Sorry, I meant to mention before I left that I was leaving. Which is a sincere if feeble sounding gesture of apology to help explain away the dearth of posts over the last month.

In catching up on my reading, Rock and Roll Report reminds me of the good old days, when radio was something more than it is most places today. To revisit that bygone era, if only vicariously, check out malcolm's freeformradio.org and freeformradio's blog. In the meantime, even if you never heard freeform radio and don't know what it might even be, you can pretend and imagine you do -- as he has great things you can wear or stick on, all developed in a Secret Mountain Laboratory. He's also promised a book on freeform radio and we will hold him to that promise.

I happen to remember underground and freeform radio. In fact, when KSAN was first broadcasting in the wee wee hours, I not only had a radio to listen to it from, but I knew someone who had a reel-to-reel tape recorder. I tried to talk him into putting a microphone in front of the radio speaker and taping every show, because I suspected we all might need it some day.
