Star Time #105: Go 'Head On
This week's show -- rather, last week's show, getting around to it late because I've been up to my sternum in spreadsheets -- features a slightly longer time arc than usual: 1957-69. We also pay tribute to the dearly departed Andre Williams, who's probably in heaven right now trying to explain the art of sleaze to seraphim.
