Oedipus' Message To Thailand: "Freedom Is Not Easy, Democracy Is Not Easy"
When I started one of the first punk rock record labels in America back in the late '70s, most rock radio stations laughed at our records and refused to play them. The first big station outside of the San Francisco Bay Area to play the 415 Records artists was WBCN in Boston. We went from being a label that measured sales in various Bay Area neighborhood stores to suddenly shipping boxes of albums to stores in Boston, Worcester and New Hampshire. And, because WBCN was such a huge and successful station, other stations around the country started playing the records as well.
