Dear Rainbow People,

I got into the whole cultural political trip because one day WKNR (may it rest in peace), played "Kick Out the Jams" seven times during one show and I was a high energy addict ever since. I've been missing that music a lot and then today I read your paper. Tell Frank Bach I love him for assuring me that hard rock lives--AND WILL LIVE FOREVER! ! ROCK ON! !

Reading your paper brought back floods of memories. I always dug the Argus and Sundance, having had subs to both at various times. I dug them 'cause they dealt with the happy things like smoking dope and listening to music as well as with serious things like self-defense and politics. Most papers are more like text books than life culture papers now--what with their 8 page articles on godknowswhatall. Any how I really realized how deeply I was into Michigan" attitudes. I always dug John's theories, too, especially about the Indians. I also dug the WPP, in its time and got a few people into that . They in turn got to others. . . . that good kind of reaction. Yeah.

As soon as I can, I'll try to come up and visit some afternoon. Ann Arbor has always seemed a kind of Mecca or sacred place to me. . . . if you can imagine that. I'd really dig seeing it for real ( the only time I was there was for a football game with my parents, if you can dig THAT!)

Love,

Keep on smiling, Trucking, And all that near stuff, In the struggle,

Dear Larry Rock (WNRZ),

Thought that I would drop you a few lines and let you know what is going on here--Not a hell of a lot, for sure!

I've really been digging your show and I thought that maybe you could dig it if I told you that the captive freeks are really into your gig Monday through Friday here. You come on the air about 8pm and they leave it on until 11pm and then they switch to WJR--uuuaagghh.

I was really let down to hear about the poor support of the summer concert program. I am sending $2. I would send more but that is all I have, man. Wages are not cool at all here and it is almost impossible to panhandle. Ha!

Your station takes me back home as it reminds me a lot of KSAN in S. F.

Thanks a lot brother and kick 'em out. Tell my brothers and sisters I love them and I will be out this July.

Rainbow--Let it grow!
