documentary
Straightforward piece on Bob Fass and WBAI...New York's hippie dippie free form station. He started a late night show in the late 50's and was a pivotal figure in shepherding the 60's into being.
Many events shown trace the history of the counter-culture movement...from the sweet "fly-in" at Kennedy airport in the early 60's to the brutal Chicago and NYC police riots that represented the establishment kicking back and stomping the young peoples' dreams into the pavement.
Times changed, the station changed. At this point it all looks so glowy and nostalgic...but there was a time, a brief time, when many thought the world could be wrestled from the militarists and set on a better path. Twas so long ago...
