Synopsis: Legendary Houston rock radio station 101 KLOL FM broke new records, defined culture, attracted top music artists all while whipping listeners into a frenzy. Like an out-of-control locomotive, 101 KLOL seemed unstoppable until the government stepped in. Lyle Lovett, ZZ Top’s Dusty Hill, Melissa Etheridge, Sammy Hagar, King's X's Dug Pinnick and legendary drummer Carmine Appice, along with top DJs from across the US, reflect on how radio changed their lives, and the perils of finding rock music on the FM dial today.
