A Decade in Your Ear Part 1
1976
Wes Nisker
This two-part documentary is not just another collage of the late sixties and early seventies; it may well be the news-sound collage of that turbulent time: one that speaks the ideas of justice, freedom, and enlightenment with a passionate and authentic voice. Its music still carries the sense of momentous cultural and political upheaval and its voices still reverberate with amazing intensity and power. Originally produced in 1976, and reworked three years later into "The Last News Show," these documentaries have become a solid underground classic. Once considered too controversial for the public airwaves, A Decade in Your Ear can now be heard and appreciated as refreshing and exciting radio: collaging at its very best—and the only news show you can dance to.
