Star Time #138: Hit It and Pass It
This week we're in a pleasant, calm-inducing '70s haze. Areas of study include a set full of cats and dogs living together wrapped up in controlled explosions, Jimmy Castor's continued examinations of pre-historic anthropology, retail passion, gambling expeditions, a course in miracles, internal dialogues about human need, and an extended pot joke from R&B's finest Communists which I don't endorse unless there's money in it.
