Now this is some news I can get behind. The B-52s are going to be peforming at the Kentucky Derby this May. I’ve already planned that this’ll be my first trip to the Derby (it’s blasphemy that I’ve lived here 20 years and have yet to attend), so this’ll be the cherry on an already impressive weekend. The B-52s are, of course, touring in support of their new album Funplex, which I have yet to hear.
