AI notes: Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980) is a biographical film about country singer Loretta Lynn, tracing her rise from poverty in rural Kentucky to stardom in Nashville. Starring Sissy Spacek in an Oscar-winning role, the movie portrays Lynn’s early marriage, struggles as a young mother, and breakthrough in the male-dominated country music world. With music performed by Spacek herself, the film highlights Lynn’s determination, talent, and the support—and complications—of her husband, Doolittle Lynn. It's considered a landmark in musical biopics and a tribute to Lynn’s legacy.
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.
Complete in 120 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
