• Self - Singer and Songwriter, B-52's : We were sort of part of the punk scene, the tail end of the punk scene, before New Wave was really happening. We just wrote our own kind of music, I mean, we'd classify ourselves as New Wave or Punk or anything like that - we were our own Southern fried original music. We were a dance band and at the time no New Wave band wanted to be called a dance band, I guess. But, we just got people dancing. We attracted all kinds of people from the school nerds, the gays, well everybody, actually, even frat boys. We just did our own thing and you can't really say, "Oh, that's an 80s song" or the B52s are this or that. And we just did what we considered great songs.
