The Good Citizen Magazine Archive

Good Citizen Magazine, edited and published by Chin Ho! frontman Andrew Smith, channeled Vermont’s music news and personalities to the world through fourteen issues. The magazine stopped publishing in 2000 but left a legacy of happy reminders about what an explosively diverse and active scene we had during its era. Big Heavy World sends very special thanks to Andrew and the Good Citizen crew — friends and officemates of ours way-back-when — for the love and effort they put into the magazine and for permission to share its many stories with you here. Thanks also to Andrew, Bob Bushnell, Pete Gershon, and Diane Sullivan for giving us issues we were missing. Volunteers Mara Brooks, Brynn Hutchins, and Tonya West helped make everything ready to publish.
