Stuck In Thee Garage #570: March 7, 2025

Monarchy seems like such an outdated notion, but there are still kings out there and there are certainly world leaders who want to be kings. Regardless, there are many songs about kings and I played some of them in hour 2 of this week's installment of Stuck In Thee Garage. I also paid tribute to the late great David Johansen and played some hot new rippers from Model/Actriz, Fontaines D.C., Preoccupations and The Men in hour 1.
