Come on ASA, you've never heard of the "Texas Triplets"?
It doesn't take a Sharp Dressed Man to know the Three Lads from Texas.
I stopped paying attention to music & groups in about 68.
As a participant in the South East Asia War Games My concerns then were much more basic than entertainment. By the time I got back to "the world," the music had died in a drug induced stupor.
Someone posted something about Micheal Stipe on a thread. I had no idea who he was, until someone reminded me of REM. I can’t think of any REM songs that stand the test of time. But the eliminator album is as good now as ever.
