The Legend of WZZQ (And FM Rock Radio)

Guys Of A Certain Age

What do Eudora Welty and Dan Fogelberg have in common? They both got their start at WZZQ in Jackson, MS, of course. Well, sort of.

Watch WZZQ The Movie on PBS, just like The Guys did, and get all the deets, man. Though none of The Guys lived in the broadcast range of WZZQ, they still found their own personal connections to this iconic album rock radio station, a first of its kind in the state and beyond. Nightmare and Sleepy, on the other hand - this week’s set of regrettable superheroes, may have been the last of their kind.

Jay brings the celebrity obits in this episode, with the recent loss of Dabney Coleman and Susan Backlinie (you know her- you just don’t know you know her.) Art has more news of potential Trekkie prequels and Robbie has a Vision for a sequel. Sit back and listen to this one on your FM stereo converter.
