Stuck In Thee Garage #430: June 24, 2022

Thirty years ago, Hollywood's idea of a dystopian future featured Mick Jagger as a mercenary who captures people about to die in the early '90s and brings them to oh-so-futuristic 2009, where they serve as substitute bodies for rich people. And clearly, they predicted everything correctly. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1992 in hour 2.
