Austin is known world wide for hippies, music and politics which definitely makes for a diverse "Keep Austin Weird" local culture. As George Bush went from the Governor's mansion in Austin to the White house in Washington there was a new wind blowing through the Live Music Capitol of the World.
This film follows the path of the Austin Music Community over a period of 11 years and how artists, musicians and filmmakers succeeded in creating an audience for original homespun television music network but was shackled when given the dubious task of turning a politically charged Public Access Channel (said to be the FIRST Public Access Channel in America) into a "for profit" entity featuring Music and Arts on a 24/7 basis supported by advertising.
Held together by shoe strings, Shiner beer and cigarettes, the passionate community of radio, television and film devotees fight against the lure of big business.
