5. Yep, my name is because of the song and not the TV show.

Though, I'm quite fond of the original show, as well.

They're probably my favorite band, though music has always been a big part of my life so I have a lot of favorites. I always wanted to travel to Europe to see them play since the chances of any US shows were pretty unlikely by the time I could have done it. Just never took the plunge. It's a long way to go (from Nebraska, then Texas) for a concert!

I became a fan because of "Twilight Zone" and "The Devil Made Me Do It" (and, shortly thereafter, the rest of Cut) though I was aware of "Radar Love" before that. My favorite stretch is Cut to The Hole, probably because I was a teenager through those years. My formative musical years. They got a little US airplay with "Quiet Eyes" from The Hole. Freakin' love that album.

One of my high-school classmates, a good friend, died of complications from ALS at 47. I thought of him when I read about George's diagnosis. Barry had always said they'd keep going until one of them couldn't, and he reiterated that after the diagnosis.

I'm not on DU much anymore for a variety of reasons, but I do try to chime in whenever I see a GE thread.
