Star Time #32: Stop, I Don't Need No Sympathy
Good night, sweet Star Time Love Machine: The laptop responsible for all episodes of Star Time up through last week met with an early departure. Star Time #32 is the first show produced with the Star Time Love Machine II. It's older, crankier and less accustomed to chaos, but it gets the job done and looks good doing it. This week's show is a little more reserved, befitting the scholastic and romantic end of summer, but it's still sex-ay. Highlights: Urges, success, a gigolo, the sly, slick and the wicked, "demetions," the greatest anti-wedding song ever, and Al Green.
