Wisdom, Experience, Deeper Pocketbooks And great stories. We know real music. We remember Led Zeppelin. Kiss is not merely a verb. It’s a band! But kiss is a verb too heh heh ;) When we golf you shop at the gap and Tiffany. Happy to offer fatherly advice and brotherly love. A shoulder to cry on and a friend to rely on. They keep on shouting you keep on shouting! I wanna Rock N Roll All Night! And Party Every Day! Thank you

Saw two of their "farewell" shows, 19 years apart (Haa), and I don't see how anyone can ever replace what they do, and have done.
Not even their new digital avatars

Def Leppard guy and the Kurgan are wrong. Fading away is actually pretty chill. You finally get some rest, savor things, build lasting relationships… Burning out is a lil bogus in my opinion.

I'm leaving for Vegas tonight to see the final performance of their latest residency, so I spent all week re-listening to all of their albums on vinyl. Apparently when you crack open my crusty shell, the 13-year old version is still intact within, gobsmacked by how seriously a bunch of adults can pursue their silliness.
I spent about five minutes worrying that I'd be disappointed seeing them again now that they (and I) are so old, but then I told myself to shut up. “They’re so over the hill” is the least B-52s sentiment imaginable. Their edginess was never dependent upon youth. They weren't exactly rebels, but they gloried in pillaging what’s old and awkward for the creation of something new and cool that embraces squareness rather than mocking it. What they want - what they’ve always wanted - is for people to have FUN, and they’re entirely non-judgmental about how you want to do it (unless it involves putting anyone down, in which case, no thanks). It’s a spirit that makes just as much sense old as it does young. As a blueprint for a culture, you could hardly do better. And I guess that’s why they’ve always been my favorites - because I still wistfully believe that if everyone shared their courage, spirit, and humor, this would be a better world.
Anyway, "Song for a Future Generation" is one of the greatest things ever committed to video.

The whole staff just sang happy birthday to some guy in the kitchen. All the patrons are diner people. At least at this hour. Forks crash into plates and knives scrape butter and jam on toast. It’s the perfect volume. Want to read my book but too content. Want to get pancakes but trying to stay light. Dont want to feel it in my face.

And I want to post it here. It’s tasteful and it’s art. Do I have your consent to post it here?

I brought the blanket and pillows from my bed onto the living room couch. I brewed a cup of coffee and had a bowl of cold cereal. I’m sad from private matters and tired from them too. I haven’t been able to watch sports at home in years. Haven’t had cable since I moved out of my parents. My buddy gave me his youtube tv login and I put on my favorite basketball team, The New York Knicks. I’ve become one with the couch, melted into the fibers and no club soda nor dog piss cleaner will dissolve me out. 3 quarters into this game and I’m feeling a thousand times better about the private and temporary matters which burden.
