Punk Rock Promoter to Toy Store Legend: Terry Taylor's Wild Journey (Ep 20)

In this must-listen episode of the Terror 29 Podcast, Zac chats with living legend Terry Taylor of 1313 Mockingbird Lane Toys & Collectibles in Lawrence, KS. Terry shares his epic backstory—from growing up as a misfit punk/metal kid in 1980s Sioux Falls, booking early Green Day gigs at 15, playing bass in bands, promoting massive shows, surviving the music industry's ups and downs, to pivoting into a medical career before launching his dream toy store packed with horror, vintage, and pop culture gems. Packed with wild stories (like a car crashing into Ernie November), heartfelt reflections on community support through tough times like COVID, and insights into running an indie shop with heart, this conversation celebrates passion, resilience, and the magic of collecting.
