<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Misfits, Rejects and Ne'er-Do-Wells Running A Radio Station: Was It A Business Or A Commune?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>IT BEGAN WITH TWO ANARCHISTS AND A PROMISE OF FREE LAUNDRY<br /> <br /> Jeremy Lansman owned a low-wattage, listener-supported free-form radio station with his mostly absentee partner, Lorenzo Milam, in a seedy, decaying neighborhood in St. Louis. Jeremy was a radical, a shit-stirrer, an electronics genius and a free thinker. Lorenzo was brilliant, crippled, angry and odd. In the communal hippie ethos that was suddenly everywhere, the station owned a washing machine and invited everyone in the community to use it-free.<br /> <br /> Laura Ellen Hopper was a St. Louis hippie runaway who heard about the washing machine and, being of the community and needing clean clothes, she went to the station, met Jeremy, and they became a couple, living and working at the station.<br /> <br /> Lorenzo had already moved on to other cities to squander his fortune and his health on other non-commercial stations, but Jeremy and Laura Ellen had other plans. They wanted out of St. Louis, so they sold the station and got a startling amount of money for it. They were going west. They had bigger fish to electrify.<br /> And what they did there in Gilroy, California gave birth to Americana music. It was also the last gasp of the Sixties and a bit of history in its own right. And what a ride it was.</p> <p> </p>
