I have been watching and listening to him lately and felt like he was not remembered. What a talented and unique artist.

I think Tin Huey played that night, too.

Some members of Huey were involved with the Waitresses



Devo recorded their first EPs and album at Bushflow studios in the basement of a house I lived at.

A good album of the times is 'Bowling Balls From Hell".



The sax/hoen player from Huey, and the Waitresses was Ralph Carney who also played on several B-52s, his son is one of he Black Keys.

I wish I had the chance to see him sing a live show. I lived in NYC when he was there but was a poor art school student whose money had to go to art supplies first and food second.

"The Nomi Song" is a very good documentary about Klaus Nomi (real name Klaus Sperber)

from the French newspaper in the video. He seems to really enjoy performing and his enthusiasm is contagious. I can see why Bowie wanted to work with him. Rush Limbaugh used HIS song?!?!? I hope he lost the lawsuit BIGLY. I keep hoping the orange blob would get sued for using other people's music without permission. They complain but he does it anyway without paying, somehow getting away with it at his rallies.

I guess an avid listener would know better.

I'll leave it though.

even as evil as Limpbaugh is, he never used it himself. That word is a slur about a class of people. Please remove it.
