		Founded in 1962 by a pair of New Yorkers, Agnes "Sis" Cunningham and Gordon Friesen, Broadside was launched as a simple mimeographed newsletter of stories, letters, and transcribed topical songs -- a true precursor to the slew of politicized fanzines that punk would inspire a generation later.
		Broadside's brand of folk music was, at its best, journalism -- tales from the front and news analyses that the wider world could choose to act on, or not.
		For what it was worth, Broadside, which shuttered in 1988, now serves as a reminder of how singer/songwriters shifted their gaze from their windows to their mirrors.

	November 2000 - Popular Music and Jazz
		Broadside magazine started as a mimeographed and stapled collection of topical political songs in 1962 -- just the right year for such a venture, with the repression of the fifties waning, the Civil Rights Movement waxing, the folk revival in full swing, and the anti-war movement soon to come.
		The Best of Broadside 1962-1988: Anthems of the American Underground From the Pages of Broadside Magazine (Smithsonian Folkways), a five-CD box set, documents this era with eighty-nine songs and extensive liner notes expressing opinions that were inexpressible in the mainstream media.
		Though often recorded in crude conditions by today's standards, the songs are sung with invigorating vitality, and the subjects remain oddly topical; change a detail here and there, and these exercises in moral outrage could be pulled from today's headlines.

		It is as much an homage to the adventurous publication--a prototype alternative newspaper, begun in 1962 in a cramped rent-controlled apartment in New York City in the aftermath of the 1950s persecution of the New Left--as it is a tribute to the music of the times.
		In 1962 and over the ensuing years, there was plenty of scandalous material for songwriters to focus on: the civil rights abuses, the spread of nuclear weapons, government deception, and widespread poverty in a land of plenty.
		The 89-song Broadside CD set is the story of the New Left and a half century of resistance and struggle that saw the emergence of the women's movement, gay rights, labor battles, growing dissent over the Vietnam War, and a simmering discontent with suburban sprawl and the vapid values of middle-class life.
