Hosts Laura Wexler and Jessica Henkin share some of their favorite Rock & Roll stories from The Stoop Storytelling Series, all told live in Baltimore, MD.

Mimi Dietrich and her quilting friends wind up in an elevator with two bananas and more tattoos than she'd ever seen in Hershey, PA. Terry Sapp follows his favorite Hair Metal band on tour decades after their heyday. Jeff Eline's high school rock group does their best at a Battle of the Bands. We encounter fans and fanatics of Journey, Kansas, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, The Cure, Twisted Sister, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
