Freak Radio Santa Cruz Celebrates 15 Years Of Pirate Broadcasting
Free Radio Santa Cruz celebrated 15 years of unlicensed, community supported radio on March 27th at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in downtown Santa Cruz. The night featured local musicians and brought together past and present station programmers, as well as other community members. In addition to the local musicians, Tom Lodge, a pirate radio legend and pioneer from England, spoke of the great days of Radio Caroline, which allowed for the British Invasion. Lodge recently penned a book called The Ship That Rocked The World: How Radio Caroline Defied the Establishment, Launched the British Invasion, and Made the Planet Safe for Rock and Roll.
Free Radio Santa Cruz can be picked up at 101.1 FM in most of Santa Cruz, and online at www.freakradio.org

Thanks, Bradley. Your photos make real the intangible.
Robert has such a smooth, clear radio voice, that you'd picture a Michael Krasney/yuppie appearance, so he needs the hair volume to keep it real and also intensify the dynamics of throwing pies at him.
It seems interesting to me that the person who bid highest for pie-pushing privilege was David Foster, with whom I have worked in the past in pursuit of housing for "the rest of the people". Foster told me at the FRSC celebration he intends to run for a seat on SC CityCouncil in upcoming election. Smiling as the pie left his arm.
