“Power and Currency” @ Factory Fresh

imageOnce upon a time in the 1990s, Madonna was still relevant, a little new show about a certain zipcode demonstrated massive potential, and the American dollar was practically the king of currency.

Despite American culture's instinct to undercut its immediate past, there's considerable relief in the spectacular commentary it's generating.
