Sharrock

"Sharrock" is the fifth episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast season three, and the twenty-third overall. It aired on March 1, 1996 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Michael Cahill, Keith Crofford, Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer, Matt Harrigan, Khaki Jones, Mike Lazzo, Matt Maiellaro, Andy Merrill, and Dave Willis.

Space Ghost plans to interview Fred Cracklin (really musician Thurston Moore), although he is delayed by blatantly long pieces of music by and dedicated to Sonny Sharrock and Lance Carter.
