Where’s the lie. 😱🤐😶

When Shakira was in grade school, no one liked her voice. Her teacher wouldn't let her join the school choir, and her classmates said she sounded like a goat.

Well it’s cool that she’s getting out of her comfort zone, perhaps she should stick to Y2K for her bubblegum editorializing. 👶🏻

In 1975, Ricky Wilson and Cindy Wilson, siblings from Athens, Georgia, embarked on a creative journey that would redefine music and style for decades to come. Just before forming the iconic band The B-52’s, Ricky and Cindy began experimenting with their unique blend of surf rock, punk, and dance music. Ricky's inventive guitar work, characterized by his unusual open tunings and jangly riffs, paired effortlessly with Cindy's distinctive, ethereal voice. Their vision was as bold as Ricky’s signature bowtie and Cindy's playful, retro aesthetic. Inspired by the eclectic energy of their hometown, the duo teamed up with friends Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, and Keith Strickland to form The B-52's. Their first gig at a Valentine’s Day party in 1977 marked the beginning of a movement that merged music, fashion, and performance art, all while celebrating the quirky spirit of the 1950s and 60s.

By 1979, The B-52’s released their self-titled debut album, which included hits like “Rock Lobster” and “Planet Claire,” catapulting them to fame. The album was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in Australia and Canada, and eventually achieving platinum status in the U.S. Their innovative sound and colorful performances made them pioneers in the new wave genre, influencing countless artists. Tragically, Ricky Wilson passed away in 1985, but his legacy lived on through the band’s continued success. Cindy, along with the remaining members, carried on to release timeless hits like “Love Shack” and “Roam,” solidifying The B-52’s as one of the most influential and enduring bands in music history. From their roots in Athens to international acclaim, their story is a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration.
