Star Time #110: The Goat

Some have asked where I get the "titles" for Star Time episodes. How do I come up with them? Do they mean anything? Are they part of some cosmological rebus in which one part is useless without the others? The answer to the first question: Your average Star Time episode name is simply the title of a song that appears on the show. The answer to the last two questions is "no." But "The Goat" is both a song from this show, plus an extension of a private joke that started with my good friend Harvey Sid Fisher, continued with my good friend Ian, and was thought left for dead when we all became too old to continue private jokes. Either that or it's a diabolical reminder of the beast within us all. Your choice. Here's some R&B music.
