Episode #218: Take a Trip

A sharp swing from last week's psychedelic wig-out to a simpler time when lawns were coiffed and beatniks were only just beginning to be less frightening to Avon ladies. I mean to say, 1959 to 1966. Featuring two Cooke brothers, a song called "A Song Called Soul," outrage, mini-metropolis noise abatement, outrage, revenge, policemen, zoos, two references to Arkansas (one indirect), flap jacks, corn chips, a mountain getaway, moochers, and clocks. The usual suspects.
