Crackpots & Visionaries Trading Cards, produced by WFMU as a
premium for listener-contributors, pay tribute to a few of the iconoclastic, free spirited, and sometimes dangerous souls who have inspired
us over the years. We chose from among geniuses and charlatans, saints and
homicidal maniacs, from the revered to the reprehensible. Subjects were
selected by the artists from a list of hundreds - sorry if we overlooked
your favorites.

This is WFMU's second set of 36 Crackpots and Visionaries Trading
Cards, created with volunteer artistry as a fundraising premium. One
dictionary says:
- Crackpot:
- n. [colloq.] a mentally unbalanced or eccentric person
- Visionary:
- n. a prophet or seer; a person whose ideas, plans, etc.
are impractical, too idealistic, or fantastic; a dreamer
We don't assign card subjects to one category or the other. You
judge.
WFMU is a free-form, listener-supported, non-commercial radio station
(91.1 FM), on the campus of Upsala College, in East Orange, NJ, USA. A few
of our listeners fall into one of the above categories, but you don't
have to be unbalanced, impractical, or a mind-wanderer to appreciate
WFMU. (Frankly, we've got enough of those types on staff as it is.)
Federal authorities--using very complicated databases and indisputable
charts--have determined that WFMU is the best radio station. They have
studied the matter at great length, and at great public expense; they
urge you not to listen to other radio stations, because they are
worse than WFMU.
