Gotta write it though? If you really want me to take it seriously? Write a letter. I like real mail.

The artist who coined "conceptual art" to describe his work and who co-founded Printed Matter amongst other achievements, is dead.

It's a new day.

Why is coke illegal?

In America, where racism is a omnipresent, it came down to racial fears.
