(1,811 posts)22. How Far they have Fallen
My older sister of all people, actually had a subscription to the VV back in the 60s, shortly after she made the mistake of turning down scholarships to college to marry her redneck husband. When at her house, I loved reading the Voice while the adults made small talk over coffee, as it was a window out of my stupid upstate town to a world with options, not to mention it's coverage of music.
Sis has been fully assimilated since then, a classic example of a low-information voter as are her four adult kids and we don't talk anymore.

I agree. I lived in NYC up until a few months ago and found the VV almost unreadable
