I didn't reasd this thread til just now.Though I've never had access to Pacifica radio as a Midwesterner,
Gene Sculati sent me some of hius shows on tape from his
program called Unprovoked Attack. This to me was the epitome
of what cool radio could be. He did music (rhythm and blues,
punk, snippets of stuff) and he had a regular cast of players
as well. Classic bits include The Jim Morrison Seance and
interview with Richard Frank "The Man Of a Million Tunes"
which included playing "I Was So Wasted" by Black Flagg as an
accordian solo.
Where are they now?
