Pirate Radio

1966
The greatest era for British 
Rock and Roll.
The Beatles, The Stones, The Who

And yet, official British Radio
won't even play 
an hour of rock and roll a day

But Pirate Radio ships
beam rock music around the clock.
They are anchored off the coast of Britain

and

25 million people, half the British population
listen to them every day!

Above, is the link to a wonderful, heartfelt, quirky and joy-inducing ( especially if you were a teenager in 1966) movie, that's based on a true story. The actors are perfectly cast...especially Philip Seymour Hoffman as the main DJ..and Kenneth Branagh is hilarious as the politician who is working to shut the ships down.

It is from the writer/director of Love Actually...and it will inspire you, make you chuckle and give you inspiration. I got it from the library..don't miss seeing it..it will lighten your heart during the Feb. blahs.
