Description: Low Hug 4 has a concert theme with contributors sharing anecdotes about horrifying, hilarious, good, and bad experiences. There are sidebar pieces about local shows and bands at CBGB. The longer essays detail how Woodstock 1999 was a terrible (and smelly) disappointment, an author's love for the TV show "Law & Order," song obsessions, and a scathing critique of Oprah Winfrey's Oxygen Network with its rampant consumerism and watered down feminism. At the end, library school student A.j. reviews tv shows, documentary films, music, and zines.
Notes: Cover title.
