Tune in and turn on to this unheard tale from America’s counterculture. When Bob Fass sat down behind the microphone at New York City’s public radio station WBAI in 1963, his improvisational mixture of music and musings played like jazz. Though the show Radio Unnameable unfolded in the wee hours of the morning, its spontaneous vibe attracted the city’s most talented night owls; on any given night, Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, or Joni Mitchell might show up to play, and random callers always added to the chorus of voices. Well before the hippie movement blossomed into a full-blown national industry, Fass’s mellifluous innovations nurtured a thriving regional alternative scene, prompting folk performances, local activism, and spontaneous happenings . . . all the stuff that wouldn’t become de rigueur until 1967. Featuring moody archival footage and pristine recordings of Fass’s original broadcasts, this film will re-introduce you to an era you only thought you knew, while paying loving tribute to an invisible medium that may have vanished altogether.
