Stuck In Thee Garage #268: April 26, 2019

A decade seems like a long period of time, but it doesn't take long for one to slip past. Seems like we were just getting ready to enter the teens of this century; now we're months away from 2020. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 2009 in hour 2. In the time since then, we've all gotten older and some of us have gone from fresh-faced comic relief on sitcoms to multiple-genre-dominating superstars (Hint: It's not Chevy):
