IT BEGAN WITH TWO ANARCHISTS AND A PROMISE OF

FREE LAUNDRY 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.

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.


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. 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.
