i suppose i'm just really surprised that everyone's already heard of
them, and i have not. i've got some catching up to do.
then again, i'd never heard of the B-52's until 1986 or so. i'm just
not as music-savvy as i think i am, apparently.

My first and only exposure was seeing them on Jay Leno. I was NOT
impressed; but then, a lot of people stink in that venue. And
Leno("Oh La La") + SNL(MWtCiHE) = SNL(MWtCiHE).

Hey, that's more or less what she looked liked when I saw her, only her
outfit was all black, and she was much taller and skinnier, with a much
smaller head.
Oh, yeah, and she was playing a theremin with her crotch.

Take AG's "Oh La La" on Leno's show and add it to KB's "Man With the
Child in His Eyes" on Saturday Night Live, and what you've got is
Kate's MWtCiHE.

Your idea of a great live show is becoming quite clear.

are the audience getting apart from seeing me just standing there
that they can't get on an album? On the albums, they get much better
arrangements, much better vocals which are in tune, all that sort of
thing..." - Kate (in _Musician_, 1985)

As I always say, you can never go wrong with sex, drugs, and theremins.

Now that you mention it, probably not. But it's about high time!
Well, I think I may have said it before at Burning Man, but it's all a
blur....
