Fantastic!!

Athens, ga. is the Portland of Georgia, if you subtract the university football crowd. I live 15 minutes outside it. The B-52s have a music star of fame thing here. It's guitar picks instead of stars, 1 block of downtown outside the Georgia theater, as well as R.E.M. and others.

I love how his friend never talks.

Ha! I actually once sold a box of collected stuff by pop gods The Judy’s (who I saw play with the B-52s on the Mesopotamia tour!) that literally had all that kind of stuff included - color vinyl, rare singles, boots, plastic doodads, flyers, handwritten stuff from the band, *and an official Judy's comb!* - on EBay… but I got close to $1,000 for it!
