Mojito Day & Nostalgia

The conversation meanders through various topics, starting with a discussion about mojitos and reminiscences of the 1960s. We reflect on the changes in studio behavior over the years, including smoking and drinking. We also discuss the generational divide, with some remembering the 1960s and others not. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s criteria and inductions are debated, with specific mention of Jethro Tull and Dolly Parton. The segment concludes with a humorous take on the fall season and local statistics about second home vacancies in Bangor, highlighting a housing shortage due to high demand for vacation homes.
