0.07 (Linear feet)

Dusty Street, one of the first female FM rock DJs, has been a rock radio host for over 40 years. She worked at San Francisco's KSAN and Los Angeles' KROQ during rock radio's freeform glory years. She has also been one of radio's most outspoken personalities, especially about the attempts by such groups as the Parents Music Resource Center to apply a rating system to rock music lyrics. Street currently hosts weekend shifts on Sirius' Classic Vinyl channel and has a podcast, <title render="italic">Fly Low Show</title>, in which she relives the musical freedom of her early years as a DJ.

The Dusty Street Collection includes 15 handwritten and typed playlists from Street's work as a DJ at the following radio stations: KTIM (San Francisco, California), KROQ (Los Angeles, California), and STAR 102.7. Three playlists are unidentified. Also included in the collection is a KMPX (San Francisco, California) staff photograph by Baron Wolman, inscribed to Street from Wolman. Seen as a whole, the collection provides data regarding popular music trends during the 1970s and 1980s, specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area.
