Saturday on "The Rock"

Today's NY Times reports on what happened yesterday on Governors Island in New York Harbor, where my family lived for 3 years :

"On Governors Island, 66 punk rock bands were scheduled to play on 13 stages scattered across the island. The revelry made for unexpected contrasts with the other events taking place there, many of them related to the island’s military legacy. People who had crossed New York Harbor to see drills performed by men dressed in 19th-century military garb or watch a demonstration of historic weapons ended up mingling with punk rockers sporting gravity-defying hairdos and belts resembling bandoliers of ammunition.
