Star Time #211: What's a Nice Kid Like You Doing in a Place Like This?
It's an all-'60s show this week. Monkey dogs, rehab, incarcerations, voodoo misspelled, Baltimoreons, Cincinnatians, shotguns plus ducks, girls named after Swiss lakes, girls compared favorably to steak sauce, and other relatable topics. Also look for another '60s pop reference to Alice in Wonderland that's a bit funkier and less foreboding than "White Rabbit."
