I was so tired of punk back then when The Specials came along with a new kind of party.

After a mess of myopic folkies and hipsters, the humor of ska and the Specials is so refreshing!

For 30 years, have remebered this performance on SNL as one of the all-time best. After hearing now, went to YouTube to confirm. http://youtu.be/iP-0MIs_Jjk Verdict: Yep. |

Did anything actually come of these guys regrouping? There was a report in the Grauny last year that they were getting back together.
