AI notes: Stand by Me is a 1986 coming-of-age drama directed by Rob Reiner, based on Stephen King's novella The Body. Set in the 1950s in a small Oregon town, the film follows four young boys—Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern—who set out on a two-day hike to find the body of a missing boy rumored to be dead in the woods. As they journey together, they confront personal struggles, bond deeply, and experience the emotional trials of growing up. The film explores themes of friendship, loss, and the bittersweet nature of adolescence. It stars Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell, with narration by Richard Dreyfuss. The title comes from the classic Ben E. King song, which features in the film.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
