Star Time #193: Do It, Fluid
It's a modest, medium-effort, almost salaciously casual investigation of semi-obscure 70s R&B this week. We find a man in our bed, we learn how to love, we get moderate nerve damage, we let septuagenarians get behind the wheel, we take it to the streets and go around yelling things like "Wango Wango." Just another Wednesday, in other words.
