...from the context of the streetlamps and mailboxes where they meant what they said, into a new habitat and context, where they mean something else. On these walls, they symbolize an intrinsic bond between the post-bohemian artistic anarchy of graffiti culture and the mercurial lunatic fringe that underground music has long occupied.The basement room that comprises Twisted Village is dusty and poorly lit, but an anxious potential crackles through the atmosphere; it’s the same potential that can resonate in the remote stacks of a rare book room or in a long-ignored film archive.

Flashback to 1965: The austere socialists who had run the State of Israel since its creation in 1948 had banned television; most music was sung in Hebrew (even imported Broadway show tunes); and most of its lyrics were nationalist exhortations to collective endeavor, struggle and sacrifice - amid the ever-present danger of of war with hostile Arab neighbors. Still, teenagers escaped from the folksy drudgery of their local pop scene by dialing up European...
