Episode #262: Hooked for Life

The 1970s are kind of the "home" decade for Star Time, or at least fight the 1960s for the title. Whenever I play an all-'70s show the joint practically levitates. This one is particularly satisfying. We have a lot of favorite personalities and some we had to wake up. (Note: Living Color is not the Living Colour of '80s fame.) (Also note: Linda Perry is not the Linda Perry of 4 Non-Blondes or songwriting fame.)
