S1E44 – The Boomtown Rats – "The Fine Art of Surfacing"
Published 7 years, 3 months ago
Description
Rob and Barry put on our wrap-around shades and faux leather jackets, park our Camaro behind the dumpster, and sneak into the New Wave club to catch The Boomtown Rats, before their frontman Bob Geldof moved on to Band Aid and Live Aid. Those events would put his band in a shadow, and less remembered than they might be otherwise. Best known for "I Don't Like Mondays," The Fine Art of Surfacing has other hidden gems, just like the "Most Filling Ever" Oreos that fueled this episode.
