Episode 72: The Week Ending March 17, 1979 The Sultans of Freak

Release Date:

Don’t cry out loud, we know it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Maybe I’m a fool, or just falling for what a fool believes, but I once saw a leprechaun and gave chase. I don’t know
if it’s right, but I swear it’s got to be real, he was the greatest dancer that I’ve ever seen! This week we go stublin’ in to the Billboard Top 40 from the
Week of March 17, 1979. Heaven knows I miss the 70’s, so please take me home.
