Uncorrected machine reading. This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.
How this article was cut and titled: headline found by type size in the OCR geometry (split_tabloid.py); 2-2 of 4; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

violence never amounted to more than a cry of, "Don't bother me.

"Leave me alone; anyway, I'm almost grown"; "Don't step on my blue suede shoes"

ain't no cure for the summertime blues"; "I can't get no satisfaction": the rock refrains that express despair could be strung out forever._But at least rock has offered an honest appraisal of where its makers and listeners are at, and that radical, if bitterly defeatist, honesty is a touchstone, a starting point. If the companies, as representatives of the corporate structure, can convince the rock world that their revolution is won or almost won, that the walls, of the playground are crumbling, not only will the constituents of rock seal their fate by that fatal self-deception, but their music, one of the few things they actually do have going for them, will have been successfully corrupted and truly emasculated.

To those who needed these is true to the extent that those who spend more time in the workshop naturally feel more possessive about it mainly because they know more about the actual production of posters.

posters for others, but a place where those who need or want to make posters can find equipment, materials, and help. The intention is to teach as many people as possible how to make their own posters. It is hoped that they will go back to their places of work or colleges and set up their own silk screens. In reality this is very difficult to promote. People are lazy or so bound up with their own campaigns that they do not have the inclination or the time to make posters. We recognise this. Thus some people say that the division of labour is here to stay - at least for the foreseeable future. We are not entirely convinced.
