Raspy, you are skating on very thin ETS ice here. Once again, and once more please read the ETS forum rules and courtesys.

I personally listen to a great many alternative news sources of many political bent. It's not unlike that elephant and the blind men describing it. And the annual listing of the top censored stories in the media is always good reading.

I was standing mid watch on the old decommissioned cutters Winona and Minnetonka.
I was turning the dial on my pocket FM radio and discovered KPFA of the Pacifica Foundation. It's a melee' of leftist opinion mixed with folk music.

So I come home and listen to it's sister L.A. station KPFK. And one day in the middle of Mario Cassetta playing some gawd awfull gutteral throat music by Mongolian shepherds the station WENT DEAD for two hours.

Rumours of a government assault flew faster than Venice Beach rollerskating girls in bikinis past rastafarian musicians, red Che' tshirt vendors and black helicopters.

What actually ensued, was old Mario ran out to his car in the middle of a set for some Quebeca folk music and locked himself out of the station in those pre cellphone days.
