Star Time #219: I've Got Witnesses
It's another round of R&B miscellany from the late '60s and early '70s. Well, just one '70. The first one. This symposium covers woodland parties, public transit, self-determinism, significying, street crossings, misunderstood youth, fire prevention, and a Last Poet (though I think I misidentified him as a "Lost" Poet -- maybe I didn't, but cognitive misfires like that are starting to happen frequently enough I assume they're just working independently these days). Enjoy the noise.
