Star Time #87: Go Get a Wig
This week's show is a succulent blend of 33 herbs and spices. Especially herbs. The songs are from the years 1964 to 1976, and include needles in haystacks, back scratchers, outdated gender roles, rocking boats, USDA-certified prime women with backbones, low riders and, obviously, artificial hair tips from the easily agitated. Play this insanely fun batch of audio entertainment and no one gets hurt.
