A shining example of the DIY ethic: busker for 10 years-plus, activist/artist for various causes, and co-founder of Free Radio Santa Cruz.

Phil Free updated this Carol Denney classic originally written for Free Radio Berkeley because "parts of it weren't topical anymore." Since then Freak Radio's changed channels and there's a new president - but the rest of the tune still works.

Sing along - here's the lyrics:

My radio is trying to stay in line
But it got sick of Monica all the time
And I really didn't care where the president stuck his dick
Screw the FCC, set your radio free

Set your radio free, yeah
Screw the FCC, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free
Set your radio free, yeah
Blow up your TV, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free

My radio is oozin' corporate slime
Endless propaganda all the time
So I hit it with a pickaxe and it works better now
Screw the FCC, set your radio free

Set your radio free, yeah
Screw the FCC, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free
Set your radio free, yeah
Blow up your TV, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free

My radio is oozin' doom and gloom
Playing all those corporate tunes
Endless music doesn't mean a fuckin' thing
Screw the FCC, set your radio free

Set your radio free, yeah
Screw the FCC, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free
Set your radio free, yeah
Blow up your TV, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free

Now my radio's on 96.3
I can hear what it is tellin' me
People can take control of their own destiny
Screw the FCC, set your radio free

Set your radio free, yeah
Screw the FCC, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free
Set your radio free, yeah
Blow up your TV, yeah
Set your radio, set your radio free

(repeat chorus)
