Continuation of Lopez singing and playing guitar. LS of antennas and solar panels on rigs - then talk with Gold Man on his background and how he began living at the Slabs. “Slab City is probably one of the beneficial things to the country and society that I have seen in my lifetime…freedom.” His radio show is presently off the air; cutaways of debris and mattresses at Gold Man’s campsite, too.
