B-52's
"Love Shack"
Released in 1989
The B-52s are a new wave band from Georgia that started in the 1970s, but many of their biggest hits came out in the 1980s. One of their first hits was a song called "Rock Lobster" and I heard that track every night at the restaurant I worked at as a teenager. The chefs would play it just before the final hour. Years later, the band became an MTV darling and music videos helped them become a huge act.

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
