Millhaven Institution - Popular Culture

Popular Culture

The song "38 Years Old" by The Tragically Hip refers to an escape from the prison. The opening lines of the song say "Twelve men broke loose in '73, from Millhaven maximum security." There was such an escape, but the rest of the song alludes to fiction.

The track "Caller Go Ahead" on Canadian performer Bruce McCulloch's 2002 comedy album Drunk Baby Project features a caller on a sports radio show who isn't able to watch televised games while at Millhaven.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.
    Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
