Star Time #261: Stretchin' Out
We're doing a small series of chronological-order episodes. Last show was a 1950s episode; this one covers the always dependable 1960s. The next two shows cover the 1970s and 1980s. After that, there will be a major disruption in the Force. But that's down the road a piece. In the meantime, enjoy the soothing balm of the Swinging Sixties, complete with The Whoo Pee, Wack Wack, Gong Gong, Dilly Dilly, and whatever's in Uncle Willie's flask.
