Rickter Scale Show 203 - "Counterparts"

[Rick and Roll]

airing Sunday, November 23 from 8-11 PM EST and Monday, November 24 from 1-4 PM EST

I bought a really cool Rush shirt a long time ago, with a bunny rabbit sitting on top of a turtle. On the back are words that are counterparts...for awhile I've thought that it would be a show theme...and I've finally got around to it.
