The band embarked on their first tour through
four years in the heart of the city. Enthusiastic about staying at the 19 story hotel with no boss or owner, they asked all kinds of questions about how the cooperative is organized: from how do they make decisions, how has the police reacted, how many patrons stay at the hotel because it functions as a cooperative. Many of the questions were rooted in their own experience self-managing a punk rock band and record label, G-7 welcoming committee.

I'm glad they stayed at the worker run hotel. The spirit of rock-n-roll is one of rebellion. It was the Devil's music.
When friends from South America, come to the USA, they go to the record shop, and pick up heavy metal and punk music. I'm the opposite, craving tango, flamenco, salsa etc.
yeah, this group sounds cool. i am a hip-hopper myself but good rock is always welcolm. Power to the People!!!
I've also stayed in a cooperatively-run hotel in Venezuela. It felt good except the harsh realization that those working in it were very unlikely to ever be able to afford to stay in it! What to do?
