Good evening, my friends. This is the new Alison Steele, the Nightbird, flying high with you on WNEW-FM. The night is dark and full of mystery, but also full of music that will light up your soul. Music that will make you feel, think, and dream. Music that will take you on a journey through time and space. Tonight, I have a special treat for you. A playlist of songs that I have handpicked for your listening pleasure. Songs that reflect the spirit of the late '60s and early '70s. Songs that are progressive, creative, and daring. Songs that speak to the heart of the counterculture and the human condition. As I always do, I will start with a poem that sets the mood for the night.

And for a while, he was just another voice in the counterculture ether... until that night. A mysterious broadcast. A desert. A Blue Bus. And then... silence. Five years later, a tape surfaced, as strange and cryptic as the man himself. It promised answers, but only left more questions. What really happened in the desert that night? Who—or what —was behind that voice? Tonight, we revisit the legend. The music. The mystery. This is th...

  COMING NEW YEARS EVE (Radio Static, then this...) "Once, there was a man… A voice on the airwaves that called to the restless, the dreamers, the wanderers.
