Guest Post by AMJ's Florida Office Editor Ziona KocherAs my parents and I drove all day on Saturday, the only thing I could think of to be happy about was the prospect of seeing the B-52's. Everything else seemed so depressing (to me, at least). Everybody keeps telling me how great college is, and that I will love it, but I wasn't convinced. I was moving away from the people I loved most to go ...

I'm not sure which of these stories is more shocking, so it's up for a vote! Both are "news" today and feature a blast from the past making a comeback. First up - Kate Pierson, the fiery red-head in The B-52's, apparently has a scorned lover who retaliated by posting a nudie pic of the star online. But, as Perez Hilton reported, "her body still looks bangin' " so no harm done I suppose. Her...

It would feel wrong – cruel even - to toss any negativity in the direction of the affable new-wave group the B-52’s. They’ve always been such founts of positivity – drolly witty ambassadors of good cheer, and purveyors of empowering, willfully inclusive garage-pop songs that are carried along by wacky cartoonish lyrics and jubilant dance beats.Sure, a lot of their output could be considere

Does Parker Posey even REALIZE how much she owes Cindy Wilson???? Cindy is just so groovy and cute as a button in the video for "Song For A Future Generation" from the 1983 B-52's album "Whammy!" - in fact the whole band seems like they've either having a very good time, or they've been dosed with windowpane and set loose on a 1960's variety TV show set. Not much to say other than forget "Love ...
