This episode is one of my all-time favorite
Star Time shows. I don't have a quantifiable reason for that statement. I don't even
really have a qualifiable reason. I don't know if it's the excellence of the songs, if they simply hang together well, or if it's my pre-scripted commentary on the Sammy Davis Jr. song "I'm Over 25 But You Can Trust Me." Regardless, this one's going in the time capsule, along with a Wordle screen shot, hibiscus tea mix, an air fryer, and the final shards of all earthly hope.
