About Terminal Zone

The name Terminal Zone comes from a short-lived rock crit magazine published in a previous lifetime (like, in the '70s) by one of the architects of this website, and was chosen because no one could think of a better name. (The ultimate reference, of course, goes back to Chuck Berry's "Promised Land" and is one of the passages from here to there.)

The Archives section contains old work not originally written for this website, but useful as background for the authors.
