Tonight on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading into the mysterious skies above Westall High School, where a famous Australian UFO encounter still leaves plenty of questions lingering in the atmosphere. We’ll also step back to a Miami drugstore in 1951, where a pharmacist’s hypnosis sessions had customers doing crazy things There’s a little World of Swank to put in your diary, and a Deep thought…..All that, wrapped in a little exotica, a touch of the mysterious, and some seriously cool sounds. So pour yourself something sophisticated, settle in, and join me, Koop Kooper, for another edition of Cocktail Nation.

Success is like trying to eat a hard-shell taco in a fancy white shirt. No matter how carefully you plan your strategy, how tightly you hold it together, or how sophisticated you try to look while doing it, something is guaranteed to fall out of the bottom and make a mess. Real success isn't eating the taco cleanly—it’s learning how to catch the falling cheese with your napkin and keeping a straight face while you chew.
