"In this issue of Shotgun Seamstress, I talk to Black rock-n-roller Mick Collins of the Gories and the Dirtbombs, who has been honing his talent for over 20 years with little or no financial compensation until recently. Two young Black gay women, Senora Grayson and Adee Licious, tell us how they figured out how to travel across the country virtually for free. ... also Alvin Baltrop, a talented Black photographer from the Bronx who operated with very little money, experienced alienation based on race and class from the art world, and ended up dying of cancer after receiveing sub par health care ... and Jacob Gardens shares with us his dream of a world without capitalism."
