Boston's Original Rock Radio: WBCN Documentary in the Works

It’s been years since the eponymous WBCN radio graced the airwaves but its legacy has not been forgotten. During the golden era of underground stations, WBCN was belting out its message of revolution during the civil rights times of 1968 to 1974. Keeping the nostalgia alive, curator Bill Lichtenstein has compiled a vast library of archival footage for a new documentary film about the station and the time it affected. “We’ve received more than 50,000 pieces of memorabilia, donated by people across the country…we’re counting on this nationwide enthusiasm — from both those who were there and from young people inspired by what WBCN meant,” Lichtenstein said. Like many other artists today, Bill has taken to the internet with a call to arms. The project will be funded by those who care about it most on Kickstarter.com

Even famed Boston Red Sox pitcher, Bill “Spaceman” Lee has signed on to help the project in its homerun stretch before its Monday, December 19th deadline. Earlier today he sent out this blast:

FortLeft reports on watching Lee and the Brockton Rox yesterday - but adds that just as great was getting a ball autographed by first baseman Melvin Falu.

Think "municipal finance" and Bill Lee probably won't be the first person to come to mind. But there he was today at the Massachusetts Municipal Association meeting at the Hynes, where Paul Keleher photographed him.
