The "Love Shack" Burns Down.

The tin roof and a burned-out frame are all that remain of a cabin believed to have inspired the B-52's '80s party hit "Love Shack."

...

"I just was in touch with the B-52's," said Allisa Huestis of Atlanta, who had planned to move into the renovated house next week. "They said it was the original Love Shack and was where they created `Rock Lobster,"' the popular song from the band's 1979 self-titled debut album.

:-)

But I really shouldn't talk today. I should have posted the "Santa gets busted for pot" thread in the Lounge last night too. I mis-posted it and said "To heck with it."

9. Sad... Athens, GA is such a cool town...

Years ago, I toured Athens and tracked down several REM sites, including Weaver D's "Automatic For the People" BBQ restaurant.

Sad news about the Love Shack...:(
