‘We Were at the Beach: Politics and the B-52's’
The music of the B-52's engages important political issues of gender and sexuality, typically in a playful style. This presentation explores their use of the beach setting in "Rock Lobster"; the roles of the women in the band; and the band's musical responses to the AIDS crisis.
