Au Revoir Arthur, Part Deux

More on the sudden demise of Arthur Magazine

Arthur was oversized, free, colorful, patchouli-scented but whip-smart, unapologetically political, sometimes silly, often anarchist and always willing to listen to voices way, way outside the mainstream. Above all, it was prophetic, usually about two years ahead of the rest of the country in its loves and obsessions. But in the end, there just wasn't enough peace and love to go around.

"The magazine can't be restarted," Babcock said. "It's a done deal. It's dead. The situation can't be unfucked."
