The surviving members of the B52s are still doing great shows. I saw them play London maybe six years ago now. Wonderful! But for all the laid back, cruise through life vibe that Kate and her band mates convey never forget that when they started out these guys would drive from Atlanta to New York every weekend to play CBGBs (about 18 hours each way), probably in a vehicle that was too small and couldn't be fully trusted to make it to the first state line. A lot of determination, hard work and raw talent went into all that laid backness and great music. Thank you guys. Would love to visit lazy Meadows one day.

The B-52's are simply a unique, one-of-a-kind group, would be nearly impossible to replicate it on purpose. Each member of the group brought a unique quality. Not many groups that have that sort of dynamic. Fleetwood Mac perhaps is like this as well, where each member stands on their own yet the whole group together is unique. The B-52's style is certainly all it's own, brought on by each member being themselves.

swtv1754 I understand that with Ricky’s passing after the album was made that the band was devastated. They didn’t tour for the album and didn’t do any promotional stuff. I feel like the band was solid on the album and the ballads on the album are incredible. Their whimsical and edgy flavor still shows through. Surely it would have done better under different circumstances. This album set up their next one Cosmic Thing which went on to be the most successful commercially. I truly wish Ricky was still with us as his killer guitar and bass would have lead to even more great music. I’m just thankful they stayed together and have toured for so long. I try to catch their shows whenever possible. I think all of their albums are underrated especially Satellites.

Not going to lie, I could never stand this song when it was released. I still cannot stand it to this day. Good video once again on the origins of the song, still will watch it if i like the song or not.

Yep...I can't stand the song - so cheesy, but I'm viewing this to learn to appreciate other peoples' taste. Every1 I know loves this song ...so the fact it makes people happy means I have an opportunity to be less judgememtal - & see it through their eyes.

Show was what anyone who knows the music & lsd would expect. Dizzying moments...Byrne played a giant, white Martin F-55 on Psycho Killer, for several bars Frantz's face was framed in crook of his right arm. Eye contact was nuts, couldn't look away and I thought the fucking roof was going to fly off the place. Third row center. Local Transistors, fun to watch, sucked. Guaranteed, at least half the 1485 seat venue was or could have been tripping. Everyone was high, like it or not hotbox. Denver's Rainbow Music Hall is worth reading about. Saw a dozen $2 shows.

VladR1024 I just ignore guys like that. He’s irrelevant. I’ve actually stayed in Kate’s motel in the Catskills. It’s really cool and in a great area, near the Phoenicia river. I love that area of NY. Many great musicians live up there still including Dr. Know, the guitarist from Bad Brains, he actually works at this great Heath food supermarket on the road between Woodstock and Phoenicia. Also, regarding the song, I’ve always liked the song. It’s fun, campy like all their songs.
@sspbrazil 4 жыл бұрын
Walter White you are obviously the troll. Because I stayed in Kate’s motel in the Phoenicia doesn’t mean I’m friends with her genius. Anyone can stay there and it’s in a great area of the Catskills. Never been to fire island, sounds like you know more about it than me. Yeah, I love Joni Mitchell’s music too. Thanks for adding that. Your last comment was too incomprehensible to reply to, you might want to sort yourself out and actually form an intelligent comment before trolling.
