Stuck In Thee Garage #548: October 4, 2024

Forty years ago, the Cold War was still going strong, the drinking age went up to 21 in the U.S. and everybody was saying, "Where's the beef?" This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1984 in hour 2, in addition to new music from John Davis, Bleeding Star, Franz Ferdinand and Lucius. It'll rock you like a hurricane, or even like Gene Simmons playing the bad guy in a Tom Selleck movie.
