Star Time #128: Potato Salad

Welcome back. Summer's over, at least in the bank holiday sense of the word, and thus Star Time returns to its usual unstructured party mix made with a lot of love and a touch of seasonal affective disorder. We start off with two songs which declare that you "got the power," then move on to songs that question your motives, accuse you of misdirection, beg you for release, and ultimately turn you into an automaton. In fact Bo Diddley comes right out and says he just doesn't like you. Don't take it personal. Adjusting to autumn is always tough.
