Dear Editor: While all Volvo drivers may have KWMU bumper stickers on their cars [see Tom Hoerr’s “In Your Ear,” March 1985], not all KWMU stickers have Volvo bumpers attached to them. Neighborhood Toyotas, Pontiacs and unidentifiable station wagons have all been seen with the subversive “A Classic Lover” message glued to their rear ends.
This infamous (since Mr. Hoerr’s column) sticker was designed by a member of Grace & Peace Fellowship (the Presbyterian church on the corner of Kingsbury and Des Peres).
The first ever KWMU FM 91 block party was held on that same corner, bringing well over 400 KWMU fans together. (For some odd reason KWMU records show that well over 15% of its listeners live within a mile of Skinker-DeBaliviere.) If there is a Neighborhood resident who has no idea what the fuss is all about, I invite you to call KWMU FM 91 at 553-5968 and request a complimentary copy of the monthly program guide (containing listings of FM 91’s news, classical and jazz programming).
As a special one-time offer for Tom Hoerr’s readers, anyone calling and identifying him/herself as an “In Your Ear” reader will be sent “A Classic Lover/KWMU” bumper sticker. Tell them your neighbor sent you. Susy Cheston KWMU Promotion Manager Neighborhood Resident
