Tom Lodge lived the real story of 'Pirate Radio'
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - On Easter Sunday in 1964, Tom Lodge and his friends found themselves aboard an old ferry ship anchored a bit more than three miles off the southeastern coast of Great Britain.

Neat observation from the article:
"The movie has the owner of the station played by actor Billy Nighy, who is 60. Ronan was 24 years old. We were all just kids. We all had 32-inch waists or less. I don't think there was a waist in the film under 40."
I have had a 40" waist since I was 18 so that shoots that down the drain. :lol:

Anybody seen it yet? It got a very lukewarm review in the paper here.

I have already put it on my Netflix list. I doubt if Amy and I go to the theater to watch it.
