The B-52s es una icónica banda estadounidense de New Wave y Rock Alternativo formada en 1976, reconocidos debido a su estilo enérgico, irreverente y extravagante, que fusiona elementos del punk, la música dance y el surf rock.
Formados en Athens, Georgia, en 1976, el grupo revolucionó la música con su fusión única de rockabilly, punk, música surf de los años 60 y elementos de la cultura pop vintage.
Proviene del peinado estilo beehive (colmena) que usaban las vocalistas Cindy Wilson y Kate Pierson, el cual se asemejaba a la nariz del icónico avión bombardero Boeing B-52.
Se define por las armonías vocales perfectas de Cindy y Kate, en contraste directo con la voz hablada y el estilo sprechgesang (mitad cantado, mitad hablado) del líder Fred Schneider, todo impulsado por los ritmos de guitarra afinada de forma única de Ricky Wilson y la batería de Keith Strickland. Sus videoclips, vestuarios coloridos y pelucas gigantescas crearon una mitología visual kitsch inolvidable.
Ian Curtis had previously criticized Tony Wilson for not booking the band on his earlier music show So It Goes, Amused by the blunt feedback, Wilson invited them onto Granada Reports. Giving the band their first TV appearance and leading to them signing to his label Factory Records

Twenty-eight years ago, the world lost Frank Sinatra, and I lost my dad. I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over the loss of him, or the fact that my siblings and I were disregarded and not given a chance to say goodbye.
My father was one of the most extraordinary men I ever had the privilege to know. What an incredible life he lived, and what a remarkable legacy he left behind. On this sad anniversary, I find myself thinking about all he accomplished, the joy he brought to so many people, and the love he gave to those closest to him. The world could certainly use his warmth, kindness, grace, and wonderful sense of humor today. He had a way of making people feel special, whether it was one person sitting beside him or on stage in front of thousands.
What I regret most is that his great-grandchildren never got the chance to know him. Oh! How they would have loved each other.
Twenty-eight years later, the world still sings along with him. Young people continue discovering him for the first time, while those who loved him from the beginning still treasure the man and his music. His music is special because it came from somewhere real, and because he meant every word he sang. He left behind a body of work that continues to bring people comfort, joy, romance, and strength.
Dad was always concerned that his work would be forgotten, so he would be absolutely thrilled to know that his legacy lives on across generations, not only through his music, but in the hearts and on the playlists of millions of people around the world.
Frank Sinatra is eternal.
And I still miss my Daddy. I love you, Poppa.
