Elder. The underground comix movement is represented by Robert Crumb. Though he clearly loves comics, Ron Mann might have more successfully conveyed this with fewer clever camera angles. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Neneh Cherry doesn't get into the studio nearly often enough. Three years passed before the British singer/rapper came out with a second album. Thankfully, she more than lived up to the tremendous promise of Raw Like Sushi on the equally magnificent and risk-taking Homebrew. Cherry shows no signs of the dreaded sophomore slump -- everything on the CD is a gem. She triumphs with a seamless and unorthodox blend of hip-hop, R&B, dance music, and pop, and on "Money Love" and "Trout," the presence of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe brings rock to the eclectic mix. As humorous as Cherry can be, her reflections on relationships and social issues are often quite pointed. While "Money Love" decries the evils of materialism, the moving "I Ain't Gone Under Yet" describes an inner-city woman's determination not to be brought down by the poverty and drugs that surround her. And "Twisted" is about keeping yourself sane in a world gone insane. Unfortunately, Homebrew wasn't the commercial breakthrough Cherry was more than deserving of. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: J$ (From "Trout") - Guitar

I have been drawing comics ever since I was in 2nd grade. Now, the ones from 4rth grade and under are in safe storage and mixed up, but the ones from 5th grade to 7nth are organized in folders. Now, in 5th and 6th grade, when I would fill up one side of the paper with a comic, I would start to draw on the other, meaning there would be thick pencil drawings on both sides. Now, these drawings are 2-3 years old and they mean a lot to me, and recently they started to smudge. Some of them I have trouble reading. What can I do to preserve these drawings? I would like them to last a much longer time than 3 years. There are around 300-400 of these comics (a lot of drawing, but my poor grades at the time show that) Also, 7nth grade to now have only 1 side and they don't smudge.
Please note that there are over 300 of these comics, maybe even over 500. Buying fixatives would be into several hundred dollars for EVERY one of these comics. I need a cheap and fast way to do this. Thanks!
Fix mount spray or hairspray will do.
Alway do it outside though.

A hilarious and satirical debut novel exploring religious hypocrisy in an Irish grade school. Combining the spirit of Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim with a bawdy evisceration of hypocrisy in old-school Catholic education, The Brothers' Lot is a comic satire that tells the story of the Brothers of Godly Coercion School for Young Boys of Meager Means, a dilapidated Dickensian institution run by an assemblage of eccentric, insane, and often nasty celibate Brothers. The school is in decline and the Brothers hunger for a miracle to move their founder, the Venerable Saorseach O'Rahilly, along the path to Sainthood. When a possible miracle presents itself, the Brothers fervently seize on it with the help of the ethically pliant Diocesan Investigator, himself hungry for a miracle to boost his career. The school simultaneously comes under threat from strange outside forces. The harder the Brothers try to defend the school, the worse things seem to get. It takes an outsider, Finbar Sullivan, a young student newly arrived at the school, to see that the source of the threat may in fact lie inside the school itself. As the miracle unravels, the Brothers' efforts to preserve it unleash a disastrous chain of events. Tackling a serious subject from the oblique viewpoint of satire, The Brothers' Lot explores the culture that allowed abuses within church-run institutions in Ireland to go unchecked for decades. The novel inhabits a space where Angela's Ashes meets the work of Flann O'Brien and Mervyn Peake, while providing a look at a regrettable era that still haunts many countries across the globe.
Taking the evolution of the comic book as its subject, this History Channel documentary stands out by merit of its comprehensive scope and insight. Beginning with the early days of 1930s vigilantes and the patriotic characters of the 1940s, the program reveals the current complexity and range found in the pages of contemporary graphic novels, and explores the ways that cultural climates and popular attitudes are reflected in comic books. All the heavyweights weigh in, including Neil Gaiman (THE SANDMAN), Frank Miller (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS), Stan Lee (SPIDER-MAN, THE SILVER SURFER), Kevin Smith (CHASING AMY), Will Eisner (THE SPIRIT), and others. Keith David, who voiced Spawn from the TV show, narrates the program, which is presented by Peta Wilson (LA FEMME NIKITA). In addition to the star-studded cast, however, the documentary has a lot to offer fans and neophytes alike, with analyses of the role of collecting in the comic book world, and the creation of such seminal entities as DC Comics and Marvel as well as characters like Dark Horse, the Incredible Hulk, and Wonder Women. Contextualizing the innovations and progress of the art form, this documentary is not just an important exploration of the graphic arts, but a fascinating look back at the shifting cultural concerns of a nation.
