Star Time #134: Who's Got the Action
Sometimes I over-hype episodes of Star Time, in heroic but jocular attempts to alchemize self-promotion and self-effacement into a unified hybrid of persuasive esoterics. Most people suggest I just reactivate the Twitter account, but I still believe in the Barnum/Trump tradition of the slapdash codswallop. (Google it. I'm on a roll.) However, I'm being sincere when I say this is one of the better all-'60s episodes of Star Time, so if you take a spin with it, I will be honored. And so will you. High-five yourself like no one's watching.
