Quiet Cosmic Thunder is a brief break in the usual programming on Mysterious Stranger, this episode is more a meditation, for mellow mornings, and quiet reflection. The Olympics hold a special place in my heart, right next to Carl Sagan, and I hope you'll forgive me for this mellow episode. We are back next week with extreme tropical dancing goodness, with a focus on 80's and some early 90's sounds.
