We have to apologize for the long break we took between episodes. Although it might have seemed that we decided to take the money and run, the truth is we just had quite a bit of a love hangover after season 1. Have no fear though, because mama mia today’s the day we tear the roof off the sucker. This week were making all our dreams come true as we revisit the happy days and listen to the good vibrations from the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending June 26, 1976. Yes, the boys are back in town!
