Star Time #237: Half the Day's Gone and We Haven't Earned a Penny



'80s Atonement episodes (two episodes each year when I play only '80s R&B) are weird. It's like I'm subbing my own show. I don't recognize a lot of these songs with their Vocoders and their gated reverb and their Yamaha DX7 horns. That's what I get for falling into a vat full of hair gel as a teenager. Anyway, here's the December '21 '80s Atonement episode. Of course Prince is on it. Still no Whitney though. I blame myself.
