Do the Shu-ga-Loo , Do the Shy Tuna, Do the Camel Walk, Do the Hip-o-crit, Do the Coo-ca-Choo, Do the Aqua-Velva, Do the Dirty Dog, Do the Escalator and don't forget the hippy hippy forward hippy hippy hippy hippy hippy shake….
So it was time to put on some glad rags, ok for me it was a clean shirt and tidy jeans, and it was off to Manchester with Peri to see the B52s the best dance and party band ever…… ( well I know a lot of people who think this is correct and I would agree with them ).
The audience was definitely more mature than some concerts I have been to recently but there was a number of younger fans who were certainly enjoying themselves. The B52's played a great set, it was a mixture of songs from the new album and a number of old classics like Love Shack, Roam, Planet Claire and Rock Lobster. They were on stage for 85-90 minutes, a lot longer than some younger bands.
I even went to Birmingham the next night to see them again, TIP Manchester Academy is a much nicer venue than Birmingham Academy for seeing bands, better parking and even air conditioning.

Aging hippy? Speak for yerself! aging maybe, hippy never – I was a New Wave kiddie!
Are you sure that is correct ? I have a pretty good idea of your age…..I seem to think we were born in the same year……..

1) I'm a whole year younger than you
2) in my neck of the woods at least, everyone leaving school in the late '70s was into punk or new wave -the hippies were all embarrasssing old people of ooh at least 25!
Well according to the information you have included about your self on that infamous climbing WEB site we are exactly the same age…..

The B52s did come out of the pink scene in the US.
That should read Punk scene, U and I are very close together on the keyboard………..
