Part 2: “Kill Lou Guzzo”
Seattle police begin enforcing the TDO, and youth are fighting back. Cops aggressively shut down a show at Gorilla Gardens--considered the birthplace of grunge--leading young punks to battle with bricks and Molotov cocktails. Another punk-rock riot tears apart the Kitsap Ferry. Artists resist creatively, but kids are arrested, shows are squashed, and young music fans suffer the most.
Listen to the official Let the Kids Dance! playlist on Spotify.
We can only make Let the Kids Dance! because listeners support us. You have the power! Make the show happen by making a gift to KUOW.
