January 1987 - The first issue of A Dirty Little Secret (ADLS), a music and culture fanzine is born, printed “borrowing” the photo copier located outside the principals office of a Long Island, NY high school.
Fast forward to January 2012. Exactly 25 years later, ADLS is reborn on the web. Make sure to “Follow” and “Like” in the appropriate areas. Lots more to come.
