For the first time, fans can stream the music of influential indie rock group Salem 66
Advertisement The new availability of Salem 66's music — four albums, an EP, and two singles released between 1984-90 — marks the resurfacing of a group that was part of a vibrant Boston indie-music landscape in the '80s. The scene yielded breakout acts like the Del Fuegos, Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'It was this really, really creative and exciting time,' Kaplan says. Salem 66 formed after mutual friends suggested that Grunwald and Kaplan connect. Each had previously played in other bands: Grunwald fronted the Maps on their 1979 single 'I'm Talking to You,' while Kaplan was in the Insteps with friends from high school. They were between projects in 1981 when Kaplan came by the house Grunwald shared with musicians from other Boston bands. Advertisement 'We sat there just looking at each other's lyrics in my bedroom on the floor,' Grunwald says. 'You can tell if you like somebody's writing or not.' With Susan Merriam on drums initially, the trio was soon playing gigs and recording songs for their first EP, a six-song, self-titled 1984 release built around hooky melodies, coupled with punchy, angular guitars and the contrasting sound of Grunwald's resonant voice and Kaplan's breathier vocals. Drawing as much on the writing of Emily Brontë and Norman Mailer as on the influence of English bands like the Slits and the Raincoats and Ultravox, Salem 66 quickly carved out a niche in the Boston scene. 'I hate to use the word 'quirky,' but what the heck,' Grunwald says, laughing. Though there was a strong sense of camaraderie among the musicians on the scene, Salem 66 was not immune to casual sexism. Grunwald and Kaplan recall bouncers not letting them into the dressing rooms backstage at clubs, or music-store clerks asking if they were buying guitar strings for their boyfriends. They even changed how they dressed onstage, opting for jeans and T-shirts instead of the vintage clothing they favored at first. 'We were three girls, none of us were that great on our instruments, and we were writing songs,' Kaplan says. 'We were very new and very raw, and kind of noisy. I think that's not what people expected, that they wanted to hear something prettier.' Raw and noisy was exactly what Advertisement 'I loved the way they played off each other,' Donelly says. 'I loved their voices, I was just always really drawn to them. And so, when we got here and we played with them a few times, it was kind of thrilling.' For Grunwald and Kaplan, the thrill was wearing off, and the band split following the release of the 1990 album 'Down the Primrose Path.' There was no blow-up, no undercurrent of ill-will among the members. It was simply time to move on. 'It's a tough life to sustain,' Grunwald says. 'Doing that for that many years without really the model changing that much, I just got to a point where I felt like I wanted to do something else.' Grunwald enrolled at Harvard Extension School, got married (to Dave Minehan, of the Neighborhoods and other bands), and had kids. Kaplan finished a degree in history at UMass Amherst. She got married and worked as a university archivist before becoming a yoga instructor. She moved to Providence a little more than a year ago. Though Kaplan has begun playing out again for the first time in decades, appearing with Chris Brokaw earlier in May in Jamaica Plain, she and Grunwald say the idea of a Salem 66 reunion is more flattering than practical, despite the occasional offer to play festival gigs. 'It's been so long since I've been in a band, it didn't really feel like it fit into where I am,' says Grunwald, who lives in Essex. All the same, the positive reaction to news of their music becoming accessible again has been gratifying for both. Advertisement 'In all these years, I was thinking that there was such an incredibly small number of people who actually noticed, or that I knew them all,' Kaplan says. 'It's been really nice, I think for both of us, to hear from people saying that they loved our band.'

Georgetown scholar recalls terror and ‘mockery of due process' in immigration jail
'They said, 'No, you have to use it like this or do it in your trousers,'' Khan Suri recalled of the trip, taking him to a Louisiana detention center. 'They were behaving as if we were animals.' Khan Suri, 41, was Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up He also addressed the Trump administration's accusations that he spread 'Hamas propaganda.' Khan Suri said he only spoke in support of Palestinians, who are going through an 'unprecedented, livestreamed genocide.' Advertisement 'I don't support Hamas,' he said. 'I support Palestine. I support Palestinians. And it is so deceiving for some people who just publish canards ... They will just replace Palestine with Hamas.' Yet, because of his comments, he said U.S. authorities treated him as if he had committed a high-level crime. Fellow inmates said his red uniform was reserved for the most dangerous offenders. Advertisement 'I said, 'No, I'm just a university teacher. I did nothing,' Khan Suri recalled. Still, there were rays of hope. He said more than a hundred people from the Georgetown community wrote letters on his behalf to the federal judge overseeing his case, including some who are Jewish. A crowd also greeted him when he arrived back in the Washington, D.C., area. 'Hindus, Jews, Christians, Muslims — everyone together,' said Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow who studies religion, peace and violence. 'That is the reality I want to live with. That's the reality I want to die for. Those people together.' 'I was not in Russia or North Korea' U.S. Immigration authorities have detained international college students from across the country — many of whom participated in campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war — since the early days of Trump's second administration. The administration has said it revoked Khan Suri's visa because he was 'spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,' while also citing his connections to 'a senior advisor to Hamas,' which court records indicate is his wife Mapheze Saleh's father. Saleh is a Palestinian American whose father worked with the Hamas-backed Gazan government in the early 2000s, but before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Khan Suri's attorneys have said. They also said he barely knew his father-in-law, Ahmed Yousef. Mapheze Saleh during an interview with The Associated Press, on Thursday. Julia Demaree Nikhinson/Associated Press Khan Suri's attorneys said he wouldn't comment on Yousef during Thursday's interview, which mostly covered his arrest and time in custody. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Khan Suri's statements. Khan Suri said he was arrested just after he taught his weekly class on minority rights and the majority. Masked police in plain clothes pulled up in an unmarked car outside his suburban Washington home. Advertisement They showed no documents, he said. Other than saying his visa was being revoked, they refused to explain the reason for his arrest, which he described it as a 'kidnapping.' 'This is not some authoritarian regime,' Khan Suri said. 'I was not in Russia or North Korea. I was in the best place in the world. So, I was shocked.' 'How can this be happening?' As police whisked him away, Khan Suri realized they wanted to deport him. The 'dehumanizing procedures' came next: A finger scan, a DNA cotton swab and chains binding his wrists, waist and ankles, he said. They also said he could talk to his wife at a detention center in Virginia, but 'that never happened.' He said he slept on a floor without a blanket and used a toilet monitored by a camera. The next day, he said he and other detainees were placed in a van, which soon rolled up to an airplane. 'I asked them where I am going now? Nobody would reply anything,' Khan Suri said. 'They just pushed us in.' He said the bathroom situation did not get better at a federal detention center in Louisiana, where Khan Suri was taken next. It lacked a privacy barrier and was also watched by a camera. He was finally able to call his wife, but he said she couldn't hear him. Khan Suri said he was 'extremely terrified,' thinking that someone was making his family not reply. He was not able to speak to a lawyer, while fellow inmates said everyone there is deported within three days, Khan Suri said. Advertisement 'I was crying from inside, 'How can this be happening?' he said. 'A few hours back, I was in Georgetown teaching my students, talking about peace and conflict analysis.' Through the abyss Khan Suri said his first seven or eight days of captivity were the same: 'Same terror. Same fear. Same uncertainty. Same mockery of rule of law. Same mockery of due process.' 'I was going more and more deeper, reaching to my abyss,' he added. 'And I was discovering that the abyss also has more and more depth.' But he was still praying five times a day, uncertain which direction Mecca was. 'I was very strong like that, that God will help me. American Constitution will help me. American people will help me,' he said. Afterward, Khan Suri was transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he said he slept on the floor of a crowded cell for the first two weeks. Eventually, he got his own cot. And, finally, he was allowed to speak to his attorneys, which he said led to a change in treatment. Khan Suri, who is Muslim, soon received a Quran and then a prayer rug. As for the rug, he rolled it up like it was his young son. 'My eyes would become wet, and I would give that blanket a hug as my son so that this hug should reach him,' Khan Suri said. 'And when I came back, he told me the same, that he was hugging a pillow.'
