Episode #177: 99 44/100 Pure Love


Emerging from our annual Labor Day vacation with a renewed sense of exhaustion and an invigorating dread, we resume our normally scheduled program with a fence-to-fence binge of '60s R&B to stave off the feasting hordes. Featuring a babbling not-quite-psycho, a man and his harmonica, big cities, bunnies, repairmen, charlatans, an incomplete bar soap tagline, and a tribute to the late, great Toots Hibbert.
