Rock Follies S02E01 · The Band Who Wouldn't Die

Overview

The band are on another pub tour, this time without any manager. Harry Moon, a fan and songwriter, becomes the band's new musical driving force—although now the girls are writing many of their own songs too. To make ends meet, they do a musical ad for a range of frozen foods called 'Wonder Woman', whose brand image is that of female liberation—though this comes in the consumerist form of microwave ready meals. Moon knows an established rock star Stevie Streeter, and arranges for the band to meet him with a view to becoming his support act. Streeter's act is described as 'sub-Springsteen concept rock', but the reality is far worse.
