Oh, man, if I can create another Gang of Four fanatic, I'll have done my good deed for the day.
Really, they were terrific, and everybody copied them, and once you hear their stuff, all "alternative" music will be revealed as simply Variations on a Theme by Gang of Four. (Michael Stipe admits that he imitates them.)
I saw them live in a small concert hall when I was in college, and they were fantastic. It was a dancing crowd, all except for a fortyish Asian couple right in front of us who sat there with polite listening expressions on their faces as if they were at a really enjoyable performance of Mozart or something.
Interesting point about Stella. I think hanging out with the bad boys is fun for a lot of girls, and of course it's safer for the ones with money.
