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?

My brother Andrew sent me a text with a link to a video posted by an aggregated content page, of Jack Black playing a toy saxophone on the Jimmy Fallon late night television show with the text reading “up your alley.”
At one point in time this would have deeply upset me as this video is not up my alley. It’s not my sense of humor, nor is it of my interest, and worst of all it’s sincere. I think I curate and maintain a cool and authentic aesthetic but deep down I know what he means and he’s kinda right. Nobody knows you like those who knew you when you were 12 and there’s no fooling them.
