Star Time #256: The Charge
Getting stuck in the '60s has never been this pneumatic. This episode features a solo Nick Ashford, a fractional band, an accidental religious moment, a very young Daryl Hall, some Martini's, two Wellses, and a Muddy Waters cover of a Stones song that, to quote Amadeus, is "a funny little tune, but it yielded some good things."
