The high-gloss rags of the nineties couldn't kill the "Manhattan Review of Unnatural Acts". Originally the brainchild of the late, great Boyd McDonald, Straight to Hell was the undisputed champ of "folk-porn" — a typed, xeroxed chronicle of real-life encounters sent in by the readers themselves.
Even in this 2007 edition, the tradition remained fiercely anti-establishment. Under the wing of Billy Miller, the zine preserved the gritty, unpolished honesty that had been rattling cages since the early seventies. It stood as a bridge between the pre-Stonewall underground and the modern DIY movement, reminding us that the most radical act is simply telling the truth about our lives.
