Save it for the Ice Capades

Letter to the editor

Ian Bourland’s cynical criticism of the Feb. 9th Cherry Tree festival (“Cherry Tree benefits from ringers,” Feb. 14) relies heavily on faults that are, upon further inspection, hardly faults at all.

Wrapping it up at NGA

We can criticize and kvetch all we want, but in the end, we must face the truth: We absolutely delight in the fruits of the packaging, in the billions of dollars that make sure things look just right.

Radical feminist and anarchist Emma Goldman once said, “I don’t want to be part of your revolution if I can’t dance.” Like other musicians with good politics who came before them, Le Tigre provides anthems for its target demographic.
