Star Time #104: Fool's Wonderland
This week we're stuck in the '70s. More so than usual, that is. We have a true smasher of a lineup, including a pimp, a mock Himalayan, Swamp Dogg's compounded frustrations, understudies, mafia threats, NASA output, and Saturday Night Fever. More so that usual, that is.
