Let’s take it back an even 50 years when the only way to escape a little thing called Watergate was Top 40 radio. Pull up some space on the shag carpeting next to your buddies at Balcony Radio for Lesson 157 of the 101 Series. This time out, we’re scanning the dial for the best music of the year 1972. You won’t need a pardon to enjoy this one.
