Star Time #89: Heart of Gold
This week's show is an all-covers episode, the third such one we've done and the first since the all-Beatles-covers epic last year. This 2018 model concentrates on classic rock, with a couple of pop songs thrown in for good measure. We have multiple re-readings of the Stones, Dylan and the Bee Gees, along with one-offs of tunes by Cream, the Doors, James Taylor, the Who, Lou Reed, Black Sabbath, and you-better-believe-we-went-there Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. A highly decent expense of your time.
