    There are just so many little things to love about this video.
    "Chinese noodalls"
    Fred in glasses
    Keith dissapears
    Kate flips off her shoe
    Fred not wanting to fool anyone into thinking he could play that keyboard
    Ricky loves computers
    Just one of the best videos/songs.

    The nicest band I've ever had the pleasure to hang out with backstage! They all were so friendly and accommodating after playing a sold-out show here in San Francisco on the "Cosmic Thing" tour. Ricky, of course was no longer here. They kept giving me beer after beer and they just liked talking to me and my partner, Louie that night. They signed my CD, which was kind of a novelty back in the day because a bunch of people had them signing their 12 inch album! The fact that I brought my CD with me seemed to really amuse them (CD's were still very new at the time)! My backstage pass is still plastered on my CD! Super nice people!!!

      I'm old enough now to have seen a fair number of their shows in the early and mid '80s. If you haven't checked it out already, you can get a real feel for her (I've adored her for those almost 40 years!) by watching the 11/7/80 Cap Theater concert clip. It has Give Me Back My Man and much, much more. Pure Cindy magic!
