Only 2 Episodes, arghhhhhhhh

Re: Rage Retro Week 2 info from Rage site - 12:21am start time

While I'm happy to see Flashez clips I'd prefer to see the ones that deal with culture/society in the 70's rather than interviews with pop stars. I think I'll have to put in a request for more non-interview Flashez segments in 2014.
