1 a.m.: 1970 Alternative Media Conference The Alternative Media Conference took place at Goddard College from June 17th through June 20. The original Alternative Media Conference brought over 1,700 innovative FM radio DJs, a new breed of record company promoters, underground newspaper reporters, Freek Brothers cartoonist Gilbert Shelton, Baba Ram Dass, Rolling Stone photographer Robert Altman, 60s radical Jerry Rubin, Founder of Mad Magazine Harvey Kurtzman, the Hog Farm Collective and many others all the way to Plainfield. This conference covered topics including women in the media, black-oriented radio and low-budget films.
2 a.m.: Ray Bradbury From Pacifica Radio's "From the Vault." In our first talk from 1964 Ray Bradbury who at this point had published his most noteworthy books, The Martian chronicles, Fahrenheit 451 and The Illustrated Man. But this interview by Francis Roberts was right on the heels of his 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes. This talk is appropriately called The World of Ray Bradbury as he clearly traces the motivation for his unique writing style from his childhood to the present. In this next speech delivered at the International Colloquium on Mars in December 1973, Bradbury reflects on the literary and visionary masters before him that inspired him as a child to dream. He implores each of us to set popular culture aside for a moment so that we can focus on our own dreams. It is these dreams that will help us evolve here on Earth and One day.... navigate the stars.
