120 Minutes Archive.



Do y'all remember 120 minutes?
 Do you remember a time, when MTV attempted to play interesting music? 
When MTV did not become another teen reality network? 
 When MTV mattered? 
 Do you remember these times: then head to the 120 Minutes Archive put together by Tyler C..

Outline of the Republic Leads us to Rediscover Heart of Darkness

"The offing was barred by a bank of clouds, and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed sombre under an overcast sky-seemed to lead into the heart of an immune darkness." (Conrad 158) So ends Conrad's heart of Darkness.   Sidhartha Deb ends his book with an allusion, an implicit reference, to the end of Conrad's Heart of Darkness.  "I turned left , knowing that if I kept going I would come to the river." (Deb 318)  Deb points us again to the place that holds the heart of darkness, once described by Conrad, and that this place still remains in the twenty first century.  We have failed to become a modernized utopia.  A utopia where  the river now flows to the heart of heal-able light.

A Far Country There is Hunger

"When they spoke of those hours, they said, We passed hunger.  As if it were a place, an outpost, on a lonely road.  Other times they said, Hunger passed through here.  As if something alive, pale hoofed creature, who tore though on bristling haunches or ambled out of the white forest with a worn suit, and a broken face, a monster or a devil."  (Mason page 5)
