Rewind & Rock with Sharon Stewart: Chilling Promoters, Dodged Tragedies, and Close Calls

British Invasion icons The Kinks land in Illinois during their very first American tour on this day in 1965, completely unaware that a local civic organizer booking the gig would go on to become one of the most terrifying figures in American criminal history. We revisit a profoundly eerie rock and roll brush with darkness, and the gut instinct that kept the legendary band out of a bad situation after the house lights went down. Tap to find out how a simple rock tour stops just short of an absolute true-crime horror story.Stream Mega Rock anytime on the MegaRockPA app or at MegaRockPA.comPodcast Footer:Thanks for tuning in to Mega Rock On Demand!   Don’t forget to subscribe for more of the Rock Report with Sharon Stewart, Music News and Hollywood Minute with Pat Urban and more! Follow us on social media @MegaRockPA for more music content and exclusive giveaways.
