The date marks the anniversary of an infamous student-led revolt in South Korea in 1960 that occasioned its modern rebirth as a "democratic" nation. The controversial significance of the event is heightened by the present situation of political instability in Seoul, where the daily-increasing volume of student agitation for constitutional reforms keeps reintroducing the spectre of recent events in the Phillipines...

Perhaps inspired by such punk guerrilla bands as Britain's Clash and the Sex Pistols in the late '70s, rock has buried higher consciousness under high conscience. "It's a rebirth of the spirit we had in the '60s, but it is a little more pragmatic," says Don Henley, whose performance of his A Month of Sundays at FarmAid was a high point...
