In 1994, the comedy film Airheads popularized the legend of lovable losers taking over a radio station to promote their cause. But thirteen years earlier, five dudes from Deland, Florida had done just that. On August 6, 1981, members of the ILLO took WDIZ Rock 100-Orlando hostage. The answers to the questions of who these "Rock-n-Roll Commandos" were, how they did it, and most importantly, why they did it--have never seen the light of day. Until now. Dreams I'm Never Gonna See is the title piece in Brian Lee Knopp's take-no-prisoners, full-contact collection of personal essays. Whether dealing with a 1920s era Flapper ghost, shearing a sheep face-to-face with a live wolf, defending a creative madman and his magical cat, exploring underground Disney World circa 1979, or re-living the heydays of the central Florida music scene between 1975-1985, Knopp offers a hilarious and thoughtful first-hand account of a weird world that begs for his justification while promising personal redemption, yet fails entertainingly on both accounts.
