It was almost 35 years ago when the first and most important radio show in Greece was born on national radio. It was – and it still remains – the show that brought rock and pop music to the Greek audience. The record decks were manned by radio producer Yannis Petridis. Back then he was a young man full of passion for music. His dream was to travel to every corner of the world through the music and lyrics he adored. Now he’s a member of the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame, one of the biggest record collectors and a national guru for Greek Radio, who forever changed the way his audience listened to music. By following his life’s work and through his personal narrative, we get a glimpse of the social and political changes that have taken place in Greece over the last four decades. A fascinating musical journey, starting from his hometown of Piraeus, to the empty highways of Los Angeles and finally to the streets of San Francisco.
