Stuck In Thee Garage #399: November 12, 2021

Ah, 1981. It was a busy year. There were failed assassination attempts on the president and the pope, MTV made its debut, Post-It Notes were invented, and people (myself included) got all excited by a new portable cassette player called the Walkman. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1981 in hour 2, and if you crank it up loud, it'll be a hell of a day in the neighborhood.
