    They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...it's ridiculous that they aren't.

      Lost the Grammy win to Linda Ronstadt 🧐 after just rebounding from losing their founder to AIDS. Grammys are hopeless. RRHOF needs Devo and B52s. 🫤

      Unfucking unbelievable . They're not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ? They're the epitome of fun , probably the single greatest feature of rock n roll and how it is differentiated from other forms of music is FUN .

    These guys are Legend! with all the tools we have today no one can make music like it was made in the 70s,80s..these guys had to endure trying to make it in the business competing with many many great bands, jamming in the garage or anywhere is still the best receipt to create great music, original sounds,etc. God bless The B-52`s , one of the greatest of all time and I`m so greatfull to have grown up around that time.

      ​@familycardcollectors6519 Ricky Wilson died on 12 October 1985. The B52s took 2 years off and returned in 1988 with the LP Bouncing Off Satellites, then Cosmic Thing in 1989. Love Shack went to No 1 in November 1989. Good Stuff in 1992

    I saw them at the Bayou club in D.C. in 1979. We all knew we were listening to the the real deal-so much fun! At the break, Fred came up to me and asked me where I got the bowling shirt I was wearing. I gave them a list of local thrift stores. They invited me and my friends to a round of beers. Thanks again!!

    I remember throwing paper cups of water at the next door neighbors roof when would go up on the roof to watch the bulldawgs throught the hedges. and Wendy-O would scare all of to death when she would cut the grass wearing nothing but a black tape bikini I would slip through her back yard and she would scream come here you little bas@@$ I don't know who told her that I was the one who would get some of her gas for my gokart.
    You it would all ways blow my mind as wild and crazy as she would act when she would chase me down the sidr walk, her and my mother would sit on the porch or go to the tea room and Wendy was intelligent smarter than you would think she was.
    And she would talk to my mother about her giving me to her ans then when ever my mother go to get something from kitchen she would threaten me for stealing her gas or that time I put grease all over here porches and steps her and some other just tour the world down and that time I found that lock and put it on the door of that shed Oh she was pist hell I was only 9, or ten.
    My dad owned some old houses all over the place and if he though you were going live in athens he would sale you a house.
    I remember my Dad seller a house to this Couple for $500 dollars, you know they still live in that house.
    It was crazy how people everyone had a garden in the back yard or people would buy everything and someone would work to cann everything out of the garden to put up to have food, My Mother had several houses and one of those house was one of them where you could look through the hedges and watch the foot ball game. I live downtown or if me and my brothers would go home to either my moms or dads it just determined how much trouble we were in.
    I could get a ride out to commerce road and watch wrestling or top head linners at the J&J center on 441 or the top bands of the local georgia bands at the Nightowl bar and longe, or bulldogs up there behind the athens bakery at the bar where there was no telling who might wakeup from a drunken comma.
    The first time I ever seen I think it was dwight yokom I don't know how to spell his name.
    But I remember he was wild as hell and could ring the hell out of his guitar. but he smelled like a rotten dumpter foull of whiskey bottles
    Oh remember the blue Restaurant the first veg restaurant and right up the street was the first Rcade I seen.
    And the DairBarn in Comer where I would get a brain freeze right before my straw would get stopped up with a strawberry.
    I should be ashame, hell I am ashame, I live in the stinking desert of arizona where the place is nothing but evil.
    I sure do miss my sweet sweet city of Athens, where the democrats would whip your ##@ for doing something and not being sweet and honest and straightup.
    And my home in Krawfort, Lexington. Man where turn I took to go so wrong?
    I sure hope to get back home before I die or I'll be lost for ever.
    Even the criminals had class there, and flowers smelled so good. I hope all the polliticians didn't screw up wonder land.
