Star Time #226: Window Shopping
This week on your least unfavorite retro R&B show: novelty haircuts, sugar men, burning spears (but not Burning Spear), food stamps, insurance policies, body-switching, staying, leaving, instability, and comically long song titles. Just another day in the cockpit. But a good one.
