I made a documentary, "WZZQ the Movie", about the 1970's rock radio station in Jackson Mississippi whose influence reached far beyond the state. If you like southern culture, the 70's or Dan Fogelberg it's worth a watch. Streaming on Mississippi Public Broadcasting + PBS www.pbs.org/video/wzzq-t....
