Music GroupsCity Lights Turns 50
Today's New York Times has an article on the 50th birthday of City Lights, San Francisco's legendary bookstore that has been a haven for beats and the counterculture since its opening. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, its founder, is pictured above.
Good quote from the article: "The most interesting writing now is coming out of third world authors and women," he said. "It takes hunger and passion to create great books."
