"The road can be hard on a kid if he's not careful." Those words, uttered by Bill Haley, were perhaps more prescient than he probably realized. This is last half of my interview with his son, Bill Haley Jr. This is also the third part of a sort of 3-part "mini-series" I did on Bill Haley's early life, career, and rise to fame, so if you missed the last couple episodes, I recommend going back and listening to them. Down the road we'll revisit Bill Haley and the Comets to see where they end up after they've been "dethroned" as the kings of rock by Elvis and Buddy Holly, but until then, enjoy the story of their ascendency (because all good things must come to an end...)
