Star Time #50: Take That to the Bank
Milestones: the popularly accepted measurement standard of how long people let you get away with shit. This is Star Time's 50th episode, and as such you deserve to hitchhike down that paper trail with me. This week's show features some of my favorite songs from the first 49 installments, and is officially the first time any single recording--in this case, 30--has been featured for a second time on Star Time. Relive the most gloried moments of our first 18 months. Relive them hard. Thank you and keep those cards and letters coming.
