Happy 50th, Electric Fetus!

Long, strange trip: Electric Fetus marks 50 years of music, other stuff
The Minneapolis record shop on 4th Avenue south of downtown is arguably the state's counterculture capital. It'll celebrate 50 years in business this weekend with a First Avenue show on Saturday night and an in-store celebration on Sunday. Doughnuts have been promised.
It's a remarkably long run for a store known for rock and roll, smoking paraphernalia and some scandal — at one point, even part of the name, "fetus," was too risque to print in ads, according to a history of the shop.

I've spent many hours in that store. Thrilled to know it's still there, 15 years later.
