Episode #45: Key to the Highway


This is the last everyday, basic, meat-and-potatoes, Triscuits-and-spray-cheese Star Time of the year, as next week we're having an '80s show and we're wrapping up the year with the Christmas show after that. So here's yer standard but sturdy soul revue for the week, featuring indiscriminate lumping, honky tonk popcorn, a manifesto, some quality wootie-te-woo, electric frogs, hippy snakes, DY-NO-MITE!, and something from Archie Bell & the Drells. They're from Houston, Texas. And they not only sing, but they dance just as good as they walk.
