Song for a Future Generation

I am sure I am shamelessly trying to recapture my youth - something I will most likely fail at miserably - but this morning I purchased tickets to see the B-52s at the House of Blues.


So far they are only scheduled to play 10 dates, and we're one of them. I almost had to do this, as I have never seen them before!!! Shut Up! I know!!!!!

And really, when will I have another chance?

I know they have a new disk coming out later this month (warning: expect to see it as a Record of the Month), but I'm sure the concert will be filled with classics. I don't mean "Love Shack", "Roam" or "Rock Lobster" (overdone) classics - though I'm sure they will play them - but I'm hoping for "Planet Claire", "Dance This Mess Around" "Legal Tender", "Housework" and "Mesopotamia".

If I don't have sit through their song from the Flintstones movie, I'll be ok.

But that did get me thinking - it's their first disk in 16 years, though that was Good Stuff, their only disk I never got. No Ricky. No Cindy. No good.

Now Cindy is back. And I do love her and Kate's harmonies. Fred is Fred and there's not much you can do with that voice. But I do love the girls.

So, I do go on-line exactly at 10a to buy the tix. Only General Admission floor are available. No seats....standing/dancing only. The old man in me came out and thought 'WTF', but then I thought, really - who is going to sit at a B-52s concert?

g-d, I hope it doesn't suck. I figure it will either be brilliant, or horrid. Probably no in-between.

LOL Curtis!

I must admit to hating their new Funplex song. I so want to like it, but just can't.

Hearing their classics should be fun. A bunch of us saw them at Vets around 1990 - weren't you part of that, Blob? No sitting - lots 'o dancin'!
