B-52’s Are Cheery, Energetic & Professional—That’ll Get The Job Done
I saw the B 52’s last week here in Houston.
The band was cheery, professional, creative and energetic. They struck the right line between being friendly, and yet a bit removed from the audience.
They appreciate that you bought a ticket and that you would like to see them play, but they are not going to invite you up on stage or out for a drink after the show.
That is just how it should be.
I try to avoid knowing much about the baseball players I follow or about people in bands I like.
I just imagine them all as nice enough people—or least not bad people—and let it go at that.
The video with this post is Song for a Future Generation.
It is a happy song.
Here is an introductory history of music with links to additional information if you are so inclined.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Kinda wish I’d been there. Their reunion of the four core members album was pretty good.
Sometimes the oldsters can rock out. I saw Erasure at the True Colors tour up at the Woodlands a few years ago. I was impressed
Yep.. They keep at it for a long time in many cases. I suppose it is hard to go and get a desk job after you’ve been playing in a band for so long.
