Episode #241: Tidal Wave


It's a tsunami of soul on this week's episode of Star Time, and clearly time for me to up my metaphor game. "Squall of soul"? "Tempest of soul"? "Nor'easter of soul"? "Lenticular cloud of soul"? We'll put a suggestion box by the water cooler; use it but don't steal it this time. This week we concentrate on the 1970s, and some of the more obscure contributors who gave the decade its subterranean elan. Includes farewells to Sidney Poitier and (unexpectedly) Meat Loaf, and one more distant wave to Ronnie.
