“If you were a teenager around Pittsburgh in the mid-’60s, there was only one DJ on the air you could count on for a wild-and-ruckus rock ‘n’ roll show: Mad Mike Metrovich! Devil-may-care Mad Mike never had to adhere to a square corporate playlist. Mad Mike searched high and low for the fastest, loudest and weirdest rock he could find. He was a king maker for Tommy James, and he gave a lot of obscure but talented rockers a chance they’d have never gotten elsewhere. Here are 18 greats and WZUM promos from Mad Mike’s vault.”
