lotta little richard! woo hoo! a grand finale to season six of this here podcast!

Yow! Yeeow! It's our spine-tingling tribute to the musical magic of Richard Penniman, the self-titled Quasar of Rock 'n' Roll! Twenty titanic tracks programmed to scare off all the squares and 47 phanatics! Who wants 'em here anyhow--stinkin' up the place with their racism and assholery? Not eye.

There's a couple of familiar hits in this musical menu, but lotsa seldom-heard B-sides, chart failures, and overlooked gems from the commanding catalog of this gay icon and first-tier mover 'n' groover! Get your icebag ready--you'll need it to cool down in-between throttlin' tracks!
