In the near-final arts contribution to our '50 years in 50 weeks' series of short write-ups on outstanding articles through the Bay Area Reporter's five decades, let's listen to the sound of endurance.
In December 2020, our first year of the pandemic reached its end as deaths and infections skyrocketed.
