AI notes: Road House (1989) is an action-packed cult classic starring Patrick Swayze as James Dalton, a cool-headed and mysterious professional “cooler” hired to clean up the violent Double Deuce bar in a small Missouri town. Known for his calm philosophy, martial arts prowess, and enigmatic past, Dalton clashes with the corrupt local tycoon Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), who controls the town through fear and extortion. As he restores order to the bar, Dalton forms a romantic bond with local doctor Elizabeth “Doc” Clay (Kelly Lynch) and reunites with his grizzled mentor Wade Garrett (Sam Elliott). The film blends barroom brawls, 1980s rock, and over-the-top action with philosophical one-liners and a gritty, denim-and-mullets aesthetic, cementing its place as a beloved cult favorite despite mixed critical reviews upon release.
And other pages have advertisements for upcoming performances in the New York City area by "THE WHO", "Ozzy Osbourne" & "10,000 Maniacs" (see images)
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 158 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
