Bay City Rolling Part 2

Episode notes

We continue the search for the Fake Zombies in Bay City, Michigan, and uncover the roots of the band’s management company, Delta Promotions, all thanks to a chance encounter with the prom date of one of its founders. Later, we introduce the opening act for the Fake Zombies tour, Gordon Thayer and we speak with Mike Campbell, lead guitarist in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, to follow up on a rumor that he and Tom saw the Fake Zombies as teenagers.
