Demonstration against KPMX [handbill, together with two "Long Live KPMX" flyers]

San Francisco; Berkeley: Save KMPX Campaign, 1979. Handbill. Three items protesting the "mainstreaming" of the radio station, which had in fact already been significantly altered from its freeform days of a decade earlier. Two of the items are fold-creased but otherwise intact; the last, an 8.5x14 inch mailed, is not only folded but has staple holes and some soiling.

The flyer announcing a picket line outside the station in SF depicts a fist breaking through the floor as three monkeys (covering their eyes, ears, and mouth) staff the reworked radio station; a poster on the wall declares the boss, Stan Gurrell, Wanted for "Piggery." One of the flyers states that Bing Crosby had been a supporter of the campaign and was slated to do a fundraiser for it before his death.
