Not even in the same class as Stipe and friends.... Loosen up, it's not supposed to be Kierkegaard. Also, they were playing around Athens for quite a while before "Stipe and friends" even showed up. |

| SinisterDexter | Posted: Mar 20, 2011 - 08:12 Yikes! Playing B-52's right after the Beatles is a shock to the system. Could you have at least warned us? |

| Panama_Floyd (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Apr 05, 2010 - 22:39 Any song that coins a new term for a societal condition deserves an 8. Only reason I didn't go 9 is because it's from my own generation, and I don't want to show any bias. OTOH, it's been dang near 30yrs since "Wild Planet" was released, and I still hear people much younger than that say that a clueless person is "..living in their own Private Idaho.."  |
