Playlist for “Around The Fringe” - Freedum 250 Indie-pendence Edition 7/3/26

Back to my original radio stomping grounds of Around The Fringe, with another revolutionary rock edition on a July 4th weekend, which I've done a few of those over the years. Maybe most memorable was when DJ Scorpius Max joined me to do a live reading of the Declaration of Independence with some Hendrix black panther national anthem laying the soundtrack for it.

Around The Fringe is one of the original radiophonic flagships of the Cultural Liberation Front, heard via WYSO programming for well over four decades, my personal involvement including nearly half that time. The show pulls generously from It's All Happening playlists, which is no surprise as IAH itself fundamentally pulls from my decades of work with the Rev. Cool and Around The Fringe.
